As an Immigrant, I was introduced to root beer / Dr Pepper (I know they are not the same - but are similar) in my 20s but never quite liked it. Neither did many of my other Indian friends. We picked up different beers, wines, cocktails, soft drinks etc etc but nobody I know picked up root beer.

Is this common with other people who are introduced to Root beer as an adult ? Are there other flavors/tastes that are unlikely to be acquired as adults ?
