Pie. Apple, peach, cherry, pecan, chocolate… all sickeningly sweet syurpy and disgusting.
Coffee. Vile stuff.
Perfume and incense, of all kinds, give me a headache. There is one cheap perfume that I can more or less tolerate, but only because I love the particular woman who wears it, but fragrances have made me stop at the door and go elsewhere.
Potpourri. I hate the smell of that and now that’s it’s X-mas time it’s freaking everywhere! :mad:
Incense. The kind stoners use to cover up their use. As a cop I can tell you you’re just tipping me off with it. And on a personal level I’d rather smell the stale stench of weed than whatever those cense are suppose to smell like.
At our state fair there is a building where all the famous cream puffs are made. I hate the smell inside that place. I think it’s the lard or oil they use for shortening. Everyone else loves it in there but it makes me want to gag.
Coffee, beer, and cocoanut.
Salted caramel or anything that combines salt and sweet. It’s absolutely disgusting in concept, and in taste.
Another for coffee. I like the smell of freshly ground, but drinking the stuff? No. Piping hot dishwater, and adding things like sugar, milk/cream, caramel, mocha, etc just make it worse.
I’ve never been able to abide the taste of any colas–Coke, Pepsi, RC, whatever. Bleh.
Another vote for shrimp. They smell like urine to me.
I don’t hate lobster or crab, but think both are difficult to eat bland flavorless meh.
Ham - can’t stand the taste. I did make one on Thanksgiving
Cilantro. I hate it.
Cumin. Really, why does anyone put this in anything?
Anything pickled. Anything that has been near anything pickled. Nasty, sour-tasting foul, rotting food. Yum.
Ketchup. Just disgusting. My son practically bathes in it. All parents should be automatically sainted for the things we do for our children.
New car smell - ugh, headache and nausea
While I like salted caramel, unfortunately, I agree that sugar seems to be in every savory food in America these days. I particularly can’t stand the sweet pizza sauces.
This is what I came here to say. The new car smell is like vomit.
Cilantro is vile. I really think my aversion to avocado was because I only ever tasted it in guacamole with cilantro in it.
I read somewhere (maybe on here) that acquired tastes are just Stockholm Syndrome for the taste buds. My only two acquired tastes are coffee and beer. I didn’t really like them at first, but their strong visceral rewards soon won me over.
I was gonna say. And yet, the smell of an actual pumpkin pie in the oven is true heaven on earth. It just doesn’t artificially belong in everything else, like beer, for example. Oh Gawd.
This. When I lived in NYC, I loved the tap water. But here, I use it only for making ice cubes, not for drinking. And more than a few per glass makes anything undrinkable.
That’s another one.
And bananas, how could I forget bananas.
Dr. Pepper - Astonishing that it has survived as a product. I wouldn’t feed it to my worst enemy. Although, I do have a coworker who lives on warm, flat Dr. Pepper. He’ll pour it from glass to glass until he’s gotten all of the carbonation out. Ugh.
Coffee - Another vote from me. Unbelievable to me that anyone would derive any amount of pleasure from coffee. The smell is enough to drive me from the room.
“Pine” scented cleaners - I’ve walked into a few homes and just stopped in the door, trying to figure out what’s wrong… It’s like being struck unexpectedly. I’ve heard that pets and pine cleaners are not a good combination - and I believe it.
Peanut butter. I hate the smell and the taste. Makes me nauseous. But I like peanuts!
I have a problem with anything people describe as “tart.” Apparently my sour taste buds are hypersensitive, because foods most people find pleasantly sharp taste pretty much like concentrated vinegar to me.
I love chocolates (sweet, not bitter), and I like cake but chocolate cake makes me cringe. The taste, the texture, the colour, everything. I mostly avoid the cake in birthday parties if it’s chocolate.
It’s a shame two absolutely wonderful things combine to form something so terrible.

Perfume, especially stronger ones make me gag. Riding an elevator with a perfumed beautiful lady is doubleplus hurting because of the dissonance. Reminds me of the “A Clockwork Orange” movie.
