    First of all, licorice is good actually, though black jelly beans are trash.

    One time I bought olive flavored gummies from the Asian market because I love olives and I was curious. Absolutely horrible, didn’t even finish one.

    Hersheys “chocolate”. I spit it out, and a bit embarrassed, asked “could it gone bad during the flight?”

    Well, obviously this stuff does taste like vomit, and Americans seem to be OK with that. Explains a lot about American behavior. If chocolate here would taste like that, we probably would have more mass shootings, too.

    Twizzlers.

    I tried them in the US and it just felt like I was chewing on a piece of plastic.

    On the other hand, unlike most of the people in the comments, I love licorice.

    American or South African chocolate products.

    NOT an anti-American/-Saffer thing. They add butyric acid, which tastes like vomit to the rest of the world. (Accurate, as vomit contains it).

    Presumably because the market there have been trained to expect that flavour for some reason. To the rest of us, a US or ZA origin is usually a sign to avoid.

    Black licorice. Or anything containing black licorice. It’s just fucking disgusting.

    Black licorice is just horrific. I try it every once in a while as I age thinking “Old people like this, maybe I’m old enough to like it myself, now”, but no. It’s still an instant headache/nausea combo at one taste. Ugh.

    Well, licorice is definitely up there.

    There’s some pralines that with some alcohol based filling that’s also really gross.

    But I still remember I was a kid and my parents bought these cheese crackers. They were awful, the it was a bit crumbly but they had this really bad taste of something I can only describe as for fungus & cream cheese. I literally had to take a break and concentrate on not barfing even though we just wanted to play tabletop games. I know it’s not sweet but that stuff lives rent-free in my head to this day.

    Licorice, that funny retro looking shit with the black and bright colors. They are as revolting to me as sushi
