    I’ll give you an unpopular opinion in the opposite direction. I think most sweets and desserts are cloying as fuck and can’t understand why people eat them, or at least want more than a bite or two. I pretty much only have taste buds for savory/bitter/salty tastes these days, and hot sauce and peppers are awesome.

      Different people having different tastes is hardly an unpopular opinion.

          That could be, but I don’t think the average person would find your dislike of sweets to be unpopular. I’d think most would understand.

        Did you comment this about the OP as well? We’re in shitpost and I was just trying to match the meme’s vibe

        I guess fruit, or maybe sorbet? I dunno, I don’t hate sweets, but it’s more that I almost never want them. Like if my partner has a piece of cake or some ice cream after dinner I’ll have a couple bites and it’s fine, but I would’ve never bought the cake for myself in the first place. Late night snacks for me are things like popcorn/chips, not chocolate/gummies.

      this depends heavily on the specific candy/dessert IMO, solid sugar candy is fine because it dissolves slowly, but some stuff just detonates a sugar bomb on your tongue and it genuinely makes me shudder in bone-deep rejection of something that must be poison.

      Swedish desserts are generally really enjoyable to me because they have a bunch of savoury with the sugar mostly coming from some sort of jelly or stuffing, like in cinnamon buns.
