What food can or has given you the ick. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.

Well I've gotten that with coffee and pomegranate molasses too, what foods have done that for you?

And bonus, anybody know why that happens?

Also the ick isnt just getting bored of smth after a while, it's one event that ruins that food for you. Also can't be a food you are having for the first time. Ideally if it is being consumed in a normal way and its not the preparation of the food that ruins it.

Peanut butter smells bad. Peanut butter smells like mouse traps.

No one else could set them (disabled, or cried about it) so it was all on me

Can't stand the smell of peanut butter now

I'm extremely allergic to it. I smell it and I can't actually describe it as food - it just smells like danger.

Are you able to tell it is toxic to your system by the smell alone, or do you recognize the danger by association ? because you've been stung before ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It's so hard to say because the allergy has been present my whole life - many exposures. The same thing goes for the taste of peanuts/peanut butter - I couldn't actually describe how it tastes because I'm about 30s from throwing up.

I knew pb was used in roach traps, didn't know its also used for mice. Thats cool

It's the easiest thing to use, as it clings to the snap traps. Other items can fall out.

Sometimes they manage to lick the traps clean without them going off. One day, a better mouse trap...
