1. Cheesecake - This unholy matrimony of cream cheese and sugar should have never been created. Cake should be sweet. Cheese should be savory. This violates natural law.

2. Beer - Chilled rotten barley hop soup is gross. Everyone pretends it isn’t but it is. I know it, you know it, let’s drop the charade.

3. Beans (by extension, burritos with beans or anything else with beans) - I think it’s a texture thing. Kinda grainy and just all around gross.

I agreed with all of these when I was young, but I learned to appreciate Cheesecake (with fruit) and some beans (including bean burritos). Never tried to cultivate a taste for beer, the last thing I need is an addiction or a beer belly on top of my food belly.

I still hate - Walnuts. Many a delicious brownie has been ruined by their inclusion. They taste like dirt, and I will die on that hill. I've had more than one person tell me they like them but agree with me that they taste like dirt.

In another area, movies:
1. Star Wars - part of this is probably due to a personal issue; I wanted to see it when it came out, but I was punished for something by my idiot father so he took my brother without me (whatever I was punished for was likely actually my brother's fault). I watched it he first time it was on network TV several years later and got nothing out of it. No clips I have ever seen of the sequels have piqued any interest in me, nor has anything I have ever read about them.

2. Jurassic Park - the first movie I ever walked out of early; I couldn't take the screaming kids and was rooting for them to be eaten but knew that wouldn't happen.

3. Mission Impossible - the second (and last) movie I ever walked out of early; wearing a face mask doesn't change one's voice and body size!

Since the mid-90s I have seen very few big summer blockbusters and haven't felt like I was missing anything. Except for superhero movies, I like many of those.

Jurassic Park is a fantastic piece of art! Otherwise, I tend to agree with your list.

Did you ever see Jurassic World? That’s a close second to the original for the best in the series.

Uber/Lyft: No, I won't put another spyware app on my phone for the privilege of getting into random people's cars. I'm honestly surprised there aren't more homicides and sexual assaults on rideshare apps, considering how easy it is to buy hacked driver accounts on the dark web and the companies give zero ****s.

I could probably think of a dozen new things to add every week for a year. But to start,

Mac & Cheese
Sushi
Sci Fi
Horror movies
SUVs & pickups
Cell phones
Scotch
Cigars

Ugh no, I never even attempted to watch any of the sequels.

Cooked salmon. I feel like I should love it, but never have, not once ever. Kind of same for tuna, unfortunately. I'll house salmon and tuna sushi with the best of them, but nope.

Have yet to use Uber/Lyft/Doordash/etc and I am semi-travelly with work. Doordash seems like the dumbest **** ever on top of being the most dystopian thing ever where the place of business, the 'dasher', and the customer all get ****ed at the same time by some nerd.

Popcorn. Hot buttered styrofoam. Texture is gross, flavor is nonexistent (thus all the butter and salt, or alternately candy coatings that would be better eaten without the popcorn base), and it's full of hard sharp bits of shell to get stuck between your teeth.

Everyone seems to enjoy it so much that every once in a while I'll try it again, thinking maybe hating it was just a phase. Nope.

massive +1 to popcorn

Also: ceiling fans and sunroofs

+1 to scotch, as well as bourbon, and whiskey in general. That is some amazing marketing that has convinced millions of people that it is classy and sophisticated to imbibe liquids that taste like the inside of a vacuum cleaner bag.

I will add coffee to the list. I have tried my best to try it, but could never go more than two sips without spitting it out in disgust.

Add Canadian Whiskey. Crown Royal or any of the flavored (Fireball!) whiskies that use Canadian Whiskey as a base can **** right off. Also, flavored Jack Daniels.

Love bourbon, rye, etc though.
