I have no idea whether I have that or not because I've never tasted soap for comparison. Cilantro has... A flavor for me, certainly, but I have no idea if it's the right one.

You never cursed as a child and had to wash your mouth with soap?

Oh, I've cursed all right. But do you mean to tell me your parents made you put soap in your mouth?

It was a somewhat common punishment for swearing or talking back to your parents in the US a few decades ago. You can probably see it shown in American cartoons from the 90s and 00s.

Some parents did back then. I think it's a 90s thing.

I've never gotten a soapy taste from it either, but I definitely have the gene that makes it taste horrid.

For me, the taste of cilantro is the exact same profile as the smell of stink bugs. So... Anything with even a tiny bit of cilantro in it tastes like it's filled with ground up beetles.

But not soap. Tbh I think soap would be an improvement.

...I'm super jealous of folks who don't have the gene - what they describe it tasting like sounds fucking amazing.
