    “What’s your mutation? Teleportation? Laser Eyes? Weaponized Tornadoes?”

    “…I… I can smell ants… how about yours?”

    “Oh… well… my mutation is that cilantro tastes like chalk to me.”

      I was born with 2.5 kidneys, an extra ureter and 4 of my permanent teeth never showed up. Also mild colour vision deficiency.

      I was talking about it with our first lieutenant in the army and he went “Corporal, you’re a mutant!”. “Yes, sir, I am sir.”

      God soap cilantro just sucks. I really wish people knew it tastes like gross to like 3-21% of the world population.

      I just wish it wasn’t automatically in anything Mexican. I just want to taste what other people taste. :(

        Exposure therapy works for this. You can still detect the chemical that made it taste that way, but the brain can rewire to perceive it as pleasant. If you’re serious about fixing the problem, start by adding small amounts to dishes and work your way up as your tolerance changes.
