Is it normal to not like chocolate

For me I like some chocolates, but not others. For instance, love brownies, but not a fan of chocolate cake. And I'm not a fan of chocolate ice cream, or chocolate butter creme icing. I like chocolate candy bars OK though, and chocolate milk, and I like chocolate chips in all flavors, including milk, semi dark and white. People that don't like chocolate are aliens. That's one of the signs. Location: Southwest Washington State. I do like a good brownie, however.

But I am curious if you like coffee. Coffee and dark chocolate flavors seem related to me. I like only dark chocolate - milk, and especially white makes me nauseated. And I don't like anything coffee. Will drink coffee on a social situations if declining would sound rude but i am not enjoying it. I hope I am still "normal" Need help? I love chocolate, but I have known several people who don't like it at all. One is my brother-in-law, who says he used to like chocolate but ate too much as a child and developed an aversion.

Dislike of chocolate is not unknown, that's for sure, but it's not as common as disliking liver, beets, fish, etc I like chocolate, but I don't like all kinds and apparently, I don't like it as much as a lot of other people. I hated chocolate when I was pregnant along with coffee, cheese and other foods that I normally love.

I always wonder if there is something about it that my body thinks is bad. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. For my 1st birthday, my parents bought a chocolate cake , and — much to my horror — there is evidence that I ate it. Anyway, my taste buds changed drastically between the time that photo was taken and the age at which I started retaining memories.

As it turns out, chocolate is a pretty important food group to just about everyone else. Having gone most of my life without this delicacy, I have become a professional at navigating the ups and downs of a life without chocolate. I've compiled a list of some of the most common occurrences when people find out I hate chocolate. If you are a fellow chocolate-hater, I hope you can relate. If you're not, please refrain from doing some of the following in the future.

Once I got to college, I thought we would stop playing silly "get to know you" games on the first day of a new class. Unfortunately, I was wrong. On the bright side, there isn't a game of "two truths and a lie" that I can't win. People simply can't believe that I actually hate chocolate; so, naturally, they think it's the lie. First day icebreakers might suck, but seeing the looks of surprise on people's faces sure doesn't.

I mean you might actually be crazy, but they could at least get to know you better before jumping to that conclusion. Every time someone new finds out you don't like chocolate, they have the same shocked reaction. It's like admitting to hating puppies or something. After all, the average American scarfs down nine-and-a-half pounds of the sweet stuff each year!

What's even more shocking is that there's a rare bunch out there that would actually turn down the treat—every single time. Yup, chocolate haters exist, and we were determined to discover the science behind why certain folks feel inherently bitter about the sweet. According to Daily Mail , the same chemical found in Hershey's chocolate is also found in Parmesan, spoiled butter, and—get this—vomit.
