I can no longer stand most
artificial flavors, especially artificial
fruit flavors. Well, the
citrus ones don't bother me--there's something about the
acidic nature that cuts the
harshness--but things like
grape,
cherry,
blueberry, and the ultimate evil,
raspberry, simply
sicken me.
Why is this? I think I find the smell of them entirely too strong. These flavors persist in my mouth and nose for literally hours after they would cease being enjoyable even if I did like them. They give me headaches and make me feel the air is stale all around me.
