Fair enough. It's certainly not like that for most people though; which falls back to the _to you_ issue.

Maybe, as you questioned, there is a genetic component. Or just "something different about you" (not necessarily genetic).

No, this is pretty common in folks who don't drown their taste buds and systems in tons of it every day. Then you feel it anytime its there, since its pretty rare and its disgusting chemical bleh, one feels it fully.

Its a bit like smoking cigarettes - to many non-smokers, its disgusting beyond description, smearing face with old feces wouldn't be worse. To many smokers its mild, pleasant, they enjoy it with lunch etc.
