For me, it's dark chocolate, and extra strong mints. So weird!

Horseradish sauce and raw unions.
Pear drops, any sweets with artificial banana or pear in them and over ripe bananas make me cough.

Ginger beer always makes me sneeze. Only the first sip though, fine after that and yes I know its a drink and not a food Smile

Really hot curry makes me sneeze and my nose run.

Strong cheese gives me a hot flush.

Cleaning my ear with a cotton bud makes my throat itch.. but that's not food !

billy1966 · 15/05/2020 22:44

White pepper

Dark chocolate for me too! OP, I have never met anyone else like me, it's so weird. Sometimes the first sip of strong alcohol too, like whiskeys

Notreallyawaitress · 15/05/2020 22:48

Limes - especially if I’m zesting them

onelittleclara · 15/05/2020 22:49

Pancakes

No food makes me sneeze, but I can't pluck my eyebrows without sneezing. Every single time.

ShowOfHands · 15/05/2020 22:56

Anything mint.

Hagisonthehill · 15/05/2020 22:57

I often sneeze non stop at 11 pm, it's like an allergy sneeze.I end up with a binged up nose and watering eyes.
No problem with food though!

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 15/05/2020 22:59

Toothpaste.

I also sneeze when I’m full. Not a good look in restaurants.

Black pepper.

Littleroundsponge · 15/05/2020 23:04

The curry powder sachet in instant noodles

Fresh pineapple and kiwi make the back of my throat itchy then I sneeze. I guess it's some kind of mild intolerance.

quarantinevibes · 15/05/2020 23:13

Chewing gum

ShanghaiDiva · 15/05/2020 23:15

Dark chocolate makes my dd sneeze too.

Suze1621 · 15/05/2020 23:18

Another toothpaste

Red wine - but not white - makes my daughter sneeze

Hot tea gives my sister hiccoughs

Cocolapew · 15/05/2020 23:21

Tomato soup, it gives me an itch under my chin for hours as well.

IFeelTheNeedTheNeedForSleep · 15/05/2020 23:22

Onions make me sneeze like crazy

Mumthedogsbeensick · 15/05/2020 23:29

When I used to drink cider it made my shoulders ache

JacobReesMogadishu · 15/05/2020 23:31

Baileys. Every time, just the first sip.

Polos.

fessmess · 15/05/2020 23:38

If you sneeze when eating dark chocolate you have a high amount of Neanderthal genes in you. I read this when I had my DNA done. 🦍

Shesellsseashellsontheseashore · 15/05/2020 23:42

Strong mints here too. Or chewing gum like airways.

threesenoughthanks · 15/05/2020 23:43

My best friend at school used to sneeze if she had more than one polo. I always thought it was so strange ( and hilarious ) but I guess it's quite common.
