Strawberries are lovely, strawberry flavoured things are not.

[Paq]

Actual strawberries are delicious.

Strawberry jam, jelly, yoghurt, ice cream, sauce... are all horrible. Raspberry, blackcurrant, blueberry etc. versions are better.

AIBU?

YAsoNBU.

Correct

I agree. Same with coffee. Coffee is nice. Coffee flavoured things are horrible

Totally agree!

Ditto bananas.

I disagree about strawberries.
But I’d definitely agree if you were talking about bananas.

Yes and hot strawberries are revolting too

No, sorry OP, that distinction is for bananas - bananas are great banana flavoured things are ranker than rank.

100% agree

I see I'm in good company regarding bananas!

This

Yup. Agree.

Ooh me too!

They just can't copy the flavour at all.

And cherry can be quite dodgy. Sometimes it's lovely and sometimes it tastes like a weird medicine.

Absolutely. Anyone remember Pink Panther chocolate? I feel nauseous just thinking about it.

This is irrefutable. Strawberry flavour is vile; actual strawberries are delicious.

This is also true for many chocolate flavour food items (e.g. icing, ice cream, choc bourbons) but not universally true in the way it is for strawberry flavour items.

I do love coffee ice cream

I disagree about strawberry jam and ice cream if either are homemade using real strawberries. I always thought I hated strawberry jam until a friend made me a jar using the strawberries from her garden and it really was delicious. The same with strawberry ice cream, never liked it until a neighbour got an ice cream machine and made some using real strawberries.

I do agree raspberry flavour is always better than strawberry, but I’d also rather real raspberries over strawberries.

Strawberries & bananas- agree

Coffee - disagree

I thought I wholeheartedly agreed re strawberries and bananas but then I remembered that I, inexplicably, love both of those flavoured milkshakes - specifically M and S milkshake. And I don’t like any other milkshake of any flavour. I’m clearly weird.

YABU have you tried the mister choc strawberry yoghurt flavoured chocolate sticks from LIDL 🤤

No no no. Strawberry flavouring tastes fine compared to the pure evil that is artificial cherry 🍒 why is it so bad when cherries are so delicious?!

Ooh, I love coffee flavoured chocolates. Infact it's the only one I like in the average box 😋

I hate raspberry flavored things. It overpowers every other taste.

i feel this way about oranges. i love eating thr fruit but orange flavoured drinks such as tango, fanta etc taste disgusting to me, as well as orange flavoured sweets
