18 ‘Acquired Tastes’ That People Wish They Could Aquire
Animals will pretty much eat anything and everything they can get a hold of. Humans, on the other hand, have got to be the pickiest eaters on the planet.
And that goes for everything in our lives. What music we can stand to listen to, what hobbies we're interested in. We're so picky. Thanks to AskReddit we've compiled a list of acquired tastes that people have either refused or flat-out couldn't bring themselves to acquire.
What do heavy metal, sparkling water, cigarettes, and anime all have in common? They're all very specific acquired tastes, of course. Sit back and see if yours made the list.

ASMR. It irritates my ears and makes my teeth feel itchy. I also don’t intend on acquiring it anytime soon. -Standard-Carry-2219

Avocado. I don't know if it's an acquired taste, but I just can't acquire it. I know, I'm a monster. -nodontpleaseno

I'm a nerd and I have so many nerd friends who are really into Anime. They have access to millions of hours of entertainment. But no, it's terrible. I just can't get into it. -peon47

Beer. It just tastes gross. I'll stick to my fru fru drinks even though the boys make fun of me :( Edit: I'm also a college student so double whammy. -ShermanWasRight1864

Black coffee. I tried to be a cool coffee guy when I was like 18 and forced myself through black coffee a few times. I gave up on it and realized how much better a little milk and sugar makes it. Edit: I've tried French press, pour over, drip, light roasts, dark roasts, cheap beans, expensive beans. Turns out I just prefer it with milk and sugar. -mooimafish33

Reading classical books. It’s very interesting and sophisticated yet some are SO BORING. -heteroscodra

I could be wandering in a scorching desert for hours begging for a drink but still refuse to drink sparkling water. -PygmeePony

Chronicles of Narnia movie always made Turkish delight look delicious, in reality it's kind of meh. -DudesAndGuys

I'd love to be one of those guys who sips whiskey or scotch on ice, but when I try, it just tastes like gasoline and burns my throat. -Le_Utterly_Dire_Twat

Licorice seems to be almost as big a thing as chocolate with so many varieties and styles. My only problem with it is that it taste like absolute garbage in my mouth. Like, I find it so vile that I can’t even imagine how someone else could enjoy it either. I wish I could learn to like it but I doubt it will happen. -KaffeMumrik
