Problem foods
As a whole, supertasters are less likely to enjoy and thus consume certain foods, although individual supertasters can certainly enjoy and consume these foods. Documented examples for either lessened preference or consumption include:
* alcoholic beverages[10] * Brassica oleracea cultivars o Brussels sprouts[12][13][14] o cabbage[12] o kale[14] * coffee[12] * grapefruit juice[13] * green tea[13] * spinach[12] * soy products[13]
Other foods may also show altered patterns of preference and consumption, but only indirect evidence exists:
* chili peppers - capsaicin burn is more intense in supertasters * tonic water - quinine is more bitter to supertasters * olives - for a given concentration, salt is more intense in supertasters

although i did taste the phenylthiocarbamide paper once

propylthiouracil , rather.
I'm one of those people who can't taste anything sweet in saccharin - it's just nasty bitter bitterness - is that the same as that paper test stuff?

Also, I can't smell when various dairy products have gone bad. Instead of supertaster, I am probably just wired funny.

Nuking 50/50 water and vinegar works for me...it's also good for loosening stuff spattered inside the microwave, if you nuke it a good long time and let it get steamy in there. Not that I'd EVER leave spatters inside a microwave for a few days before I cleaned it out, noooooo.
