There are a couple other ones, like cilantro tastes like soap (took me some time to figure that one out) and apparently one that makes pee stink when you eat asparagus, and you need another to actually smell the pee stink (I don't know if it's true, I just got em all and collected info in the internet).

Cilantro tastes like bathwater/ wet washcloth to me.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cilantro tastes amazinging fresh and plantey in a great way, for those of us without a genetic defect.

Do you taste that with cooked cilantro in a dish or just with raw cilantro?

Bro that's not a defect, it means they can actually smell some molecules you can't.

Another famous one.... bookstores make a lot of people need to poop. https://www.buzzfeed.com/farrahpenn/urge-to-poop-in-bookstore-mariko-aoki-phenomenon

That was a crappy article.

TLDR: in a bookshop you relax, maybe sit down, maybe have tea was the reason...
