Supertasters
This is a real phenomenon in which the taster has a stronger reaction to bitter foods (and sometimes fatty) foods. However some super tasters can have an aversion to overly sweet foods as well because it is an intense sensory experience. To conduct this experiment at home, look for PTC test strips or follow this procedure.
