    Since the late 90’s Brussel Sprouts no longer taste bitter/bad. Some Dutch food scientists were able to isolate the bitter tasting chemical, find older variations of Brussel sprouts that had less of it, cross pollinate it with higher yield variations, and remove the bad taste.

    That version is pretty much the only one you’ll find to buy anywhere.

    So basically it’s everyone who had Brussels Sprouts pre 1999 who really universally hated them. The youngins never knew they used to taste like shit, and the old timers haven’t tried them in over 25 years because they don’t know they no longer taste like shit.
