Why people hate cherry

One thing I like to observe when people are eating is the stuff they love and the thing they hate. My friends, not limited to guys or girls, love to go for Ice-creme.  They crave for it. My favorite choice is iBerry, where I order Kraton almost every time. My friends' choice is Swensen's, pretty common favorite for most Thais. 

Most Swensen's ice-creme will come with cherry toppings. I found that many hated cherry badly. I personally like cherries and have no reasons to ignore it. While observed that cherries being disliked by friends over and over every time we go to Swensen's, I then stared to think of a good reason why they hated cherries.

My assumption is that cherry's flavor is associated with medicine. Perhaps a syrup kind of medicine when kids take at young age. We know how kids hate medication, such a painful process. So at first, from the fact that kids hate medicine doctors have to come with a solution to trick kids in taking them. The solution was to give a medicine a flavor, a flavor which is to be loved by children, something sweet, something fantasy. And there goes a cherry flavor. Till now every medicine for kids come with this lovely flavor. 

But, things won't forever work that way coz' we human can learn to evolve and mutate. What kids hate will forever be hated, it's unavoidable. The trick to give a lovely flavor to a medicine now back fires. Not only that kids hate medicine now they hate anything associated with it. And the lovely cherry is an unavoidable culprit. This hatred of cherry essence stemmed from a child through adult age. Now we can take pills without monkeying around coz' we had grown up, and afraid of dying but the fact that as a child we remember taking them was painful, and full of cherry essence, now haunt back the memory of the old day. 

So I concluded that, cherry is a victim for its good intention. Cherry, a good girl, is meant to give a nice taste for medicine which kids need to take to fight with diseases, the bad guy. Now it turned out sadly that people hate this good hearted girl, cherry. We disgusted her and ignore her without realizing the benefit she gives for the mankind.
