When I was 16 years old I worked a summer at a pear orchard. Drove tractors, worked in the shed, loaded packed pears into semi-vans. Went to bed at nite, closed my eyes and all I could see were pears. I burned out on pears and haven’t ate many in the last 50 years.

LOL! I don’t blame you. My grandmother worked in a candy store when she was very young - she said you get tired of candy really fast, even the smell of it ;-)

I get it. I waitressed overnights at Perkins while in college. To this day I truly dislike pancakes. You couldn’t even pay me to eat anything with pancake syrup.

I still like real maple syrup, but the fake stuff; yuck.
