“No food should contain lemon or lemon flavoring. That includes seafood. That includes cookies and pies. Ditto for orange, lime and any other citrus. They are fine in a beverage, but NOT IN MY FOOD. On a related note, no fruit/chocolate dessert combos,” expressed a Twitter user. “Raw tomatoes should never be on sandwiches,” commented another. “Pizza is boring (just greasy toppings on bread),” shared a third.

Here’s how some others reacted:

While reacting to the various kinds of responses he received, Young shared another post. “Okay, I need to get to bed, but I’m genuinely surprised by: 1. The rejection of mango. (I never knew such intense feelings existed.) 2. People who actually share my feelings about potatoes. Solidarity. Thank you everyone for your goodwill and generosity,” he wrote.

What are your thoughts on the tweet?
