I have never had fake grape flavoring that didn’t taste like some kind of soviet-era urinal cleaner, is that just a me thing? Do people really like grape flavouring, and my dislike stems from a horrible repressed childhood trauma or something?
Where I live, grape flavour is not common at all. The few times I tasted it, I didn’t like it. It tasted super artificial and not like grape at all.
Buuuuut, when I was in Romania I ate some thick skinned, round, fleshy grapes that taste exactly like the candy grape flavour. They were good actually
Same here. But my grandma made grape juice. The grapes taste nothing like the artificial flavour but the juice does. It tastes exactly like the artificial flavour and it is kinda baffling.
I hate grape flavoring as well, and always have. Actual grapes? Delicious. Raisins? Also great. But candy pretending to be grape flavored just feels like a chemical approximation of the worst flavors in a grape.
Cherry is also shit. I love cherries, my ideal relationship is where I get the cherries from the milkshakes and give the pickles from whatever. But cherry flavored candy or soda or whatever, unless it’s a nice place and they’re just pouring maraschino juice in your drink, tastes like being 6 and being forced to drink cough syrup.
So I may only love it because it was my mom’s favorite flavor so I have good memories of being a kid and picking grape stuff to share with her. But yeah I love the flavor. It’s definitely one of the more divisive of the popular artificial flavors though.
I can’t comment on it tasting like a soviet urinal, I’m not quite kinky enough to know how that tastes.

When I was a kid, I didn’t like cherry flavour for similar reasons, but for some reason, as an adult my tastes changed and it’s alright.
So I think grape flavour is generally just you, sorry to say. I certainly like it alright. :)
