About This Quiz

They say you are what you eat, but does that mean that you're not what you don't eat? In our opinion, it sort of does! At least, we'll be able to tell where you live based on the foods you find most disgusting. All you have to do is tell us about them. 

Do you remember those foods that you hated as a kid? Do you still hate them, or has your more mature palate found new and different foods to hate? During this quiz, we are going to ask you about all the most commonly despised foods on the planet. Then, we'll use the way you feel about them to figure out where you live. We might not get your exact zip code right, but we will know which state you call home. 

Whether you love or hate pineapple on pizza might have a little to do with the regional foods around you. By the time we get to know the foods that offend your palate, we'll know you as well as your best friend. Thankfully, this quiz is focusing on finding your map location and not revealing your inner secrets. 

Tell us about the foods you can't stand, and we'll take it from there! Will we get your location right?
