Why would someone voluntarily taste something that another person has told them is nasty?

They do it for the same reason that people treat a "Wet Paint" sign as an instruction to touch the wall to see. "Well, but is it still wet?"

"De Gustibus" means one person's nasty taste is another person's pleasant experience. Loved limburger, didn't care for Durian much the one time I tried it. Years ago I had a co-worker who brought some kind of native fish sauce to work. It literally evacuated our shared cafeteria when he microwaved it, but I thought it tasted kinda neat. (PS Just added you to my friend list, like the way you think. Saw you comment in hawkegirl's journal. Read your pages, could become a fan.)

*waves* Hi! Welcome to the insaity. ;)

(also, I don't tend to check on wet paint, either, unless I _know_ the sign has been there a while)
