    We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the foods that they just ~know~ they hate, even though they've never tried them:

    1. Watermelon.

    "Saying it or hearing someone say 'watermelon' actually makes me gag. Seeing one uncut doesn't make me feel sick but if I see one cut up, forget about it I'm gagging. Couldn't tell you why. Never tried it never will I physically don't think I could? Pathetic."

    2. Rice pudding.

    "Looks like vomit."

    –daniikitten

    3. Baked beans.

    "Just looking at them makes me gag."

    –todormaru13

    4. Oysters.

    "You’re telling me shells with weird squishy meat that you SLURP OUT in them are supposed to taste good? I’ll pass now and forever thank you."

    5. Spam.

    "I feel nauseous just thinking about it."

    8. Kimchi.

    "it smells like a foot."

    9. Sushi, especially with avocado in it.

    "The textures look horrifying to me. Also, knowing how much I loathe avocado, I can just imagine sushi with avocado is two times nastier."

    –jjrajjra

    10. Shellfish.

    "Things that have their skeleton on the outside freak me out."
