Could be as trivial as a type of food, a TV show, or something more serious.

Never got a soapy taste from cilantro, but as a kid, a suicidal stink bug landed on a PB&J I was eating.

At first I was pissed off at my brother, cuz that bastard put cilantro on a fucking PB&J!!! I spit the bite out. Wad of partially chewed sandwich, mixed with insect legs and broken shell lands on my plate: no cilantro. Brother is now looking up at me with a genuine expression of concern: not a prank.

Lesson 1: look before you bite.

Lesson 2: Stink bugs taste exactly like cilantro.

Lesson 3: ...cilantro tastes exactly like stink bugs.

The tiniest little flek of that shit can ruin an otherwise delicious bite of food.

@Sterile_Technique @PunnyName in some dystopian future where cilantro has gone extinct, stinkbugs get crushed up and dyed green as fake cilantro powder, much like horseradish pretends to be wasabi...... What a dark place that must be

The only difference would be a bit of crunch :P
