What was something you tried once

Oooooh! I love this question. So fun!! I have a couple...

Sushi... just gross for me. This applies to most fish actually.
Paris... did not enjoy. Would not return.
Ferris Wheels... I think they're terrifying.
Gel Manicures... I hate what they do to the nail bed.
Tequila... just nasty and smells bad.
Snorkeling in the Open Ocean... Fine by the shore, did not enjoy Molokini in Maui.
 
Shrimp...the structure alone :sick: the same applies to mossels YUCK!!
Cold coffee or ice tea...My mind just won't get that "cold" part I think :unsure:
Beets...I just don't like them o_O
Energy drinks (Monster, red bull etc etc) Just the smell of them...:sick:

Paris... did not enjoy. Would not return. I actually lived in Paris for the year I turned 30 - takes some getting used to.
Ferris Wheels... I think they're terrifying. I find them boring - ha ha
Gel Manicures... I hate what they do to the nail bed.
Tequila... just nasty and smells bad. Too many barf stories involve tequila for me to want to drink it - ha ha
Snorkeling in the Open Ocean... Fine by the shore, did not enjoy Molokini in Maui. I did the Molokini thing - but it was scuba diving. As we were headed back to the boat a dolphin came around and I was the only one in the group with a shot left in my camera.

Beet salad. I was at a work event for my husband and trying to act cool, but my face told the story of my distaste. People at the table were laughing at me. I'm sensing a commonality in our posts so far. Beets are one of few foods I truly do not like.

That carnival ride where you get inside like a bid drum & all stand on the edge & then it just spins incessantly. Gross. :sick:

i think i'm good doing this whole life thing just the once :P

as a more serious answer I don't try a whole lot of things - i don't like crowds or busy places or noise so most things like that I wouldn't do.

I guess a massage is something I tried once and I didn't enjoy it. I'd rather just have my husband do it lol

Once ditched ex-husband and friends at Disneyland because I couldn't handle the crowds. And part of why I literally had a panic attack on only reaching the first story worth of steps of the Astoria Column was that those steps were crowded with people going up and down (that they were open winding steps did not help either - first panic attack and only panic attack of my life)

I guess a massage is something I tried once and I didn't enjoy it. I'd rather just have my husband do it lol I do like massages but they are just too expensive these days. When my husband does it, it never ends at just a massage - lol

That used to be one of my favorites at the big fair/exhibition that happens the end of summer back in Toronto - it never bothered my stomach or anything - next up, The Zipper! That said, I am no longer that person and have no idea how I'd react now.

shut up about sushi! and Paris! lol
 
about your question, Tracey...

snails - I think that is the name for the food? I ate it at @Soco's house and it was YUMMY. but once is enough. LOL

Love you, Soco! ♥
 
I took a red eye flight on a trip coming home and I will not do that again. The lack of sleep, my back pain, and my aversion to flying made it a particularly irritating trip.



I have tried sushi and I don't like it and won't give it another chance.

I love fried shrimp but boiled shrimp is a no for me, dawg.

I grew up drinking iced tea, so I have no problem drinking iced coffee. It's harder for me to have hot tea or hot coffee unless it's the dead of winter as it raises my body temp. Although the hot tea (Bigelow's Constant Comment) along with local honey and freeze dried oranges was SO soothing on my throat when I was sick for the past several weeks, that I've grown rather fond of it.

I'm a foodie, but there are a few things that I just can't get behind. I would love to experience Brazil, but I'm a horrible traveler.

I don't like beets, but I do love cucumber and onion salad, either in a vinegar dressing or with a sour cream dressing. My mom used to like pickled beets. I'm a fan of a lot of pickles, but not beets.

I didn't see the one that went viral. I think there's too much in it, but I might try it for something different.

Old Fashioned Cucumbers and Onions in Vinegar (Southern Cucumber Onion Salad)

My mom would also take dill pickles and make them into sweet pickles and they are awesome as a side with tuna or chicken salad, bbq sandwiches, etc.

Don't worry! I feel the same about them! 😂 I think that would be the one for me too! (And I LOVE you too! ❤️)

I'm with Robin on the gel manicures...they wrecked my nails and I am still growing out the grooves they caused.

I have tried sushi but don't care for it, don't think I'll ever eat it again.

Amie already mentioned the carnival ride where you stand with your back against the circular wall and then it spins like crazy...one time was enough for me!
 
"Dinosaur" ribs. Not because I didn't like them but they're just MASSIVE (and are priced accordingly). Google says a raw rib - just one - is between 1.5 and 3 lbs before cooking 😅 I'm not sure I finished the one rib I started
 
White water rafting. Not a fan. I was terrified I would fall out so I told the guide to be sure I didn't fall out or my husband would hunt him down! ha!ha! 🤣 I was on a teacher retreat and forced to go or I would not have willingly. One of the male teachers from our school was in the other raft and fell out. He was stuck under the raft for a long minute before he found his way out from under it. Our guide hooked his foot around my ankle and sat next to me to make sure I didn't fall out. I guess he didn't want my husband hunting him down! ha!ha! 🤣

oh see this is something i do want to try but am too chicken to do it! i get motion sickness so easy and i'm scared that would happen? we have some gorgeous areas for it around here..
 
I am a foodie and will try anything and have eaten a lot of things that people would consider gross.

I'm with you @Robin Carlton for the ferris wheel. I knew I was afraid of heights but I went on one to please the family and had my first panic attack. No thanks!
I used to love roller coasters when I was younger but now no thanks.
 
No snails, eels and crayfish for me please. Yuck.
No energy drinks either.
Love sushi, but hate wasabi.

Ice skating. I was excited to get the chance to try it during high school, but then I had a panic attack within 5 minutes on the ice. The trauma of breaking my elbow when I was 6 was kicking in and I trembled so badly I could not even stand while holding onto the fence.
 
Dubai chocolate
Black olives
Oysters - just thinking about the slime makes me heave
Boba
Black licorice
Also a beet hater

Public pools
Hot tubs
