There are lots of weird genetic traits. Sneezing triggered by sunlight is another funny one.

Veritasium video on that one:

I got the "cilantro tastes like soap" gene personally. Would much rather have gotten the, "Always remember where I left my car keys" gene, or maybe the, "Come up with witty retorts on the spot instead of two hours later in the shower" one.

At least you don't have my "sky-high cholesterol no matter what you eat" gene.

Also artificial sweeteners have an unpleasant chemical aftertaste that lingers for a long time. Apparently that's generic too...
