George Bush Sr. famously hated them. For some reason, people found that funny. I didn't get it then and I still don't get it.

They used to taste far more bitter. Then in the late 90s, a breeder was able to remove that flavor.

I liked them bitter.

Cool. But that's also what people didn't like about them.
Also, without growing an old strain yourself, I'm not sure where you're getting bitter ones these days.

I’m not getting bitter ones these days. And it’s disappointing.
