Same here; I really dislike the taste of cherries. Some cherry-flavoured stuff is okay, but that's because they only bare a passing resemblance to the fruit itself.

I suppose another one would be Banannas. Again, I found they tasted fowl. However, I have not tried since I was a little kid because the last time I did I had a rather massive and uncomfortable allergic reaction to even a tiny bit of the damn things (I didn't even swallow the fruit! I spat it out!) that lasted for a number of weeks, if I remember correctly.

Anything that involves the word Hershey's. I seriously don't know how americans eat that and think it is not only chocolate but good, cause it's neither. It smells like vomit and doesn't taste much better. Try some chocolate from anywhere in Europe.

Chocolate Muffins. Always look amazing, but you get one and they are dry, and either taste of nothing at all, or that strange chocolate flavouring that has never actually seen chocolate before in it's life.
You need to get some decent muffins...

This apple scented shampoo we used to have. God, that thing smelled great...

De-icer. That bright blue fluid just calls to me. It looks like a mana-potion. I MUST HAVE IT.

...Unfortunately, it is poisonous and so i cannot.

Just one more reason to go to Yahtzee's mana bar - those blue cocktails look amazing. Blue is my favourite colour, and i've always struggled to find any food or drink that's proper blue! Powerade is the closest i've got to delicious flourescent mana-colour blue.
Blue curacao. Blue + alcohol = Win

OT: Snapper, it looks great cooked and smells fantastic but taste good? no.

How do you not like cherries? Have you tried black cherries? They're delicious!
Depends on the type. I have a Montmorency cherry tree in my front yard, and they are incredibly sour. Absolutely beautiful color though.

Sour cherries would be awesome. I should look into getting some.

Blood is actually quite tasty, but mostly women's, since it's less metallic...

Also, most of the food you see in photography that looks really good is actually inedible.

Can't think of one but on the reverse side:

When I went to Athens I was determined to try octopus. It looked odd eating a tentacle but was actually really nice :D
Same with cuttlefish, squid, escargot, scallops...

I always want to eat soap. And any lip-product and moisturiser. It's so irritating that a lot of make-up resembles food, but tastes horrible. I've been fooled many times.

I don't know where I heard this, but apparently the way they get that nice steaming wisp of...smoke, I don't know, is to microwave a wet tampon for a few seconds and put it underneath. I can never look at magazine steak in the same way again.

Chapstick. It usually smells/tastes good with pretty colors and you're supposed to put it on your mouth but you're not supposed to actually go all the way and eat it. Thankfully someone else knew my frustration and created this:
