Being a supertaster fucking sucks. Yes, you can enjoy things you like a whole lot more, but you hate things you dislike that much more, too. You know when you eat something and go, "Yuck, I don't really like this but I'll get through it"? Well, say good-bye to that and hello to literally gagging and vomiting because of how amplified the bad taste is. I would give anything to kill my sense of taste and be like a normal person that's actually capable of middling responses to taste instead of everything being 10/10 delicious or -10/10 vomit-inducing with almost nothing in between.

Supertaster is a bit of a misnomer. There's no sciencetific evidence that supertasters have a stronger overall sense of taste (despite the name), though there is evidence that they are far more sensitive to bitter flavors, and generally have an affinity for sweets. It doesn't mean they are any better at picking out individual flavor compounds (i.e. spices, individual ngredients, etc.).

I'm a supertaster. I can't stand coffee, bitter melon, IPAs, most brassicas, etc, etc. My sense of taste otherwise is pretty good. I'd venture to say above average, but well within a standard deviation. Certainly not better than some non supertaster wine sommeliers, chefs, etc.

as a super taster myself its really not a big deal
professional sommeliers, critics, cooks, even professional tasters are rarely super tasters
i'd prefer not to have it, and be able to prepare food on properly cleaned surfaces without tasting the tiny hint of bleach left on the worktop or bowl.
I don't eat the (incredible) ice cream from a local dairy because I can taste the bleach they use to sterilise everything. I complained about it before and got treated like I was making it up because I wanted free shit. "I can't taste it. Nobody else can taste it" etc. Yeah well I can and I don't want to eat bleach flavour ice cream.
