Sounds like you're using WAY too much detergent or washing them concave side up

Then you should switch detergent or get a better dishwasher.

Cascade Complete and multiple higher end Bosch, Whirlpool, and Samsung. I dunno. I taste it on other people’s plastic food ware too. You can even smell it when people at work microwave their lunches in plastic that’s been through the dishwasher. I don’t think it’s just me.

I think you are imagining this. You don't even know that other people use a dishwasher.

I haven't used cascade in years but my sister did, and I never noticed anything.

I use Finish tabs.

Your not noticing something doesn't invalidate other people noticing them. Maybe their area has different hardness of water than yours does. Maybe they're a supertaster and you're not. Maybe they have pregnancy nose. If they can smell the dishwasher detergent on the microwaved plastic, they'd be able to know that plastic's been heated up with dishwasher detergent.

It seems pretty extreme to jump to saying they're imagining a phenomena you haven't noticed.

If you have an HE dishwasher, cut the amount of detergent you use in half. Something is not getting rinsed properly.
