  1. Genetically we are different. We do not all have the same number of taste buds or concentration of taste buds, so something that tastes just sweet enough for one person might taste too sweet or not sweet at all for another person. Some people have tolerances for spicy foods and enjoy the flavor of spicy peppers, some people think it's all just really hot and burning their mouth and don't find any flavor there at all. Some people can't taste certain things at all (like that meme about people thinking Cilantro tastes like soap).

  2. We have different upbringings and exposures to different things. Your neighbor might really enjoy pancakes and syrup because it was a rare treat that brings back fond childhood memories. You might hate it because you ate Eggos every day growing up and you got burned out on it.

Ok thanks, I sometimes think of something that I want an answer to, then I see an answer this simple and I wonder how I didn’t think of it myself

Honestly that never stops happening. More important to be asking in the first place. :-)
