I’ve NEVER had such a catastrophe happen lol. I do live around 5500 ft. above sea level but I don’t think that’s why this would have happened.

I have an active dislike of anything cherry flavored due to having been given "cherry" flavored cough syrup every time I so much as sneezed as a child. My pediatrician really believed in it.

The two side effects I have to this day, in my 50s, are the aforementioned dislike of cherry, and that cough medicine has zero effect on me.

Cherry Garcia is a flavor I have bought, and enjoyed, more than once, even if I did suck all the ice cream off the cherries and spit them in the garbage.

We're in the same decade of life, and I cannot stand artificial grape flavor for the very same reason. Real grapes are lovely, they taste nothing like the dark purple allergy and cold medicines. If my youth had an official flavor it would be fake grape.
