I remembered a cartoon from when I was little that had a monter-lima bean. So whenever my mom made mixed veggies containing lima beans, i would smash them- thinking I was doing the world a great favor, being their hero for killing the monster lima-beans. Once I got the courage to taste one I figured they tasted so horrible because they were alive!!
