I'm serious is "sweet" a real thing? Everybody acts like it's odd that I don't like cakes or putting frosting on pies but I really don't get why people insist on putting frosting on everything or drowning every flavor in bland sugar. Like I'd prefer to actually taste my food please?

I get why you'd add it to coffee or cocoa (to make it less bitter) and honey has a nice taste to it but why do people eat frosting at all? It's just paste, it's only paste, why do people just add flavorless paste to their food? What does it add?

Also soda is just bad carbonated kombucha but everyone acts like kombucha isn't just a straight upgrade from regular soda, I guess because it actually tastes like what the can says it turns them off?

After living my life wondering why people will actually seek out frosting on their food willingly I decided to ask why? Please tell me if I'm just missing something because I really don't get the appeal.

Milkshakes also make sense but they're milky with different flavors like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry but I don't see where this mystical "sweet" is, only that some have more flavor and others people say are "sweet" that are actually just bland

Sorry if that's a rant I just don't understand people when they say "sweet" do you mean bland? Or am I missing something obvious?
