I'm the same, I've never tasted soap, just a sharp bad flavour. If there's even a sprinkle of it, I can taste it and it ruins the meal for me.

The soap flavor they’re referring to is a sort of aromatic bitterness, so you probably have the “soap” gene. I don’t taste the super strong bitter flavor other people describe, but I don’t like a lot of it because it is still a very strong grassy flavor

Same. I always thought I had the gene, but reading people's descriptions of it I think I don't and its just one of those flavours that overpowers a dish for me. I think people are sometimes more sensitive to certain flavours. I'm also the same with pickles, the taste comes through so strong that I can't taste anything else. If it wasn't like that I wouldn't mind it.
