      I mean wouldn’t that also apply to everyone who thinks they taste better? And why would they have only started trying to make them taste good recently?

      • If you’ve been eating broccoli throughout the whole selective breeding process, then the flavor change would have been subtle enough that you don’t realize there’s been a change at all. If you ate them side by side, the difference would be noticeable.

        It’s not too different from Jim adding nickels to Dwight’s phone, then suddenly removing them.
