I’ve just learnt that today is the I Hate Coriander Day.

International I Hate Coriander Day originated in 2013, with the inception of a Facebook group entitled simply ‘I Hate Coriander.’ The sole purpose of creating the group was so that like-minded people could get together and express their utter disdain for the herb through messages and posts of all sorts. And before you laugh it off as an insignificant group, note that the number of members on it has risen to a following of more than 200,000. Such was the popularity of the group that there is even ‘I Hate Coriander’ merchandise being sold on the group. It also just goes to show that if you’re enterprising enough, money can be made from any endeavor on social media which attracts enough people.

Personally, I’m a huge coriander hater so I’m glad that today is THE day. What do you think about it? Do you share the same feelings as me? 

Btw did you know that coriander seeds were used in burials?
Romans buried their dead with coriander seeds to help disguise the smell of decay.
