Yeah, I think people forget what grocery stores used to be like. Especially in a small town.
Likewise haven't seen it since childhood, I always assumed it was an old-school poor people thing rather than a deliberate decision.

Same. It's a lot to do with texture and smell. Like, onion rings are awesome. But just cooking onions down and incorporating into a meal? Yeah no thank you. Replacing the onions in that same meal with onion powder and some garlic? Works for me. Taste is so weird.

LOL, onion is like THE aromatic thats in pretty much 90% savory dish ever contrived. In pretty much all cultures too. You guys are a bunch of weirdos with your 10 yr old hate of onions.
Shit the worst, I remember my mom giving me some onion syrup back in Poland when I was a kid, it was supposed to be a cough medicine. It was literally onions macerated in sugar. Talk about nasty shit, I still have nightmares.

Or that one time some dude bet me to bite into a raw onion like an apple back when I was a teen working for A&W. So I bit into it, swallowed but my mouth was fucked with onion taste for the enitire day. Then you got the onion burps on top of it. Ugggh. Not worth the $20 I scored.
But that onion syrup was fucking nasty. I bet they could use that as a torture device, for reals.

Onion Cough Syrup is a simple home remedy using only two common ingredients, with no cooking! It’s been used for hundreds of years by children and adults. Simply layer a sliced onion and sugar, and wait for it to turn into syrup. I’ll walk you through it step by step!

I agree with this. You have to be eating onions all the time without knowing it if you actually eat out. It's got to be a psychological remnant of childhood because it just doesn't make sense otherwise.

It's texture for me. I've forced myself to eat onions in meals and it's like some mental block

I always wonder if the limited amount of foods my mom could cook attributed to my shitty palate (not counting my faggot super tasting)

I think I mentioned here before, my dad didn't cook well. Like, people were joking here about boiling hot dogs, that's how he cooked hot dogs my entire childhood. I never ate a fresh vegetable, ever, he only used canned shit so I hated virtually all vegetables because of that. Not knocking him, whatever, single dads got it rough and he worked a lot etc, and also I think it was how he was raised. After leaving home I started eating other stuff and learned to cook and mostly got over all that, except the onion thing.

i've never had the crying onion issue.
i love halving onions
i love slicing them thin, theres this almost (in a gay kind of way) "zen" like sound you hear and you can feel through your blade when you slice through 9 layers of onion and break all those cell walls...
and then that moment when you're carmalizing onions and the pungent odor turns sweet...
otherwise i hate onions, fuck that and i go through 2lbs of onions a week (just buy that easy 2lb bag) with soups and stock and whatever.
