Anything that's too anything isn't good tbh. (Unless you're challenging yourself with extra spice and extra sourness for the hell of it, then ok!! But normal food?)
As mentioned in the reply above, it's all about balance.
But then again, we don't all experience or like our food the same. Baka nga "too sweet" for me is good naman pala for you. Eh di okay. More for you Haha

: I personally have experienced food that was too sweet. I like sweets, pero sa sobrang sweet hindi na siya masaya! Bigay ko na lang sayo next time, if maulit ulit ha?
I feel like it's because the western idea of dessert is more prominent, and many western desserts are hella sweet (but also i'm saying this with only my experience to back it up, and i'm sure that's lacking).

: I saw someone mention Krispy Kreme!! So kinda that for me. I can take like, half a donut. One is too much for me. Bilis ko maumay. Haha. I also do not like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but idk if that's because it's too sweet or di ko lang trip yung flavor(s).
oh boy if y'all think Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Krispy Kreme Original Donuts are too sweet, may mas tatamis pa diyan dito sa US! They really love overloading the sugar here which is why diabetes is huge.
Pusa-Cat!
: I feel like the "too sweet" thing is also a cultural thing! A lot of the super sweet products I've encountered were American nga, now that I think about it.
Tapos mga Japanese desserts and the more traditional Filipino desserts aren't super sweet, if at all.
it's related to the PH sugar trade industry collapse in the 1970s, kasi that was the time the US really began upping the demand for cane sugar. Di sila nagsawa. I personally don't like it so much. I go to the next city to visit an Asian baker for my dessert fix kasi maski dark chocolates rito super tamis pa rin.
as a lover of sweets, gusto ko kasi kumain ng madami and may umay factor if it's too sweet. also true na too sweet a lot of us dessert like Krispy kreme.
trip ko rin yung may added salty or sour. if too sweet, tamis lng malalasahan ko.
I wonder if age and/or experience is a factor too. Dati kasi pinapapapak ko yung Tang. Lalamon ako ng chocolate, candy. MAJOR sweet tooth. But the older I got, the less I felt drawn to sugar and was more after a balance of flavors. ARTE HAHAHHA
I wonder how much of that is physiology like tastebuds changing? or if it's just preferences changing over time

: yes, age. Malakas din ako sa sweets (pinapak ko din lahat ng powdered things, kulang na lang straight sugar papakin ko 😂) but later leaned more towards the darker chocolates and less of the hard candies and gums. Tim's coffee didn't impress me either pero baka di ko lang gets yung options nila? I didn't bother to find out more.

: Naaalala ko pa up until my 20s I'd buy a ton of candy from Candy Corner tapos deliks na sakin yun. Nauubos in one sitting. Or two if I got distracted.
I do still like candy on occasion (gummi candiesssss. yum.) pero hindi na kaya ng major binge. Literal sumasakit ulo ko if I eat too much of that processed sugar.
Honestly, I never understood it.
Like I would comment if a dessert is bland AF but when is a dessert “too sweet”? And why is it bad? Like, taste-wise?
Curious.
