Mine did too. My dad wanted that stuff. He was the only one who ate it.

As an adult, my SIL told her mom that I was a vegetarian when she invited me
to dinner. She put out sooo much stuff for me, I couldn't believe it.
There were sweet potatoes in chunks. To be polite, I took a small one. I
actually liked it! I asked her how she made it? She showed me the can.
Said she just opened it and heated it.

When we got home, I bought some of the same brand and tried them. Didn't
like them. Have tried the ones from the produce department. Didn't like
them.

Angela thought she liked them because she likes them as fries. Wendy's now
offers a sweet potato on their menu. It comes with a butter/brown sugar mix
but I asked for that to be left off and plain butter instead. It wasn't
real butter. Some kind of margarine or blend. Angela didn't like it. Said
it was too sweet.

I don't really mind them so much as fries. I would never buy them for
myself or order them in a restaurant but I can eat one and not spit it out.
