I've had the same experience here. I picked up a celery stick at the Olive Garden and took a bite. It tasted like it had been sweetened with sugar, it was so very sweet! I was shocked and suspected, since it was a restaurant they put the celery in a sugar solution. So I handed it to my husband and asked him to taste it and tell me if it tasted super sweet. He said it was just plain, bland!!!, celery.

Amazing huh??
