Tbh, this is quite the interesting one for Picky Eater-type character, just because we saw that he still wanna try other foods, it's just that many things overwhelm him, either in terms of flavour or smell
The fact that he still tried to eat the stuff he's picky about(the mint candy) and being overwhelmed by them instead of "oh, food is good" from just 1 bite of stuff he's picky about is a lot more interesting take for these sort of character
