Why does this strawberry taste like nail polish remover?
I recently bought a container of Driscoll's strawberries from Target, and when I cut into them and tasted one, it had a flavor reminiscent of nail polish remover. To confirm my experience, I asked my mom to try one without mentioning my impression first. She immediately spat it out and said it tasted like nail polish remover as well, so I know it wasn't just me. Can anyone explain why these strawberries taste like this and whether they are safe to eat? Thank you for your help!

The pesticides or fertilizer used is a leftover. Even if you wash them, the flavor is already absorbed. Ideally strawberries can be one of the highest carriers of residual pesticides. If possible, but organic or use a different brand.
