The La Croix person clearly has some growing up to do, just tell em you're burnt out on it. Easy peasy.

For the peanut allergy person I would go get an allergy test and when it comes up negative say that it must have been something he learned as a kid and kept with him. As a kid I always thought meatloaf was this horrid bottom of the barrel food but in my 30s my wife convinced me to cook it for dinner one night. It was so good I can't believe I had thought it was bad.

The sparkling water guy has an easy out: "I dunno, I drank 8 glasses yesterday and all of a sudden... my body just went, 'never again'... and since then, it has all tasted horrible... I guess I was drinking too much of it"

La Croix story: Just wait until they discontinue a flavor and rant to anyone who asks why you're not drinking it anymore about they ruined everything by discontinuing your favorite flavor.
