But in the venn diagram where do I put the people who don't like certain flavor?

Example: those who dislike Vanilla will be entirely outside the Vanilla circle, but this totality will be broken up into various sub-areas, e.g. like Choc & Straw but not Straw, like Choc but neither Van nor Straw, etc.  In general, work from innermost regions outwardly.
