Joke's on you, I always forget the plot to Les Miserables within 5 minutes of re-learning it.
I don't exactly forget the plot after 5 minutes, I just misremember it as being about the French Revolution.

If people didn't like it, it wouldn't be manufactured and sold.
Right, it's just rose flavoring is one of those flavors (like lavender) that if overdone tastes like soap. I'd wager that most people who tried it and disliked it it was because it had too much.
Some people just don't like floral flavors. If your only experience with flowers is soap and perfume then of course that's the association you'll have. Me, I love em. Rose, violet, nasturtium, hibiscus, elderflower, orange blossom, lavender, I even eat dandelion heads from the yard.
That has nothing to do with whether or not it is a horrible thing or not. Look how many McDonald's burgers are made.
Real Turkish delight from a good shop or restaurant in Istanbul is amazing. Evem some good authentic Turkish restaurants in the US can prepare it properly. I'm guessing the Narnia level magic shit was pretty damn amazing. The stuff you buy in boxes in some gift shop in the US probably shouldn't even be considered edible.

one piece of bubble yum would've made that child's head explode
I'm convinced that the difference between good Turkish delight and a bad one must be a hell of a gulf. Aside from the Cadbury stuff I've only had really good Turkish delight, and it's a nice light treat. The mrs hadn't had the good stuff before, and swore she hated it before she tried it.
the Cadbury stuff
I'd say that's more "inspired by" and not actual turkish delight
Source: I'm turkish, and sometimes a delight. Usually not.

There was a Turkish Bakery I used to go to and let me say I understand Edmund 100%.

Understanding the plot of Les Miserables with or without the tangents?
Or are we talking the musical where one of literature's nastiest villains gets the funny comic relief song.
