What did you like as a kid that you later revisited as an adult and hated?

I am sure Taco Bell has changed the flavor profile.

Breyers ice cream is still all natural. That did not change. See the label.

Beef Stoganoff was a staple as a little kid. By middle school, I couldn't stomach it at all.

Not as a kid, but all the alcohol I drank in college: amaretto sours, slow gin fizzers, wine coolers, and our favorite "classy" date night drink, sweet red wine.

All swill.

Agree but I still like ketchup (how can I not put it on hot dogs and burgers?!) and fast food.

I honestly don’t know. Seems like their meat used to be way better, but then I came from a super restrictive household and it was like manna from heaven. I’ve since gotten used to good food, incl homemade.

Any kind of convenience pasta. Like the bagged frozen shrimp scampi with veg, etc. At this point, I’d prefer to eat it at a restaurant or make it from scratch or not have it at all

I know a senior citizen who enjoys attending funerals where he only goes to support someone (not because he’s necessarily grieving himself) because it’s the only place he can get a deviled ham sandwich.
