Food that Tasted Great as a Child, but Can't Stand Now (or Vice-Versa)

I used to like meatloaf but the taste isn't good nowadays.
I used to eat seafood sometimes as a kid, but I now just cant stand eating it at all. I also used to hate pickles, but now I just love them... especially fried pickles.
I used to put ketchup on hot dogs, I'm a different man now.
I don't like ketchup anymore, I have literally substituted mustard and BBQ sauce for anything ketchup would be used for. I put mustard on my fries.
Oh, and as a kid I fucking hated Whoppers, but now I can't get enough of those things, they are great~
[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;43980551]I used to like Dr. Pepper, but now it tastes syruppy and gross. I don't know how I used to do it.[/QUOTE]
Depending on how old you are, that's pretty normal. When I was a kid, regular sodas were sweetened with sugar, and diet sodas were sweetened with Nutra Sweet. In the late 80's/early 90's, sugar was replaced with high fructose corn syrup, and Nutra Sweet with other artificial sweeteners. It drastically changed the taste and consistency of soda in general.
The Dr. Pepper plant in Dublin, Texas is the only US pant to still use sugar in Dr. Pepper, and their stuff is pretty amazing. You can also sometimes find sodas in Mexican and Asian grocery stores bottled in out of country bottling plants with cane sugar. Once in a while, Dr. Pepper also releases "Heritage Dr. Pepper," which is their sugar-sweetened answer to Pepsi Throwback.
Then again, if you're under 30, that might not be it. Your tastes probably changed with age.
Fish sticks. After eating them repeatedly while being homeschooled for the 4th grade, I can't even [I]look[/I] at them. -shudder-
Candy, I still like the taste of it, it just upsets my stomach and makes my teeth feel gross.
Cucumber.
One day, I went through a total of 30 cucumbers, just pulled one out of the fridge, washed it, peeled it and chowed down.
Now, I've stopped. Don't know why.
I used to hate bananas, but now I eat one almost everyday
Liver casserole and sausages were great. Now I almost can't stand them.

I used to love whoppers, but then I got one bad one that was like, rotten inside or something, it tasted horrible and the malted inside was like, not there, only kind of in a thin layer stuck to the shell, and it completely put me off them forever, I'm actually feeling a little ill just writing this.
I didn't like buckwheat as a kid, now I'll eat it when I'm hungry
Potato salad started tasting like shit
I didn't like seafood before, now I like salmon and many kinds of sushi
I dislike cereal, because I gain weight too easily from it
I stopped buying energy drinks, I could feel myself going stupid from it

Reminds me of this time I found this strange, milky, sugar-ball in my bowl of Raisin Bran. Went from being the best bowl of Raisin Bran I've ever had to being my last.

Lol I loved those fuckers as a kid in elementary school, and I still like 'em. I remember I would always have a giant thing of ketchup on my tray and press the faces down on it to make it look like blood was shooting out of their eyes and mouth, everyone got a kick out of that.
Ketchup on everything, now I only use it with macaroni with no other condiments or spices
I used to love Starbursts

till I ate an entire family bag of them and puked a rainbow
When I was younger I absolutely adored peas, now I can't stand the sight of them, they just seem so mushy and disgusting
I used to love eating Cheez-It's when I was younger. Now the thought of eating them makes me want to drive a knife through my eyes.
I used to like Cheetos and frozen chicken patties, neither of which i can very well stand anymore (unless the Cheetos are dipped in apple sauce or the sandwich generously decorated)
On the up side, I now like tomatoes and cheeseburgers

Also this, they start tasting like not-cheese. I had to start eating Cheese Nips
Used to love beetroots, pickled onions and crisps.
I now hate all three with a burning passion.
I used to hate steak, curry, pasta and vegetables.
I love all four now.
Applesauce.
I used to love it, then I used applesauce to down sixty gelcaps of cough syrup. God damn, that was so awful, I'm traumatized for life. Was fun tho
i used to love eating oranges, but now the thought eating them makes me want to hurl all over the nearest person.
I use to have McDonalds at least once a week when I was a kid.
Now when I got there once every few months, I feel like I ate poison and I want to vomit.

I was the same way :v: it just doesn't seem at all appetizing anymore.
Ritz Snackwiches and mountain dew. Now, not so much. Also, looking at the nutritional information now made me realize that i had something along the lines of an inhuman metabolism as a kid.

I still like their chicken nuggets, but I wonder if they changed the recipes for the things I used to eat or if my tastes just changed
