food/drink you liked as a child/teenager that you don't like now
 

I've been noticing lately how many food items and beverages look somewhat or extremely sickening to me at this point, yet I used to love them. It seems that something either has too much sugar or is just too greasy. Has anyone else been through this?

I used to love-
fruit roll-ups
fruit by the foot
fruit gushers
pixie sticks
mondos
squeeze-its
kool aid kool bursts
skittles
capri sun
Hi-C

but I pretty much can't eat any of those any longer because they're just too sugary. I guess most of them are for kids, anyway. :laugh:

I also don't like the thought of ordering pizza anymore. I used to get all excited about it but when I think about the grease on the box I just feel sick. Not worth the feeling of the roof of my mouth having caked on grease. http://img124.echo.cx/img124/8881/yucksmiley7op.gif

Fudge filled with chocolate. One day I ate so much I nearly vomited, so there you go.

Hmm. Well, I don't eat any deep fried food anymore - but I guess that's more for health reasons. Fries, chips, doughnuts, etc. I don't think there'd ever actually be a day when I didn't LOVE doughnuts. :laugh: I just don't eat them anymore.

But I'm with you on the fruit roll ups thing. What were we thinking?? Too sugary, too sticky on the teeth. Ew.

Um.... I don't think I can come up with anything else. Any foods I hate now, I've basically hated forever.

Hmm..
 

Strawberry milk. Think Quik rabbit.

When I was little, Little Huggie drinks (colored sugar water in plastic barrel-shaped containers) Barf.

Also salami/cheese/mayo/mustard sandwiches. That was my thing until I was around 12. My brother was the bologna kid, I liked salami. Not so much a fan anymore.

Bacon Double Cheeseburger w/ fries from Burger King - I swear I ate one every day for lunch in junior & senior year of high school (I had lunch right before I drove to my nursing classes, so we always went out.) The thought of that makes me want to vomit now. :o

Hillary...
 

These days you couldn't get me to touch milk.

Hi C and Capri Sun--absolutely disgusting.

I could never get the straw through the hole in that damn bag. :mad:

Never really drank either of them. My parents fed us on soda. real healthy. :rolleyes:

BTW, I've never had Tang except during Sr. Week when it was mixed with vodka to produce Vang. V is for vile.

- Jake

Lmao!
 

Talk about the most assinine thing to give elementary school aged children--you never could puncture it--EVER. And when you did? The entire contents of the bag would fly out of the straw and onto your clothes.

My mom instated a no sugar policy the first few years of my life. I used to go to my aunts house and she'd feed me cookies :laugh:

I don't believe i've ever had Tang either. Speaking of drinks mixed with alcohol, i've never had Red Bull either.

Never had it.

- Jake

I remember taking Greyhound from Chicago to Minneapolis one Thanksgiving & being horrified that at stops mothers were putting jolt in baby bottles for young children & then scolding them for not being quiet on the bus. :shocked:

- Jake

Just had my first taste of Red Bull last night - of course it was mixed with Southern Comfort so I can't really tell ya what it tastes like :p

Anyway foods I used to like:

Potted Meat :eek: Ewww. Just eww.
Pineapple (the thought makes me gag)
Tang
Spoonfuls of sugar - I'd just eat spoonfuls of sugar :laugh:
skittles

I still love those. :o I rarely buy them though.


Things I used to like as a kid:

Watermelon
Tootsie Rolls
Spaghetti O's
McDonald's -My mom would never let us go there, so when I went with my friends I thought it was so cool. :rolleyes:

Well, I am still a teenager but I can't eat spiced Pecans anymore. You know the kind you can get at the fair or flea market that are hot and sugar coated? I used to love them but I ate a whole box while I had the worst cold of my life one week so now whenever I see them I think of that horrible cold I had!

My little brother was a horribly picky eater when he was little (less so now). He wouldn't eat any fruit or vegetables. He was notoriously constipated as a child, and our mom tried to get him to drink orange flavored Metamucil, to no avail. :distress:

You really do need to eat fruit and vegetables...for roughage, and all that. :nod:

When I was little, I used to love Vienna sausage. Now, it makes me puke.

Lol
 

Breakfast cereals like Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Cap'n Crunch, etc.

Bologna (I don't dislike it now, I just avoid it)

Everything else I liked then I still like, only I like more now.

Have you had those honey tangerines from California? They look like tangerines but they taste like the NECTAR OF THE GODS!! It's like honey!

I guess it's possible to eat too much fruit in one day -- I mean, it's possible to drink too much water, too. Remember the girl in the nightclub who died?

But there's no way that a banana, an apple & a fruit/walnut salad constitute "too much fruit." You ain't even close to too much fruit.

I mean, we're talking maybe FOURTEEN watermelons, three bunches of bananas, twenty-five navel oranges, sixteen papayas, thirty cups of blueberries, etc. THAT would be too much for most people.
