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.

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.

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.

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.

Peanut butter sammiches. I used to eat sometimes 2 or 3 a DAY folks! I kept eating them until I was in my early 20's. I made one, one day, and took a bite, and spit it out....never have had another one.

I am THE pickiest eater on the planet. Ask anyone that knows me.

I know that's another thread, but I bet I have you beat. My parents couldn't get me to eat anything when I was a baby, and the habit just continued. I don't like enough vegetables and I really hate lettuce. I don't like to eat meat either, especially red meat. Yuck! If only all bread products were good for us.

I used to love that, too! I had some a few weeks ago and I was like Am I drinking sugar???
I feel the same way about chocolate milk to a degree, too. A lot of things like that I used to want constantly but they've become either disgusting or something reserved for a special treat.

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.

OMG. I used to love those. I must've had so much sugar water when I was a kid, under the guises of different name brands and pretty colors. I don't think I'd be able to take more than a sip of one of those now.

I don't really eat any vegetables or fruit. I do eat red meat, but don't like big thick hamburgers, very little meat. No steak for me either, I prefer chicken or fish. I do like bananas and oranges, but RARELY eat them. Hate apples, tried putting peanut butter on an apple once....made me gag. I love potatoes, corn and fried squash. Everything I eat is bad for me. LOL I could eat french fries every single day.

Bologna...yuck! Mayo...yuck! White bread...yuck! Pork chops...yuck! Eggs...yuck!

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

You remind me so much of myself!

I don't like a lot of the things you mentioned that you don't like, though I'm a huge fan of apples and white bread. Mayo I can take in very, very small quantities. Basically when I get finished removing it it may as well not be there.

I can't do fried squash. Honestly, I have cereal, some chips, an apple, a banana, bottled water, perhaps some form of cheese (I LOVE cheese) and maybe some yogurt every day!

Yeah, that's my idea of eating healthy. Every once in awhile I like to have some green peas or black-eyed peas. It's so hard for me to order at a restaurant because I pick so many things off my food. Lately I've been obsessed with going to Mexican restaurants, but just to eat the chips and salsa and get two cheese enchiladas. Nutritious meal, there.

We should go out and eat together one day and marvel at how many things on the menu we don't like.
