Kids have demented taste buds

As you may know, I need to eat at regular intervals throughout the day. Like every two hours, otherwise I metamorphisize into a hideous, teeth-gnashing bitch. Lately at work-- instead of hitting the vending machine downstairs when my home-packed items run out-- I've been hitting up the campus bookstore for New Mid-afternoon Snack Ideas. I decided to try string cheese today, something I ate in adundance in my toddler years but that I didn't even realize was still made. I ate it, and it was pretty whack, I gotta say: flavorless and way too small. Which led me to ponder, what other foods did I like 15-20 years ago that I can't stand any longer?

1. Liverwurst - was I the only 5-year-old who ate this crap spread on white bread? White bread, there's another one!
2. Green olives in a jar - I sucked the pimentos out and gave them to my mom, but I ate the rest.
3. Grape juice - I gag just thinking about this stuff. But maybe that's because I barfed it up one time when I had the flu.
4. Cheez-its - Those little orange crackers that give you stink breath.
5. Slim Jims - Here's a more recent lapse. I proclaimed these skinny beef?sticks "my favorite food" when I was 15. Yeah, gotta love that teenaged metabolism.

I'd say my taste buds (and internal organs) have it much better these days, given I didn't eat fish or mushrooms or spinach or anything close to tofu back then.
