Tastes change over time, and honestly, that’s a good thing.
I’m relieved to believe that one day, my children will voluntarily eat something that’s not macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, or pizza for one thing, but for another, experience should teach us a thing or two, don’t you think?
If you want to ponder how and when our tastes change over the course of our lives, these 16 people are recalling things they just loved as a kid that now they cannot stand.
16. It’s not a good time.
Being sick.
When I was a kid it meant staying home from school and watching price is right in the AM and TRL all afternoon.
As an adult it means no paycheck and Shame
15. Nobody sends cards anymore.
Getting mail
As a kid it was exciting cos it would only happen around Christmas and my birthday but now it’s just bills.
14. And your kids do not get it.
Spinning. As a kid I would basically t-pose and spin in place for fun. I’d get dizzy for a few seconds and then I’d be back to normal.
Now, if I did that, I’d feel nauseous for the rest of the day, would probably have to lie down for a few hours.
13. It’s still better than the alternative.
Growing up. Couldn’t wait to grow up when I was a kid, but dread getting older now.
One year into adulthood and all I can think of is f*ck go back.
12. It’s really kind of sad.
Teenagers.
When I was a kid teenagers were so cool. Now they’re the most obnoxious people in the world.
11. It’s not so fun.
The thought of having a job.
Man, makes me so depressed.
Before I thought it would be fun and cool to have money. Now I’ve gone a year deep and when my supervisor goes to cry in his car over the stress of the job I honestly relate.
10. We just want to go home.
Spending the night at someone else’s house.
I looove sleeping in my own bed and using my own pillows.
Sucks when you wake up before anyone else and you just stare at the ceiling until the rest wakes up too.
9. This is truly a sad state of affairs.
Carnival rides. Used to love em as a kid. Now I can’t get on the tilt-a-whirl without getting super sick.
Man, I used to LOVE the Scrambler at fairs – Went on one a few years ago, and my fn neck just hurt for days lol. G-forces tryna yank my lollipop head right off!
Kind of a depressing “I’m-getting-old” moment for me
8. Too soon?
Bill Cosby.
7. Too much of a good thing…
Yoplait whipped keylime yogurt. It was the only yogurt I would eat and I ate a lot of it. Now thinking about the taste makes me sick.
6. I miss my old digestive tract.
Fast food. Used to love it because my parents only allowed me to have it when we were on vacation so it was like a treat for me. As an adult their home cooked food is the treat now.
5. Sometimes you just know too much.
Swimming in public pools.
I never understood why people sh%t in the pool. If it’s a young kid I understand, but some of the shits are bear size.
4. When you had everything in common.
Making new friends, so much easier when you are still a kid.
Also, sustaining friendships when all your friends are married, have kids, in Serious relationships, demanding careers/jobs, or are simply too busy. Seems everybody is so busy we start to forget to connect, even if it’s just for a cup of coffee, hell, I gotta ask people at least a week ahead of time to hang out, sometimes more.
I also miss the days of hanging out on a whim, like when I was in my teenager/early 20’s.
3. We all understand now.
Honestly as a kid I was so judgmental of all the moms who’d bring their kids to the pool and wear bathing suits but never get in.
Was all like “I’ll never be like that.” Now I’m starting to understand lol
2. This new generation will never talk on the phone.
Talking on the phone. Used to stay on the phone for hours at a time three-way calling with friends. Now the idea of my phone ringing makes me want to puke.
1. Definitely a curse.
Emails. I was in college when I got an email address – was super excited to get an email.
Now, I hate getting them because it’s either a stupid meeting or something I have to do/address at work.
I think I could make a pretty long list here that is nothing but food!
What’s something you couldn’t imagine hating when you were younger? Dish in the comments!
