The gross food thread got me thinking of this. For me raw hot dogs or just a straight up piece of bolonga. Not any more. Hot dogs must be cooked and bologna on bread with at least ketchup and mustard, or better yet fry that shit!! I am sure I'll think of more later but this was in my head, how about you?

Edit to add another - Plain vanilla ice cream, now its just bland and boring.

I'm told by my parents that I absolutely loved rice. I can't stand it, now.

Not a food, but my great grandmother used to always make this punch that used a syrup concentrate....grape flavor. Anyhow, when i was a kid I could hammer a whole quart of that in about a minute...greatest stuff ever. About 5 years ago, I bought some and tried it.....not sure what the hell I was thinking as a child.

My neighbor used to do this all the time. He also used to eat butter with a spoon.

Kraft Macaroni-N-Cheese.

Not that I hate it now, I just appreciate the homemade kind much more. When I was a kid it was the other way around.

Taco Bell
I will go hungry rather than eat it now.

I still eat some fast food but it's not like it was as a kid. Much rather find some home cooking or a good deli.

As a kid, I got sick after eating Bugles and on another occasion, buttermints. Not so hot on those now.

The crab sticks that come about six to a package. I realized recently that it was just imitation crab. It still tastes pretty good in sushi, but I cannot eat it straight up anymore.

Since the thread title got changed to drinks, about 15 years ago I sampled a new product called Mint Colt .45. Nasty. It was not on the market long.

I actually liked it untill about 5 - 6 yrs ago. We had this spam cookoff in the office, to see who could make the wackiest dishes from spam. After sitting in a spam filled office for 10 hours it made me sick and now I can't even stomach the smell let alone the taste.

Used to love Jello and eat it all the time. Now I only do jello shots and that's sparingly
