Yep, the last holdout for me was McD's soft serve, but then that
news came out about them not cleaning the machines, so not even
that anymore.
I also agree on the GS cookies, in fact, any commercially
produced cookies are just "blah" to me now. I might eat one but
I'm not buying them. I'll also give a cash donation to the GS
instead of buying cookies.

Definitely Girl Scout cookies. You know, I thought they taste
different now, too. But, their price has risen so much that they
are not worth it to me.
I still eat fast food burgers every so often, but, hardly ever
McDonalds.
I also find I no longer like shark (thresher, which I understand
is sustainable) and I'm a little allergic to eggplant.
I do find, though, that there's a lot of stuff that I buy
regularly for a while, then get tired of and stop buying.
Sometimes I will want them again after some time, sometimes not
so much.

Strawberries. My mom grew a *lot* of strawberries when I was a
kid. I don't dislike them now, but maybe have them once a year.
Oreos and other store-bought cookies. Maybe it's the lack of
saturated fat or something, they just don't taste as good as
when I was a kid.

I rarely eat them either, for the-same-but-opposite reason: my
mother also grew a lot of them, so when I feel a desire for
strawberries, it’s perfectly-ripe, just-picked ones like Mum’s
that I want. Every time I give in to the urge for strawberries
and buy some from a shop, I’m disappointed - because
strawberries picked for sale in shops are never properly ripe.
(Recently the letters page of the London Times had a
correspondence on what is the perfect tool for taking the woolly
core out of strawberries. A tool that wouldn’t be necessary if
your strawberries were decently ripe, because they would have
come off the stalk hollow, leaving the core behind.)

This reminds me of a trip we took about 15 years ago. We were in
California, and our hotel was right across the street from a
farm with strawberry fields. We walked to the farm stand to buy
some fresh berries to snack on, and my 7 year old turned up
their nose at these strawberries that didn’t look anything like
what we bought at the store back home. These were RED, and
strawberries are supposed to be mostly pink!

I don't eat cake anymore. I never really loved it, but as a kid,
I ate it cause it was a treat and a vessel for icing. Although I
wouldn't call a grocery store sheet cake much of a treat.
I'm okay with dense torts or cupcakes that have been thoroughly
injected, but most cake is just blah to me. And I really don't
understand the love of red velvet cake. I'd much rather have a
low flour fudgy dense tort with chocolate mousse and no fake red
colouring.
I was lucky as a kid. My mom was quite a good cook, who liked to
try new recipes. We also grew most of our own vegetables, except
for what we got from the farmer next door. I'm more likely to
not eat things now, because I no longer required to (I have a
sensitivity to a compound that makes certain veggies taste
bitter...all the veggies that have the wild mustard as their
ancestor...broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, brussel
sprouts).

I'm the same with strawberries. Got so burned out on them as a
child that I just never really have a desire to eat them. They
were also never my favorite fruit. My husband and kids like
them, so I'd buy them. But I just have a desire to reach for
them no matter how tasty they are to others, even ones freshly
grown by friends.

English cucumbers & mini cucumbers have spoiled regular
garden-variety cucumbers for me.
Also, life is too short for bad cheese.

Not eat so much but bubble gum, particularly double bubble. I
used to chew it aaallll the time as a kid. Hubba bubba, and a
few others.
Now I don't chew gum at all due to TMJ issues. I'm convinced
that all the double bubble I chewed helped to create some of
those issues.

I don't think I was an avid chewer but did love the occasionally
bubble gum bubble challenge. More than 10 years ago, we did a
Fear Factor bday party for one of our kids. For one challenge, I
froze bubble gum and the challenge was for the kids to be the
first to be able to blow a bubble. I decided to try it out first
to see how hard it was. I forgot how darn large a double bubble
was.
