Why is it that food you thought was so fantastic when you were a kid is so disgusting now?
Like raisins, you know the ones in the little red box? We used to eat those all the time just for a snack, I wouldn't eat raisins now because chocolate is my snack of choice.
And hot dogs, I mean most people like a hot dog every once in awhile at a barbecue or something, but as a kid, hot dogs are like AWESOME! Not so much anymore.
Or american sliced cheese, yuck. Or corn dogs, similar to hot dogs yes, but seriously corn dogs. Or spaghetti-O's! Seriously disgusting people!!
And the ultimate nasty kid food I can't believe I ate:
BOLOGNA!
Have you eaten bologna lately? I work at a daycare, so I am a connoisseur of these nasty kid foods, most of them I can stomach, you get hungry enough and you will eat it. But bologna? Nope. I can't do it. I try, honestly every time bologna sandwiches come up on the menu I think, "Maybe this time it won't be that bad!" so I take a bite. And then I gag, and then I spit it out. Because GROSS! And what is that ring around the outside anyway?! Nevermind, I don't want to know.
What are some of the kid foods you loved that you can't stand now?
The only thing that is a kid favorite that never gets old is PIZZA, everybody loves PIZZA! :)
(After writing BOLOGNA so many times, I now have the Oscar Mayer song stuck in my head:
My bologna has a first name, its:
O-S-C-A-R
My bologna has a second name, its:
M-A-Y-E-R
Oh I love to eat it everyday, and
if you ask me why I'll saaaaaaaay,
'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way
with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

Hey, I'm first!
ReplyDeleteI think feeding bologna to kids is considered child abuse.
ReplyDeleteCan we still be besties even though I still love all kid food. Except Speghettios. You've got me there!
ReplyDeleteSure we can Shellie! We'll just only eat Smart Cookies together--deal?! haha
ReplyDeleteI LOVE bologna! No joke! I will eat bologna and cheese and mayo sandwiches, all the time!
ReplyDeleteUm, I have a confession. I really like bologna. It's kind of like comfort food. . . I know. I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteKraft Macaroni and Cheese is one food that just doesn't cut it for me anymore. When I was a kid I could eat a whole box by myself. Now, ugh, gross...
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then I'll try bologna and it's touch and go. Other kid food I can think of is that crazy candy. Not the classics like licorice or candy bars but the weird ones that aren't so popular. I remember eating a small variety as a child and now my kids see the weirdest stuff and beg for it. Then they'll actually eat it if I buy it. Ick!
ReplyDeleteActually Hot Dogs are probably it. I still like raisans, and I'm not going to lie, I like spaghetti o's.
ReplyDeleteNever liked or ate bologna, but I loved that jingle! hehe!
Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer weiner, that is what I truly want to be......ew, I hate it all, even as a kid I didn't like most kid food!
ReplyDeleteYeah, thanks for the song in my head! Hate bologna, still love mac and cheese, hate hot dogs, how about vienna sausages?
ReplyDeleteMy kids went through a bologna phase a few months ago...I gagged my way through it. That stuff is vile. Gratefully they're onto turkey lunch meat now as their lunch sandwich of choice.
ReplyDeleteTwinkies are a childhood food that I don't touch now...although deep fried Twinkies sound fun, maybe just once.
Three words for you:
ReplyDeleteCorn
Dogs
Rule
I agree totally. The only hot dogs I will eat are the really good quality ones that are 100% beef. No "machine-separated meat". Ugh
