That fake square cheese stuff that comes wrapped in plastic. Ughhhhh!
Fish sticks.
And sadly, bananas. I don't know if it's the bananas or my taste buds, but something has changed tremendously!
Oh, and as kids, we actually used to mix milk with koolaid and we thought it was fab-yoo-lusssss!! Ick Ick Ick!
Any sweetened cereal. Also storebought cookies and Hostess or Little Debbie-type snack cakes.
My sweet tooth vanished as I grew up.
TV dinners (now known as "frozen meals").
When I was a child (of the 80s), they were TV dinners, and we only ever got them on the rare occasion that my parents were going out on a date and we had a babysitter. It was a big treat to get some Swanson salisbury steak, veggies, whipped potatoes, and a dab of cherry crisp so hot it was like lava, all served up in a foil tray. Now I cringe at frozen meals and consider them a last resort/staple of crappy jobs where I could barely leave my desk for lunch, but as a kid, it was a novel once-in-a-while treat.
I always loathed Spaghettios or any other Franco-American canned pasta type thing. I didn't realize it until I was an adult, but all their "sauces" taste exactly like acid reflux. Mmmm.
Not sure it really qualifies as food, but Nestle Quick strawberry flavored powder for milk. I practically lived on that stuff as it was the only way I would drink milk at bedtime. I'm still not a big fan of drinking milk, but I absolutely can't stand strawberry milk now.
I used to eat hot dogs straight out of the refrigerated package - Oscar Meyer, etc. I liked Spam by itself. I ate Deviled Ham and Deviled Chicken on white bread. Twinkies. King Dons. Atomic Fireballs/Jawbreakers. That colored sugar that came in the same-colored straws that you'd just open and pour into your mouth.
Goose liver sandwiches. At least that's how our parents referred to it. It was pink, came in a roll, and you sliced off what you wanted for your sandwich. I can still remember the taste after 60 years, but the texture would disgust me now.
Bologna, hot dogs, breakfast sausage, canned stuff (Dinty Moore, Chef Boyardee, etc)
I love bologna and cheese sandwiches, but bologna doesn't love me anymore. I agree about the canned stuff. That and TV dinners and those Salisbury steak boil in a bag dinners. Just no.
