I devoured them growing up, but I sort of make my own versions from scratch now, except the ravioli, which I buy using a better brand. What about you?
 
Pimento Cheese
 
Ice cream

It's not that I don't like it anymore. I just don't think of buying it. The desire just isn't there anymore.
 
Baked beans
McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Wendy's
Corn
White rice
White bread
Candy (except Rolos, still eat them.)
 
Used to love corn on the cob, I can't remember the last time I had it.

Cold cereal, too. Used to devour two or three bowls of it watching cartoons on Saturday mornings, now almost never.
 
Reversing this there are foods I refused to eat as a child that I now enjoy eating. Ham for instance, I think it was too salty for me.

Beans. Hated them as a kid but I'll eat them now.

Disliked baked ham as a kid, and still do now. ;)
 
Toasted grilled cheese. No clue how I could stand that as a child. Ramen and cheese too.
 
Well, I became vegetarian in my early teens so there’s all the meat. I still miss pepperoni pizza.

Then there was the the Wendy’s nacho bar that I loved as a kid. Obviously I don’t eat that now because it’s gone.
 
Fish sticks.
 
I’d probably get a heart attack if I even touch this stuff now. But I remember eating these sugar bombs on sunny Saturday mornings while watching Bugs Bunny. I would look forward to that all week. Fond memories.

unfortunately - according to my wife - at 71, i still have the diet of a 10 year old kid, who chooses whatever he wants (with the near certainty it will not be healthy)
substituted ginger ale in lieu of coke/pepsi, in a tip of the hat to my nephrologist, who advised me to cease drinking dark colored sodas

That's a good idea. If I can find a decent diet ginger ale I may overcome my diet Pepsi addiction.
 
Full sugar Coke. There's no net benefit except during the rare occasions that I need the calories.
Milkshakes. Too calorie dense. There's nothing quite like a milkshake and a cheeseburger, but I rarely get that combo these days.
Jawbreakers. Yeah, dental work is expensive enough, and I'm not 12 anymore.
 
Beef jerky. Not that I don’t still love it, but my teeth aren’t what they used to be😃
 
I was a very picky eater as a kid, so other than sugar cereals or fluffy white breads there isn't much that I won't still eat. My diet is 100x more varied now than when it was when I was 10, but much less sugar is involved.
