17 Foods You ALWAYS Ate As A Child That You Wouldn't Touch With A 10-Foot Pole Today

Everyone feels a hint of nostalgia when they think about their childhood.

Whether you instantly think of the places you used to go, the people you used to know, the things you used to do, or the things you used to say, the word "childhood" alone is enough to bring back vivid memories of the "good old days."

Those were simpler times, and we tend to miss those more than any as adult life continues to slam us with new twists and turns.

However, the same cannot always be said about the foods we adored as kids.

They say your taste buds change with age, and that's a great thing for some of us because kids are notoriously weird about food. Some are picky eaters whose diets consist solely of chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Others will eat everything from brussels sprouts to dirt. There's just no telling where you will land when you decide to welcome a bundle of joy into the world.

Regardless of where your eating habits fell on the spectrum of weird when you were a child, you probably enjoyed these 17 foods, but they likely make you gag now that you're an adult.

Guard your stomachs for this trip down memory lane, because some of these are pretty offensive.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
