Beer and early bed times, especially for kids. Just to clarify, not beer for kids.
Hey, I OFFER ONCE!!! It's not like I told you, "I gotta piss, be right back" and then disappeared... ask @gatorev12 about that one... I showed you some respect!!
Whiskey.
When I was ten or so, my dad and my uncle were each enjoying a glass of bourbon and like a couple of dum-dums my cousin and I thought it would be fun to ask for some. My uncle told us we could have as much as we wanted and told us to fetch a couple of glasses, which we excitedly did. He poured a tiny bit into each glass which we happily imbibed. I thought someone had poured gasoline in my mouth and tossed in a lit match. I ran to the sink and probably spent a good ten minutes trying to wash that taste out of my mouth. That was of course the reaction my uncle was hoping for. My cousin on the other hand liked it and asked his dad for more. The promise for as much as we wanted was immediately withdrawn and that was that. (My dad thought it turned pretty funny and really busted his brother's balls for a while about it.) Surprisingly my cousin did not become an alcoholic and is now a very successful guy and a moderate drinker. In my case it was a long time later that I learned to appreciate any type of whiskey; now I enjoy it more than any other hard liquor.
Seriously, that is some OLD coffee! Probably not very good for you.But generally speaking, I was drinking coffee at like 3 years old.
brussel sprouts
I drink iced coffee almost every morning, and have done so for almost 20 years. It's the best.I have an odd twist on this... i didn't drink hot coffee as a kid, i'm with you there. But, oddly, when my parents went to bed, they'd almost always leave their remaining coffee (milk and sugar, and yeah, for some weird ass reason, they drank coffee at night and left the cups out) in the family room and on my way to do my paper route at 4:30 am, i LOVED drinking the leftover cold coffee... ice coffee wasn't "invented for another 30 years!
Same here, except with my dad until he passed.My rule on such matters... i offer ONCE
Perhaps you thought the name of this thread was, "
Name Something you didnt understand adults liking when you were a kid, and you still dont understand how in the actual F anyone could now
Oh, I get it... but when one must to put a bunch of schit on something and then broil it until it's extra crispy, one doesn't really "like" something...depends on how you prepare them...
drizzled with olive oil and seasonings and then broiled in the oven until extra crispy... it's the only way to eat them.
otherwise, yes... they do suck azz.
No...that would still be coffee.

The real question is, would you take them?Oh, I get it... but when one must to put a bunch of schit on something and then broil it until it's extra crispy, one doesn't really "like" something...
I tell people that I joined the Army and left home right after graduating from HS for things like, "God & Country," a "sense of patriotism," even just "for the college fund"... but in reality, it was to escape schitty tasting things at home like brussels sprouts, parsnips, and other garbage "food of military defeat/poorness."
Fast forward to today: my wife, and all 3 of my adult kids "love" brussels sprouts! FML... wonder if the Army will take me back...
Depends. What is your gender of choice and particular pronouns you would demand senior NCOs and Officers address you as? I can't believe I could even type that and not puke.Oh, I get it... but when one must to put a bunch of schit on something and then broil it until it's extra crispy, one doesn't really "like" something...
