I'm not who you asked, but I drank a good amount of coffee when I was a kid. I spent a lot of time at my grandparents, where people (particularly my grandfather) would drink coffee from the time they woke up until the time they went to bed. My grandfather would always tell me coffee costs 10 cents for anyone under the age of 16, then I would "steal" a handful of coins from his change jar and give it to him. My best friend growing up also drank a lot of coffee at home. I have never even thought it was weird until I started typing this out.

Maybe it's an old wives tale, but I remember hearing coffee can stunt your growth. Kids don't need to be tuned up on caffeine either. I get all nervous and shaky after one cup, and I'm 33 years old. I guess if you're used to it, it's fine though.

Opposite answer- I LOVED chicken as a child, but slowly grew to despise it as an adult. I was accidentally given a chicken soup at a restaurant recently because of a miscommunication between the server and I. I ate it and it was amazing. Besides that, I have not eaten chicken in years.

Egg. Mayo. Milk.
Come to think of it I had a weird hate of white foods.

The caffeine in coffee definitely effects people differently. Even as a lifelong daily consumer, it still effects me differently day to day. You're right about kids and caffeine though. I can count on both hands the number of times my two girls have had caffeinated sodas.

Same here, I avoided mustard until I was about 25 and my mom gave me a bottle of Sriracha mustard. Since then, I consume a 12oz bottle of spicy brown mustard every month. Baked chicken with mustard is just so good, I don't use any other sauce or spice rub on it anymore.

Started drinking coffee when I was 4 and grew up to be 6'5". My parents discovered that a little caffeine helped me concentrate after spending years not knowing how to treat my ADHD.

Grew up in an Italian household hating Italian food for some reason, especially red sauce based dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, ricotta stuffed ravioli, lasagna, eggplant parm, etc. I fucking love the stuff now. There's something so simple and delicious about a homemade marinara on spaghetti with big chunks of tomato and a sprinkling parmigiano reggiano
I don't understand how one can hate chicken. It's the most neutral meat in existence. It takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with and gives it a nice, meaty texture.

I only had it occasionally. I'm pretty sure the growth thing is bullshit, just like going blind from masturbation
