Why do things always taste better when you're younger?

I guess it has something to do with taste buds developing or something. I don't really know though, I'm not a scientist. Biologist? Whatever. The reason I bring this up is because a few nights ago I was reminded of this drink that I LOVED when I was younger. A killer koolaid. Woah mama, I used to suck those down like water. But, anyhoo. I had a few of them and realized they aren't as good as I recall, which brings me to this.



My grandmother used to make these sandwiches for my sister and I when we were younger up at the cottage. They are basically a piece of toasted bread, whatever jam you prefer, and cottage cheese layered on top. For this one I added sliced almonds for a little more protein. Back in my younger years, these were the best thing since... well... anything really. Having them now has just reiterated everything I mentioned in the above paragraph. Not as tasty. I'm really hoping that it's just my taste buds.. 'developing' and not that these were actually really bad before and I just didn't realize it.
