Processed cheese (Tasty when I was five, but now, give me the real stuff!)

Synthetic "juice" drinks (Nectar of the gods when I was teensy, but now i'm a grown-@$$ woman and I'd rather have a flavorful blend of tea)

Processed peanut butter (Jif, Skippy, Peter Pan) -- Heaven to my four-year-old self, but the natural kind is much more appealing to my now-grown-up taste buds

packaged snack cakes (Ring-Dings, Twinkies and the like) -- a delicacy when I was in pigtails, sickeningly sweet, fatty-tasting goop now.

Fig Newtons, however, are another story. Those little fruit-and-cake delights are a dessert fit for emperors!

I know this is a joke, but I do crush up a vegetable bouillon cube and sprinkle it on popcorn as a seasoning. Crazy tasty. My mother agrees too

" Southwestern Chicken Roasted Corn Black Bean Cajun Tex Mex Cheese Chipotle Jalapeno Avocado Cilantro Egg Rolls are not egg rolls at all, and probably shouldn't even be considered food"

I'm a vegetarian (ovo-lacto), but take the chicken out of that dish, and in my opinion, you'd have an appetizer fit for a Roman emperor.

I would like to see potato skins available without bacon, and made with real Cheddar cheese instead of that plasticlike processed stuff.

Also, I might add, how is a breadstick-based pizza different from the classic dish where you make a pizza using a toasted English muffin as the base or crust? THAT is a favorite dish of mine, and it doesn't have to be "kiddie food." I never use jar sauce for these pizzas. I make my own quick -- and crazy-tasty -- sauce by blending sun dried tomatoes, a dab of oil, some herb seasoning blend, a squirt of honey and maybe a tiny bit of fig jam if I have any on hand, and a splash of vegetable broth in my food processor till smooth. I then spread this mixture on two toasted English muffin halves, top with cheese, add garnishes if I wish (olives, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers) place the assembled pizzas in my toaster oven till the cheese melts, and voila! A "quick-n-easy" pizza fit for a Roman emperor!

So, how is pizza with breadsticks as the crust really any different?

Ditto on the packaged veggie burger (Gardenburger, Boca Burger, and the like.) As a vegetarian for 20-plus years, I would like to see a vegetarian main dish on menus that isn't a soybean patty that's made by a company and could be found in my grocer's freezer. One would think that a CHEF can create an appealing, tasty dish that just doesn't happen to include meat, poultry, fish, or shellfish. Bravo for the portobello mushroom trend (and would happily wolf down a plate of portobello sliders) Also, I would love to see more meat-free appetizer choices that aren't deep-fried greasies in the shape of a ball or a stick.

I disagree about a lot of the candy items mentioned here.
I, for one, LOVE the fun-sized (or mini, if you prefer) candies. It's a tiny bit of something insanely tasty, enough to give pleasure without causing tummy pains. When I was a young'un and I went trick-or-treating, one house gave out mini Clark bars. Yum-o-delish! I polished those off first.
I think the chewy peanut butter kisses taste absolutely divine.
Candy corn, I think is plenty of tasty, as are the candy pumpkins made of candy-corn base. Think little dollops of hardened cake-frosting.
As for apples and raisins, those I didn't mind in the least.

However, some items, I do agree about.
Toothbrushes -- a boring reminder
Religious pamphlets -- disappointing and WEIRD to boot.
Packages of "normal" food -- oh, for crying in Manhattan, what kid wants to receive a can of baked beans or a box of oat bran in his little plastic jack-o-lantern.
One time I received cough drops -- and not the Ludens or Pine Bros or Smith Bros or F&Fs, which are tasty and could pass as hard candy (as can the Ricolas). These were nasty little green pellets that were -- and tasted like -- MEDICATION. Like I said, for crying in Manhattan! For crying in Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco

Oh well. At least I didn't get a ROCK

"my roommate bought a box of fruit roll-ups last week, for the life of me i have no idea why she would eat those things as a semi-grownup!"

Ummmm. . . .because she thinks they're tasty? :-)

I mix baby-food bananas with Fage Greek Yogurt and add some Splenda and sometimes cinnamon. Pretty tasty!

Eat Breakfast for Breakfast! Does that sound like a David Bowie lyric or what? (Small Jean Genie eats breakfast for breakfast)
Some foods I eat upon waking up are traditional breakfast foods, but sometimes I'd have a grilled cheese or mac-n-cheese. I like yogurt and fruit for breakfast, which is good any-time-of-day food

Fruits are very tasty when frozen. Like Nature's Italian ice! Refreshingly sweet and frosty. I loved to snack on frozen strawberries when I was a little girl and a teen. Still do.
Other items that are yummy frozen are many candies, such as York Peppermint Patties. Mmmmmm. And yes, Thin Mint cookies
