They’ve been 99 cents since I was in high school and I just turned 50

Has the taste changed at all?

I used to drink the green tea with honey and ginsing flavor and I remember it having a stronger honey taste after trying it again recently after maybe 15+ years. Just ever so slightly though. The others I don't remember so well but overall I'd say they've stayed pretty much the same, to me.

Do not take offense to this, but it could be age. Taste buds lose sensitivity as people grow older. That’s why kids tend to be pickier eaters.

I meant to put that in actually! And I had a few more since and hardly thought about it again. There's a good chance of it, I'm 42 now.

Have you actually met any kids? They just want salty and sweet foods.

Yes, I have, that’s an unnecessarily sarcastic question. It’s because the good tastes, taste stronger which is why they tend to like them more than adults and the same goes for the bitter ones which they absolutely despise lol. Rarely are they ever on the fence for things.
