Dagashi Kashi - Vol. 9 Ch. 149 - Tangerine Water

wait, they change it to make it milder? man back then it was taste like chemical.. i feel you saya!
 
You know what, I just had something with strong sweetener yesterday, and my throat feels like burning after drinking even a little of it mmm...
I know I don't like it but when the super hot day strikes I might actually drink that again mmm...
 
It's actually interesting to wonder about that. Whether candy and snacks you enjoyed as a kid don't have the intense taste you remember because you don't have a child's sensitive palate anymore or the overall decrease of refined sugar content due to new regulations. It could well be a combination of both, depending on the case.

(Incidentally, the above is why children dislike bitter/pungent food like green bell peppers and coffee. Also the origin of the "kids hate greens" stereotype is that cheap flash-frozen, oxidized vegetables taste like copper to them. Unlike most adults, they can tell something is off.)
