    Few years ago I used to drink soda almost everyday. Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7 up etc. They started to taste very bland for me. Literally they taste so bland that I can't drink them. Same with energy drinks like red bulls and my countries local energy drinks. It's like my body suddenly decided that I can't drink them. But here's a thing I can drink new flavors of soda that I never have tried they taste good. But after a month or weeks they become same bland taste.

    This is weird food burnout that I have ever experienced. Even though I have stopped drinking them for 5-6 years thinking it would return normal. But nope. I don't experience this kind of food burnout to other things like eggs. I have breakfast with eggs every single day. I don't get this type of burn out. Just changing the way eggs cook can makes it delicious again. Even after few weeks I can return eating that same egg I got tired of it.

    So, I'm wondering if anyone could help me tell me why this is happening and if anyone experiencing same thing.

    You didn't need help
    What you got is a blesssing in disguise as you unconsciously avoid bad drinks which is a hard for most people, me included
    Also got that like once every few months and what you need to do is just don't drink those sodas and energy drink, your tastes will come back after a week or so

    Try milktea.

    Lucky you, you only got food burnout.
    I literally cant drink soda now due to gallstones. Sips are ok but drinking a shot or a glass, takes me down a day or two. Cant take pain meds since it will worsen my problem.

    My imaginative assumption is that your body is smart enough to know what you need and what u dont.
    Protein is essential for you no matter what age you are in, but sugars from all those sodas aint. And i heard that sugar is totally unnecessary for us but carbs still needed.

    Eggs are food and soda is an artificial edible product.

    You're better off never consuming it at all.

    Because when you get older, your taste buds are decreased. Look at your grandpa! He doesn't eat very tasty and delicious snacks. Why? Because for him, the snacks don't enough tasty.

    Also, you know? Covid is literally changing your relish. For example, I liked dishes with onions before, but now I can't eat them. Because I can smell the onion even from the cooked food. Also, the taste of the black tea I drank has also changed.

    Yea, same thing with tea for me. They used to be the best thing ever but now they just taste like hot water with sugar to me. Had to start adding herbs to start liking them again. Maybe add vodka to your soda or something.

    sugar is a simple carb, the healthier alternative is complex carbs which are found in bread, potatoes and rice.
    Simple as in it's absorbed very fast by the body, typically we'd overload on sugars, get a spike in our bloodstream and then the body would respond by creating insulin and storing the excess energy as fat, resulting in a 'sugar crash' literally a down after a high.

    Complex carbs are typically good for a few hours of energy at a rate where the body can run on it, but it won't go haywire.

    Also, to OP, every single cell in our body gets replaced throughout our lives, and they say every 7 years your taste blands will also go through some changes. It's possible you just grew out of it. Although, typically you'd see someone disliking how sweet it is, not that it's bland.

    Something tasting good is typically the brain rewarding you for supplying yourself with something it thinks it needs. If there's a problem with this system i'd ask an actual doctor about it.

    Like I said even though I stopped drinking them for 5-6 years. It still haven't changed.

    My grandfather is long dead before I was even born.
