Tastebuds Changing

[bloodchoke]

Since I've started drinking coffee, I've only really liked it black. I've tried it with cream and/or sugar and have never liked it. I do enjoy an occasional latte or cafe au lait but I typically drink black drip coffee, an americano, or a quad espresso over ice; black. Last week, out of the blue, I wanted creamer in my coffee. I keep several creamers on-hand for guests. Anyway, I added some to my coffee and then decided that it needed to be just a little sweeter, so i added some Splenda. I'm hooked. I've tried drinking a couple of cups of black coffee since (one of decent quality and one high quality) and yuck; it's as if I've never enjoyed black coffee in my life.

I know that tastebuds change (actually, those cells simply aren't replaced, and we lose tastebuds) as we age, but so abruptly?

Has anyone else experienced a sudden change like this?

(I'm not worried or anything; I just think it's weird.)

I had the same thing with coffee. I liked it with sugar only.

Now I can't drinking it unless it's DD creamer from the store. SO GOOD but soo bad for u

Most of the time I have my coffee just white. But occasionally I get mega cravings for really sugary coffee or tea (I'm a Brit!). And this will last anywhere upto two weeks. Even the thought of normal coffee makes me gag in this time.

I think in my case it's when my diet changes. My body seems to forget and wants to return to very old, but well learned habits!

I'm just went through the opposite... I could only drink coffee with cream and sugar, now I'm drinking it black!
