    anecdotally, Ive gotten this with store bought basic sliced bread. I used to love it and snack on just bread as a kid, but Ive been making my bread with a bread machine for a few years, and now the store bread just tastes and feels like weak, dry, slightly sweetened insulation foam.

    I can only speak for myself but I’ve eaten at Michelin star restaurants all over the world and enjoy fine dining whenever I have the time and I love it, but sometimes I just want taco bell.

    Alcohol, on the other hand; good Scotch and wine has ruined the cheap stuff for me. I can’t drink cheap, or even mediocre, whisky or wine anymore. If it’s not very high quality I’d rather just have something like a gin or vodka cocktail.

      There is legitimately good wine at just about every price point… You definitely should not write off a wine just because of the price.

      And conversely, there’s lots of BAD wine that’s expensive.

      Try everything and keep track of what you like! Your wine drinking experience will improve, and it’ll probably cost you less to boot!

    No science. But I have this with wine. If it’s not good wine, I’d usually rather just skip it. Wine snob they say. However, I’m there for the quality, and if it’s not there, neither am I.

      Funnily enough there is science pointing to the idea that the more expensive somebody thinks a wine is the better it tastes to them
