Why is it when you get older everything becomes "too rich, too sweet, too *insert adjective here*"?

[oiprocs]

People get older, all of a sudden candy is now too sweet. Soda is a travesty, wayyy too much sugar (though the argument can and has been made that it was sugary to begin with). Girls dress too skimpy. Guys are too girly. Cars are too fast. Houses are too big.

I don't want to end up like that. Please tell me how to stop it. 🙁

People become too whiny

The reason why is because you have to start paying for all of it.

I learned that I didn't like a big house early on because I had to help maintain it. Smaller place=less work.
Things being too sweet, well, you get the ability to eat so many that you get sick and then you don't want to eat anymore again...
Cars too fast, well, nobody has given me a car too fast yet. Don't see that happening any time soon. Though there's something to be said about having a slow car that you can throw around ANYWHERE! I could floor my first car for miles at a time and not have to worry, my current one can pass that car's top speed in under 16 seconds.

Your generalizations are too sweeping. Bah!

It's called "frame of reference." When you're younger, you don't have one. You can't tell if something is "too ____". SUCKAZ!

Winning argument thus far.
