PB& Mayo, same here. I know other people ate them, but I never knew anyone else admit to it. It would gross people out just mentioning it. Sometimes I put peanut butter on BLTs. ---

Whenever I hear the song I’m Henry the VIII, I Am by Herman’s Hermits I still get a chuckle and sing along. Few things make me do that anymore to the extent I do with that song. Second verse, same as the first . . . Whenever I hear the song I’m Henry the VIII, I Am by Herman’s Hermits I still get a chuckle and sing along. ---

I love crisp, cold, overcast days even more as a middled-person than as a kid. No doubt because I’ve lived in South FLA for the last 25 years and never get to experience them anymore except on trips north on the holidays. That weather always meant the holiday season to me and it has lots of joy associated with it. Also, there’s a certain pleasure when you’re out in the cold but bundled up such that you’re all warm and toasty in your winter jacket, hat, and scarf. ---

I thought of some other things: terraria and aquaria. And writing. Never lost that either. ---

I still enjoy going on my reptile and amphibian hikes. When I find a small rain pond in a field with tadpoles and breeding frogs I still get the same joy as I did when I was a kid. I no longer catch them but I do enjoy finding them. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-you-loved-as-a-kid-that-you-still-love-as-an-old-person/985565.md?page=6)
