Something tempted me to buy a box and I am on an ice cream sandwich diet this week. They are still soooo good!
What have you discovered you still love?

Onion rings with ketchup.
Lately the old dog won’t eat his dinner unless I dice up a small peanut butter sandwich to put on top. I cut the crusts off (yeah, yeah, I know, but he’s very old) and have discovered that a PB sandwich on soft bread is still as lovely as it was when I was little. Now it’s my go-to staple for in-a-hurry noshing.
All of it. I never stopped eating the foods I ate as a kid: fresh veggies, fresh meats, fruit, fruit juices, desserts, water, tea, coffee. The foods served when I was a kid that I didn’t like then, I still don’t. Also, I’ve added a few items that we didn’t have as kids, such as broccoli and mushrooms. My mother didn’t buy junk food and I don’t either. She did like to go to Dairy Queen which is a tradition I’ve kept alive for my own kids as well.
Home cooked fried chicken. I always used to think it was nasty (too dry, greasy and salty) but that’s because I’ve only judged it based on fast food joints. I went to my friends family barbecue last month and his grandmother made the best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted.
Yoo-hoo chocolate drink. (Yogi Berra was the advertising spokesman it at the time.)
Malt balls. I used to get a box of malt balls at Thrifties drug store before we would go to the drive-in movies with my brother and my parents.
They have them in bulk at a lot of stores, but I never really tried them in that context until recently. Yum yum!
Cream of Wheat. Mmmm, with milk and butter and honey. OMG.
I haven’t revisited any yet.
I’d like to revisit Raisin Bran cereal, Fudgesicles, and Orange Julius.
@Brian1946 I never outgrew Raisin Bran, it’s so good!
