Go-gurt tastes like formaldehyde. Except, apparently, to kids. Maybe they don’t have fully developed taste buds or something?

I’ve read studies about how kids’ tastebuds are far more sensitive to things like spicy foods and bitter tastes than adult tastebuds. I imagine that it depends on the flavor and the associations you develop as an adult more than what it actually objectively tastes like.
