Some things I decided to like (when I was young) in order to "be more grown up." (Liquor, coffee, classical music, opera)

Or because cool people or people I admired were doing it (smoking a tobacco pipe, philosophy, math).

Some things to add variety to my life, just like MixedNuts. For example, learning to appreciate and distinguish between different types of wine, teas, cheeses, classical music.

Some because I thought they were good for me, so I might as well like them. (Yogurt, sushi)
