Age plays a part. I don't each much sweets as an adult in the US because they are usually cloying. I'd rather have some fruit. It was the opposite when I was a child.

I had some mild sweet Oreos from Korea recently, and I prefer them to normal ones, for instance.

Not sure how old you are, but the sweets may have a comeback later in life. AFAIK, the sweet taste receptors on the tongue are the last to deteriorate at old age, so all non-sweet food will start tasting more and more bland. Thus all the cake parties for the elderly.

At least that is what I half-remember from my studies, grateful for any corrections.
