Even chocolate bars - Kit Kats, Smarties, O'Henry - it's more like eating Chapstick than chocolate.

I was thinking about something along these lines the other day. Is it worth having a "refined palate" if it comes at the cost of enjoying the meh food and drink of daily life that everyone else loves? Like you can't enjoy a glass of Yellow Tail, Folgers, Budweiser, etc because it's not as good as what you are now used to? Is ignorance bliss?
