When I was a kid, I did not like spicy food. Now an adult, I love it.

Yes, kids are super tasters, so everything for them is more intense, both the bad and the good. So, if food is bitter, sour, or spicy, that can overpower another underlying flavor that may be enjoyable. When you get older, you end up being able to taste more of those enjoyable flavors and are not just blasted with the stronger flavors like bitter, spicy, and sour.
At the same time, your brain also just becomes accustomed to things, so you don’t notice them or care anymore.
