Honestly, it could be everything you mentioned and none of it as well!. Maybe you're coming down with a cold (taste buds change when you get sick) maybe the expiration dates were valid on the bottles of product you consumed, but you don't know if they were properly kept in temperature after opening them, thereby altering their freshness and tastes!. Maybe your cities water supply line is being flushed, cleaned and re-purified, thereby altering your tasty spigot water drinking, I don't dare speculate on the effects of the flu shot because I don't get them but have never heard of this side effect from people who do!. Oddly enough, this is my last theory, taste buds do change!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.and maybe, because you have enjoyed these condiments for so many years, your body is just over it!. These are not solid conclusions, just my best guess, hope this helps you out today, it is kinda weird though and it would make me wonder too! Www@FoodAQ@Com
sounds like the water from the spigot is suspect!. some municipalities put chemicals like fluoride in the water!. The water pipes can also impart a metallic taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Maybe it is the preservatives!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
