I'm the same way. My sweet taste buds and my sour taste buds are working over time! Even juice tastes super sweet to me. So now, I basically drink milk and water. I do still like chocolate a lot and fruit if I cut it with peanut butter. Oh, and the other thing, I can taste the difference in different types of waters - I guess chemicals and stuff. I don't remember ever really being able to tell before and now there's some water I won't drink because of the taste.
