Do you feel the same?

Like the older you get, the less sensitive your nose and tongue are, i.e. the sense of taste and smell is getting worse and worse (or different)?

I remember how I used to love instant noodles so much when I was a kid, they were like better than
any other food in the world. But 20 years after, I tried the same brand of noodles, and it just tasted different, nowadays, they taste like nothing and lame to me, whereas they were so awesome in the past. So I just found it weird, noodles are the same, but what I felt 20 years ago, and 20 years after is entirely different. Does anyone have the same feeling?

Absolutely, (even though I don't recall noodles ever being 'awesome'). (The company also may have changed the recipe for their product as well - that's a possibility too). But as you get older (I'm 45), your taste buds on your tongue aren't the same as when you were younger, and neither is your nose sense (at least for humans - dogs generally have a pretty good olfactory sense throughout their lives). I smoked cigarettes for like a decade when I was younger, so that didn't help my nose abilities.
I still have a fairly good tongue and taste buds though - I still can enjoy the flavor of a good steak, for example.

I think you just got bored with instant noodles due to loving them and eating them all the time. The human brain needs variety - it gets bored if one is constantly eating or performing the same action over and over. Your noodles will taste just as good again someday, so long as you lay off them for awhile. Then, when you have them again, your brain will be like "WOW, this is so GOOD. It reminds me of my childhood" !
