When it comes to food or drink , most of the kids are very finicky. This film footage came to mind of the kids in the Life cereal commercial from the 1970's. I am to this day very finicky when it comes to my food as well. Certain foods must be just right !

finicky
adjective FIN-ih-kee
Definition :
1 : extremely or excessively particular, exacting, or meticulous in taste or standards.
2 : requiring much care, precision, or attentive effort.
Did You Know ?
You may be familiar with an advertising campaign featuring Morris, the finicky housecat who would only eat a certain brand of cat food. Morris's tastes in cuisine are not only very particular, but very fine as well, and that's appropriate given the origin of finicky. The word came about as an alteration of finicking, itself an alteration of another adjective, finical. It's believed that finical derives from the adjective fine. Finicking also gives us finick, a somewhat rare verb meaning "to put on airs" or "to dawdle about."
Examples :
The young boy was a finicky eater, and his parents found it challenging to come up with ideas for healthy meals that he would enjoy.
"The 1970s, '80s, and '90s electronic components that are inside most pinball machines are aging and finicky, with a shrinking pool of techs able to decipher the machines' precise workings." — Zane Razzaq, The MetroWest Daily News (Framingham, Massachusetts), 27 Dec. 2018.

I'm finicky....and I can't sit still.
Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for sharing the wonderful cereal commercial of finicky Mikey who protested his breakfast Life cereal.
I feel finicky my friends. As a Ford, I was subjected to finicky nicknames such as fix or repair daily, found on the road dead, etc. Oh the woes of childhood where tots and toddlers had no mercy :-)
