I recently stumbled across an article called 53 Things That Get Better With Age on the Seniors for Living website. (Seniors for Living is an American site that offers a free service that helps users evaluate, contact, and compare Senior Housing options.)

Why 53? Probably because there were so many good ones that it did not make sense to stop at the traditional top 5, top 10 or top 20 list! I think old pizza should have been on the list but then again,  I could eat pizza day and night, 24/7.

Take a look at this list and feel free to add your own examples below.
