What is the meaning of [The forbidden fruit is always the sweetest]

“Forbidden” means it’s not allowed, so this phrase means that if something isn’t allowed, you often want it the most (it will “taste” the sweetest). For example, let’s say you’re a kid whose parents don’t let you drink soda. You go to a friend’s house, and her parents ask if you want a soda. You say yes and really enjoy that soda because you never get to drink it at home.
