What things from your past arent as nice as you'd remembered

[notacooldad]

For me it is
Babysham I dont know if I have spelt it right

Angel delight especially Butterscotch which I used to love as a kid.

Vienetta
Cinzano bianco Admittedly I've not had this since I was 14 and my an would let me drink it ( probably to wind my mum up)

Vol au vonts 🤮

Cream soda. Used to love it but doesn’t taste as creamy and vanilla-y as I remember

Oh definitely Viennetta, it's disgusting isn't it?! I do wonder if quite a lot of the foods we had as kids have been improved in terms of nutrients and that's come at the cost of enjoyment 😂 there's a few Birdseye things that I remember being amazing that are now pretty meh at best.

Maribou milk chocolate

Spaghetti hoops in tins

Ghostbusters… well basically every cartoon I liked as a kid tbh

Give me the rage now

I tried to watch the flint stones and was reading to give Wilma the number for women’s aid before the credits were out

Ready

Oh yes spaghetti hoops, so sugary now! In fact they've changed since my student days, used to love cheese and hoops on birdseye waffles (which are thankfully still good) for tea!

Winnie the Fucking Pooh. I really looked forward to reading it to my children, having enjoyed it as a child. But discovered it was the most nauseating, arch, twee, saccharine garbage known to man.

Winnie the Fucking Pooh
Poor Winnie!🤣🤣

Quavers

Mini milks. Have they changed the recipe? I swear they used to be creamy but now they're rank

Crispy pancakes. They were the best thing ever when I was a kid, they're shite now.

Goosebumps too! Tried to get DD into the series a while ago and it's so painfully bad watching it back, I used to love it!

Agree with all of these - crispy pancakes, spaghetti hoops, angel delight, pot noodles, etc. I think they next of had a shit tonne of salt and flavourings in them to make them taste nice and now they have to be ‘healthier’ they taste bland. Plus I suppose companies are suing cheaper ingredients etc in order to make money.

I'm sure Viennetta used to be creamier.

A lot of 90s pop music sounds so tinny and musically boring to me now. I can't enjoy Britney or Kylie or any of the girl bands anymore, except All Saints.

McDonald's. Tasteless and cold.

(And the 'restaurants' stink of oil.)

Pop tarts - remembered them from my childhood as delicious, tried them again a year or so ago and was bitterly disappointed. Dry, hot, overly sweet but flavourless.

Viscount biscuits. Yuck.

Pretty sure it’s all gone to shit since they banned all the artificial stuff and tried to bring the calories down.

Sunny D anyone????!

Bond movies.

Mini milks. Have they changed the recipe? I swear they used to be creamy but now they're rank
Ds was ribbing me about mini milks the other day.
I wouldn't let him have them as a desert as Chiquitos ( or somewhere) as it wasnt a proper dessert. However it was the only ice lolly I would let him have after swimming lessons!!( because it was the cheapest and I didn't have much money)

Cremola Foam

Angel delight.

Breville, I used to love the toasties, now not so much.

A large caravan park we used to go to. The caravan stank of dogs and there were heaps of dog shit all around the grounds. Never again!

I agree with butterscotch angel delight, so disappointing.
Iced gems, sort of paler and tasteless now.
Jelly tots and fruit pastils, sort of softer and squashy now.
Cadbury chocolate - don't get me started, I know the recipe has completely changed but I think it's not been right since it stopped being wrapped in foil.
I still like mini milks though!

CoCo Pops...used to be a guilty pleasure then they removed all the sugar and its vile
