What’s a “small” change that hit you harder than it should have?

[TheRealBoswell]

I’m still gutted about the recipe change for Robinsons Summer Fruits Refreshed. That was one of my absolute favourites, and Ribena Strawberry was right up there too, but I just can’t get into the new versions at all. I also never got over the switch they made to Robinsons Fruit & Barley Summer Fruits. Anyone else have a “small” change like this that just hit a little harder than expected? What have you been gutted about that's really not a big deal to others?

Tango cherry, can only buy the crap sugar free stuff now 😔

What gives you the right to think you can kill them. They are harmless and a very important part of the food chain. Shame on you!

I’ve remembered another one- Cadbury’s Animal Biscuits used to be made with the same white sort of biscuit that you get in a cadburys finger.
Now they’ve changed it to this darker, bland biscuit and they are absolutely disgusting.

They have ruined them completely.

The discontinuation of Breakaway biscuits earlier this year. Even though they were not really the same as they were in the 70s, I still ate them and felt I'd lost something from my childhood when they disappeared.

Absolutely agree with you! The sweeteners they have added actually make my tummy go funny too. I’d gladly pay a bit more for the sugar! They’ve ruined squash! All mixers!
I feel you completely my choice is just water in a lot of places. I’ve taken to having non alcoholic versions of things (Kopperbarg, cider, larger etc) They haven’t messed with them!

You can't buy Selsun anymore, or Tyrozets 😔

Nooo! The purple one gone?

Stopped buying pears soap when they altered the ingredients, doesn’t smell as nice.

Sainsburys petite pois are just normal sized peas now.

Bourjois serum foundation being discontinued is probably the hardest hitting, can't find anything that goes on as nice even the more expensive brands. Using MAC face and body but doesn't have the same coverage.

Oh shit yeah and discontinued loreal liquid superliner (although liquid liner doesn't go on my lids as nice this side of 40...)

White are LEDs and cheap to run

A few years ago now though. TCP only being available in liquid form not as an ointment.

And the liquid smelt quite disgusting

I've always found the Robinson one too sweet and prefer the supermarket own brands, especially aldi. X

Yet still make the shit Blue Riband. What's that about?

Products in Poundland are no longer £1

I cannot stand the smell of original washing up liquid, especially Fairy. It makes me gag.

@Fedupandstressed wrote Our council switch ours at 11pm until 6am now. Not fun walking home alone.

Our (county) council proposed switching off the lights from 1am or 2am to 6am. Outcry. The (city) council said they’d pay for the extra 4 or 5 hours - it’s a university city so presumably there are lots of students out in the early hours. Then the county council said they’d pay for it after all.

I don’t know who’s paying for it now but the lights seem to be on all night. Have lots of people complained to your council?

A torch may be a help in finding your way home but it doesn’t light up unpleasant people who may be hiding off the path. I was going to write “hiding in the shadows” but there aren’t any.

Do you honestly think me killing 4 or 5 spiders a year will upset the global food chain that much?

Never go to the east where they eat them.....you'll need a jacket that lets you hug yourself after seeing that!

@Mileymileymoomoo Seabrook's do a Worcester sauce version.....its the closest thing to walkers!!

@PrinnyPree I don't know if it's the same formulation but Superdrug stock Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation.

Irn Bru.

And chicken and mushroom pot noodles haven't been the same either since the fuckers healtherised.

The disappearance of Arnott's Chocolate Royals. They still have the milk chocolate and pink marshmallow ones, but the dark chocolate and plain marshmallow, the ultimate luxury biscuit of my childhood, were withdrawn years ago. Bastards.

Miss Dior perfume changing completely. It’s my smell. And it reminds me of times when my mum was still here and my ex was still here and I was really happy and I cannot face running out of the 30 sprays max that I have left in the bottle.

This!!

I loved Spud U Like! Especially their garlic bread.
