Food that doesn't taste the same as it used to

[BigJanette]

Ritz crackers.
What in the name of feck did they do to them?
Where are those crispy, crunchy, salty circles of deliciousness?
Instead we have slightly off, stale tasting discs of disappointment.

I know from others that McVitie's Chocolate Digestives are also on the gone downhill list.
Anything else?

Heinz Sandwich Spread - fancied a bite of nostalgia and was bitterly disappointed.

Caramacs! They used to be my nap time treat, now they just taste like sludge

@JoyintheMorningdefo breakfast cereals have dramatically changed! I remember the cereal in my youth Kelloggs risicales and toppers frosted wheat

Do those still exist?! Is there a market for them?Who are those people?

Everything that has artificial sweeteners added to non sugar free items

Everything that has palm oil added

Plain digestives are totally different now

Generally speaking when you get a "new recipe" advertised on a product it's invariably worse.

Cherry brandy ice lollies from the ice cream van.

I think the thing is @DuchessofStaffordshire if you want those things it's for a nostalgia hit and if they taste different....

Super noodles

potato waffles

lucozade.

Milkyway rolls! They are so disgusting now.
And Cadbury puds. In my memory of these they had a real Christmas pudding taste , but now they’re just a waxy noisette. Didn’t they used to have a deep dried fruity rich flavour?

Do the orange ones still taste of orange?

We get our milk delivered in glass bottles from a local farm and the whole milk is very creamy!

Probably temporary but bananas are all green at the moment and garlic bulbs are all dried out and mouldy. Or maybe that's just Tesco

A Cadbury milk chocolate bar had only 20% cocoa solids. Yuck!
Sainsbury Dark choc with hazelnuts 55% cocoa. No contest imo

Pringles.
Used to be so moreish, no I can easily say no.

I've noticed this. You end up chucking most of the bulb away. Also, they sound seem to leave onions to dry sufficiently so they end up mouldy with soggy, rotten parts in the middle

Honey. Unless you buy a £10 jar of real honey.
Supermarket honey tastes like syrup.

Pringles. Weird the ones from this week

I think they cocked that up a few years ago! It's not awful, but they've replaced a lot of the mushroom with rice and some other filler that gives it a gloopy consistency. It used to be delicious, and now it's just ok.

Strawberries.

Anything with palm oil.
Anything with sugar swapped for artificial sweeteners.
Anything that's had the salt reduced.

I suppose it's reduced the tempation to eat junky treats because they're invariably disappointing.

Even DH has asked me not to buy a tub of Quality Street/ Roses for Christmas!

Im finding they go mouldy really quickly. I chuck out at least one per pack.

Sweetshop sweets. They all have corn syrup in now instead of sugar. Not nice.

I bought some Co-op doughnuts last weekend. The ingredient list was like a chemistry lesson gone wrong. Wtf is a humectant? Custard flavour, apparently, don't think it was anything like custard. Disgusting.

I can’t see that anyone has said McDonalds fries yet?
No longer the delectable sticks of salty junk that I used to love.
Im convinced they’ve removed almost all the salt. I’ve tried adding sachets of salt and shaking but its not the same.
(also - avoid the sour cream and black pepper one’s available atm. They are vile!)
