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?

Plain Pringles, I used to be able to scoff loads now they are just about eatable if starving

When I was a child and we went abroad on holiday I always enjoyed a lemon ( limon) Fanta ,it was lovely and you couldn't get it in England
I was delighted when I saw them being sold in the UK but its revolting far too sweet and Slimey.

Less sugar, less salt in food (because they care) and add palm oil because that’s so healthy.

I bought some shortbread in Waitrose last Xmas. Absolutely foul! Checked ingredients- all rapeseed oil instead of butter. I mean why? In fairness, they weren't Waitrose brand but why bother stocking them?

Re the comments about bread. If you can afford it get a breadmaker and make your own bread (or get a used one). So much better and tastier than shop bought. It takes about 2 mins to throw all the ingredients in and switch on. And works out a lot cheaper than buying.

Grime the WWF about palm oil.

1. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH PALM OIL?

Palm oil has been and continues to be a major driver of deforestation of some of the world’s most biodiverse forests, destroying the habitat of already endangered species like the Orangutan, pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhino. This forest loss coupled with conversion of carbon rich peat soils are throwing out millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. There also remains some exploitation of workers and child labour. These are serious issues that the whole palm oil sector needs to step up to address because it doesn’t have to be this way.

Yeah - Nutella is really slimy nowadays.

I can’t eat bread anymore and just manage to eat pittas for sandwiches, I even toast them. There’s something to do with gluten, so many people can’t tolerate it and I think I’m one of them.

They’re so wrong it’s devastating

This year will be my first ever Christmas without a tin of Quality Street - I’ve loved them since I was a child, but I’ve had to accept reality: they are now horrid. The good times are over!

Inspired by this thread I've just ordered a bread maker.

Often repackaged with an increase in cost,

Discos and squares (the crisps)

Used to love the crunch - now they just taste stale

The supermarket ones went bad really quickly and the ones I managed to use turned grey in the pan. So I bought Albert Bartlett ones, even worse! They weren’t going off, but they did soften when boiled, so disappointing.

All Kellogg's cereals
PG Tips
Cadbury chocolate
Walls ice cream
Tango, Fanta, 7up,- all the pop that now has sweeteners instead of just sugar.
McDonald's chicken sandwich
Salad Nicoise from Pizza Express. Actually everything from Pizza Express.
Mr whippy ice cream from the van
KFC
Walkers crisps
All fresh fruit and veg from a supermarket

I guess they were fresh before they started their long air flight. That’s the same for all fruit and veg.

I used to eat Crunchy Nut Cornflakes as a student. Loads of big cornflakes and nuts.

Now they are tiny bits of paper and grit.

Hellmans Mayonnaise!

Most of the supermarket brands have stopped using any kind of egg in custard now - even powdered! It’s just powdered dairy, odd fats and colouring.

Yes nd it’s half dead before we get to buy it.

For those who find all bread yukky (I mostly agree) try Wildfarmed if you don’t want to/ can’t make your own. It’s very tasty.

They're so sweet tasting now

Sorry didn’t soften.

Wtf has happened to matchmakers

I didn’t realise that!
