Yes I can taste the difference. No it’s not the same great taste.

Put out a lower sugar or salt free version if you want but leave my shit alone!!

Agreed!!

Skinnermarink · 24/02/2023 17:32

M&S did this, now their ready meals aren’t nearly as nice.

I wonder how long it’ll take someone to come along and go ‘you should learn to cook for yourself and not rely on ready meals anyway, they are disgusting’

FightingFatAt49 · 24/02/2023 17:33

Yep! 💯%

Soubriquet · 24/02/2023 17:35

Mine at the moment is walkers salt and vinegar crisps. They taste boring now. Now real taste to them

Ritz crackers, they are harder and not as salty

Applesandcarrots · 24/02/2023 17:36

Agreed! Chocolate is massive culprit. Lots just tastes of fat now.

UB40andaglassofwine · 24/02/2023 17:36

Mine is coco pops and asdas own chocolate milkshake. Not even sweet anymore

They haven't touched salt & vinegar Squares have they? 😱

Itisbetter · 24/02/2023 17:37

Frosties.

Applesandcarrots · 24/02/2023 17:37

And st Pellegrino 🙄 and I don't even mind sweeteners but it just tastes wrong

Lisdeflores · 24/02/2023 17:37

Wish I could say no but I wouldn’t hold out much hope.

Tomato soup…I had one the other week and it tasted too sweet. So weird

Twiglets...reduced the salt and took out the sheese. They are a pale, diluted version of their former glory and they have the bloody cheek to advertise them as 'original'...are they shite ! 😡

Soubriquet · 24/02/2023 17:40

I don’t understand why they had to change twiglets. I mean…they are what they are. Alter the recipe and it’s just awful.

Agree with pp who said Ritz crackers!
Also pombears (way less salty- more oily and don't get me started on how empty the bags are now. About 10 in each pack!)

Gatekeeper · 24/02/2023 17:40

AND they took out the cheese as well as the sheese...the bastards!

Notonthestairs · 24/02/2023 17:41

Well if they've fiddled with the Squares they need to issue a profits warning. I shall find salty/sour snacks elsewhere (hopefully).

Iwasntgettingasandwich · 24/02/2023 17:41

A particular type of Ocado ham. It was expensive but really good quality. They have 'improved' it and now it is just wet, regular packed ham. If I wanted cheaper ham I would have bought it, I paid for the quality.

Also, Horlicks. Disappointment in a mug.

Flangeosaurus · 24/02/2023 17:42

I can confirm that salt and vinegar discos are still as tongue-searing as ever. Squares were also still ok on Tuesday.

Pom bears and coco pops though are now absolutely shite

You didn’t pick up the 45% less salt version? Because I did that thinking they’d just messed with the original but turns out it was a different product (and definitely did taste different), original was still there too.

Notonthestairs · 24/02/2023 17:43

Thank you Flange - I'll load up my trolley whilst I still can.

GlassBunion · 24/02/2023 17:44

Mini Cheddars.
They need to taste cheesy .

That’s what I’ve got yes. There wasn’t anything else so I thought it was just a complete change.

Discos are the only salt and vinegar crisps that still live up to the glory days. A grab bag of them and the lining of my mouth is gone for a good week!

SleekMamma · 24/02/2023 17:46

Yeah its to cost save, reduce portion size and possibly put the price up too.
