Stop changing the bloody recipe!!

[Soubriquet]

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!!

A while ago a diabetic here was talking about some sweet they used to buy when nearing hypo and they were now with sweeteners.
My dad used to carry fructose sweets. I hope these will not be hit. They were powdery dissolved quickly and were great help when he was changing insulin brands so had sugar all over

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned as I haven’t read all the posts, but the HFSS (High Fat Salt and Sugar) regulations are coming in, and for producers, this means they can’t promote ‘on end’ which is a massive volume shifter. So they are all making the move to get in line with those regulations so they can continue to run those price promos
in this very lucrative location within major retailers and multiples (I work in food marketing)

Smarties! Are nothing sacred. I feel he same way about this as when they moved Songs of Praise out of the Sunday tea time slot. I don't even like Songs of Praise but something's just shouldn't be messed with.

Yes! They used to melt in your mouth. Now they're awful. 1st world problems but still 😂

@PonyPatter44

The day Tayto change the recipe of their cheese & onion crisps, though, is the day i book a one-way ticket to Dignitas.

@RumNotRun You can’t. Even the ‘classic’ version has sweeteners in it now. The only way you can get the original is to import it yourself from Europe. Or go on holiday to Italy and drink it there.

The Moser Roth stuff from Aldi is still pretty good.

I can also recommend Aldi S n V Pop Outs - massive Sn V hit 😀

I react badly to a type of artificial sweetener so have to be really careful these days after some recipes were changed due to the sugar tax (I really wouldn’t often have soft drinks but there is one in particular I’m sad about not being able to have now).

my DH is still bitter about Special K being ‘new and improved’. Not improved just ruined.

Pretzels.. cannot find a packet of them that are even vaguely salty enough these days!

Orangina was always vile over here! Ionly ever drank it when I was in France having made the mistake about 20 years ago of being excited to see it in one of our local supermarkets and buying it. Lots of extra sugar/sweetener and much kess fizzy. Just turned into a shit drink- just for us Brits because it's what we like apparently.

@cakewitch have you tried the ones in the Polish section of most supermarkets? They’re in a yellow pack. Sometimes they only have the stick shape(paluszki-apologies if the spelling is wrong), not the knot shaped. DH gets through loads of those. We have accidentally bought salt free ones once so you might need to check the pack.

I’m finding I buy less and less processed food now. The sugar tax has made it all but impossible to go into a shop and buy a treat can of fizzy drink. Other than coke, which I’ve never liked, they all have sweeteners in. I have to stock up with Cawston Press from Waitrose every so often.

Ritz are dreadful, most of the canned soups aren’t nice anymore. I bought some ready salted crisps the other day and had to add more salt.

Yes, there is a straight version! And other shapes.
Sometimes they are from other countries.
Paluszki, tycinky.
Conetu?

Costco has great pretzels.

Heinz Tomato Soup is a mere shadow of its former self. It's got a really horrible sweet taste, I'm assuming it's sweeteners instead of sugar. I miss the original, it was peak childhood soup. Sad days.

Yes, rolos! I bought some the other day. They were tiny and horrible. So disappointing.

Yes! bought a tin the other day for my daughter who was off school, it was somehow both bland and sickly. It was the comfort soup of choice in my childhood - and for my children too, but no longer.

Have been picking some up for DD. The four finger ones are in the chocolate bar aisle. The two finger packs are in the biscuit aisle, near the Penguins. Make it make sense!

Argh, MN lost my quote. This was about KitKats obvs

@fdgdfgdfgdfg golden wonder salt and vinegar still strip the lining of your mouth....absolutely love them!

That’s a shame I used to love it won’t bother now.

Yes - walkers cheese and onion '50% less salt, same great taste' stop lying, how can it remotely taste the same with half the salt, it doesn't! Yes to new versions but leave the old ones alone for the salt and sugar lovers among us

Does anyone else remember when Jammie Dodgers changed their recipe years back? theyve never tasted the same - and the texture is like sand now!

I yearn for them at times 😃😃
