Did they change the formula for this? They dont taste that good anymore

[Deleted member 5865]

Not the fat-free version btw, Im talking about the regular ones. Now it feels like im just eating boring lukewarm fish out of a can instead of a fun snack. Im going to have to survive off of ramen and cookies again because there's no decent stuff in these local gas stations now that the tuna snacks suck smh

Not worth the clickbait title...so I'm going to add another product...
Otter pops...had one recently, and it just wasn't the same. Granted the one I had didn't have the characters on the pops...so, really, the warning signs were there from the start.

the ones they sell at costco don't have any coloring on them and who knows what else they changed.

 

[Squarehard]

The old formula was crack.

 

[nsilvias]

When Reese's Puffs first came out in the '90s they were awesome; several years later up through current times, they fucked it all up. Has this gross greasy, filmy mouthfeel that wasn't present in the OG.

And yes they did, they went from using to using some byproducts of the cheese making process. Which is a shame, loved eating these with some chicken in a biskit.

Its not your imagination. I feel like the old one was sweeter, while the new one is just....whatever. I still havent finished the bottle I bought awhile ago, I dont really enjoy it

Bring back the old Butterfingers.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups changed a few years ago. I think it's a regional thing because I've had decent ones elsewhere, but the peanut butter they use here is dry and tastes like honey. It's turned the best chocolate snack into one of the worst.

Jennie O Turkey Burgers tasted better a decade ago. They are much less flavorful now and taste like they were soaked in water before being frozen.

Birds Eye Southwest Protein blend tasted better about 3 years ago. They nerfed the seasoning and it tastes wack out the package.

Dallas BBQ also switched their turkey burger supplier about a decade ago. They were the best restaurant turkey burger back in the mid 00s and went from godly to good.

Adding to this and know they changed it. KFC hot wings. They're like way saltier now. I remember they were just right with a little kick. This happened in Dec 2019 apparently

Reese's peanut butter cups for me. Used to love them now I can't stand them.


Edit: Just saw IcyBlueStrawberry's post. That would explain it.

 

[Chaos-Theory]

The Easy Cheese in a can is not the same now as I remembered as a kid in the 80s.

I also agree with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfingers.

100%

Makes me think there was something very wrong with the original formula.

I guess there's a reason why I stopped eating these

Use to love it. I feel like its a little too spicy now. Still good tho.

 

[SapientWolf]

I remember when they changed Tang and somehow found a way to make it taste even worse. It was so bad they had to change it back.

Chipotle Burritos used to be the size of a newborn baby. They're just large burritos now.

They changed pepper suppliers. Ever since, it's tasted different.

didn't they have to change the chili supplier?

Pepper grower awarded $23.3 million in Sriracha lawsuit

Underwood Ranches, based in Camarillo, was the sole supplier of chili peppers for Sriracha for nearly three decades until 2017.

things probably changed somewhat.

 

[RecRoulette]

Most of the foods you liked or used to like aren't as good anymore because of companies finding ways to maximize profits

 

[BarringGaffner]

Everything gets worse to squeeze out more profit. If not taste then amount.

Holy smokes, it's been a long time since I thought about these. I didn't know they still made them. Shame they're mot the same

For me it's mayonnaise, at least in America. I guess sometime in the 90's 00's all American Mayo brands changed formula. I actually didn't even realized it. But when I had Kewpie mayo for the first time I was like holy shit, I know that taste, this is what mayo used to taste like.

Now all I buy is Kewpie mayo.

Loss of taste is a symptom of Covid. Op, you should def get tested.

Most of these are still good but, yeah, sometimes Reese's just aren't good for some reason. Higher ratios of bad ones with the Halloween fun sizes. I think it maybe that some are frozen for long periods of time and then thawed for sale.

Cadbury Creme Eggs, at least in the US, changed formulas or chocolate type or something about 10 years ago and have not been the same since. They're also smaller now.
