What's not as good as it used to be?

OutlawPete

Just had some Chocolate Polo biscuits there and they were just a shadow of their former glorious selves. They used to have a nutty texture, almost golden brown in colour wand a had hint of treacle after taste about them. Now they taste bland and sickly sweet. What's with the "skimmed milk" too? Or the "glucose syrup"? These were NOT in Chocolate Polos when I was a kid, no sir-e-bob. They've ruined one of my favourite treats so they have!

Hairy pussies. Where have they gone? Now I'm by no means knee deep in the ladies or anything, but some foolish souls have been kind enough to spend time in my company and as sure as sure can be: hairy vaginas are without question, a diminishing commodity. I would go far as to say that they are all but extinct at this stage. Now, I love a waxed fun bun as much as the next guy but sometimes you just want some old school 70's bow chikka wow wow pussay. I miss 'em so I do, bring 'em back!

What do you think is not as good as it used to be?

Roses sweets were so much better tasting years ago.

Saturday morning cartoons, Spongebob aside, which is still actually funny, kids shows these days suck.
the 80's and 90's gave us stuff like Transformers, Thundercats, Animaniacs, The Tick, Earthworm Jim, Duck Tales, M.A.S.K, He-Man, Bravestarr, Dungeons and Dragons, Tiny Toons, Gummi Bears, Ren & Stimpy, Fresh Prince, Trap Door, Saved By The Bell and endless others, these days kids have Pokemon (is it even still on?) and other assorted soulless "collect these monsters/cards/creatures" cartoons.

Product shrinkage is what annoys me the most...

New and improved recipes for products, yeah right. Means the manufacturer found cheaper ingredients and hopes the consumer thinks it tastes better by telling them its improved...:rolleyes:

The Irish music scene has gone to hell too...

Has to be cadburys roses.
Used to be at Christmas I would specifically ask for a tin of Roses to be bought.
Now I ask for anything as long as its not Roses.

They have a common theme though: both being something I wish had the consistency that they used to.

You like picking the crumbs of chocolate polos from women with hairy pussies?

And both being something you can dunk in your tea.

Arcades. Years ago they had atmosphere, now they're all full of crane games and racing machines. Give me dank, smoky seaside arcades with shady blokes behind the change counter, ould wans pumping their pension into the 5p slot machines and endless rows of games like Double Dragon, Kung-Fu Master, Golden Axe, Bubble Booble and Street Fighter 2.

also a fiver would do you for the day on 20p a go games, plus feed you seaside chips and icecream all day.

I have also noticed this, they probably only feed one because most of them now only cost 2 euro. Pizzas are dirt cheap lately.

Chris P. Bacon

Super splits.

Yakult

Most food.
Everything is reduced fat or fat free nowadays and it takes away from the taste big time.
Just because of people over indulging...

Music. The public is being force fed absolute ****, untalented music where the videos might as well be porno's and lyrics that don't even make sense bar maybe one line. The rest is gibberish.

music fans too, people protesting a rock band isn't paying their taxes? seriously? talk about going against what rock and roll is meant to be.

Dinner Boxes from the chippy. I remember a dinner box would cost £3.50 and would feed two! Now its over twice the cost and half the chips!

Pretty much everything was better when you were younger. Thats the nature of life. Rose tinted glasses and all that jazz. But in response to the OP, I would say . . . . Alicia Silverstone :cool:
