Tastes that have gone to sh1t

Sky King · 17-10-2018 07:52PM #1

Inspired by a post in another thread giving out about today's Lucozade (It's pure manky whatever they did to it in recent years, I used to love the stuff) as well as my own recent experience with the new yellow snack:

Has anyoone tried it? I used to love yellow snacks. The new ones are smaller (Ok its a bummer but I can get over this) but they also have a new taste which recalls a synthetic approximation of sugar mixed with cooking chocolate mixed with sh1t. Revolting.

Galaxy bars are manky now as well. As are yorkies. And don't get me started about the dairy milk.

Is nothing safe?? What's going on?

Lucozade now has an artificial sweetener to avoid the sugar tax.

This predates it.

Spicebags.

What the actual fook is the fascination with these ? Even heard Ivan Yates inform us today that they had been voted Ireland's favourite takeaway food.

Go and ask the back of my balls.

I've only had the one spice bag granted, but it was fcuk all to write home about. Bag of your typical Chinese fake chips, some meat textured stuff and a few bits of chilli and onion covered in a salty/spice mix, which I didn't find appealing I the slightest- and left me wondering what exactly the big fuss is on them any way

It's certainly no chicken Saag, pilau rice, garlic onion and coriander naan/ or even a battered sausage/burger and real chipper chips.

All fizzy pop is gone to shîte.

Smarties. All natural and taste like soap now.

Littlehorny · 17-10-2018 08:04PM

Tayto Snax, they improved the recipe to make them more natural, now they taste like crap. Give me back my chemicals!

I cry when I think of what they did to Creme eggs.

Yup, and Chipsticks. Basically all crisps really.

Cadbury Dairy Milk not the same as it was either.

Mint flavoured Durex have really gone to cr*p.

I had Mighty Munch lately and they were pretty spicey. I think they were very mild for a few years but are back like they used to be.

punisher5112 · 17-10-2018 08:33PM

I've said it before but Gateux swiss rolls...... Pure sh1t.

I emailed the vulture funds company and guess what no reply.

Did they not use to be called Monster Munch years ago?

Sorry to drag this off topic but in the '60s the Lucozade bottles came in yellowish plastic wrapping.
Motorists discovered that if they taped this wrapper around the car-headlamps, you had brilliant fog-lamps. Nearly every car and tractor had Lucozade wrapper attached to the lights!
Some Hospitals banned Lucozade if I remember correctly. I had a bottle confiscated when I went to visit a patient in Mullingar Hosp in the 70s. It was returned as I left by the Matron, with a lecture not to bring 'anymore of that stuff here in future!'

Nostalgia.

the common denominator for the majority of posts in this thread is the fact that American Multinational, Mondelez (formerly Kraft) bought Cadbury a number of years ago and to increase customer satisfaction shareholder profits, went about enhancing the recipes across the majority of products by using less cocoa with cheaper "filler" ingredients and using more sweeteners rather than sugar.

as you get older your taste buds degrade? has anyone thought of this as a possibility? would explain a lot. even though its quite sad.

Very surprised to hear that . Hospitals usually have Lucozade in the fridge to use to raise low blood sugar quickly
Mind you the blessed change in the amount of glucose now in Lucozade has caused problems for diabetics who use it for a low episode

Not a taste as such but Nik Naks used to be so much better years ago. Too light and puffy now.

Tastes that have gone to sh1t
