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

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.

This made me laugh more than anything I've read recently on AH

The cinema as a precursor to a night out, now it IS a night out, its more expensive than going on the lash.

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.
