Changing Lime skittles to DISGUSTING green apple. :(

Edited 2016-10-22 20:45 (UTC)

Yes! Ugh. Green and orange used to be my favorite. Now i can't even eat Skittles because I only like half the flavors (also hate the grape ones).

more for me, screw lime

Ugh, yes. This goes double for Sweet Tarts.

+1

Lime skittles were my favorite. Now I don't even bother with skittles.

Here, here!

Skittles original were an addiction of mine since I was a kid. Having the grape ones was bad enough, but then changing lime, one of my faves, to green apple? Ewww...

I know they still put lime ones in other kinds of Skittles ("Darkside" and "Orchard" so far). But it's just not the same.

Way back when, I used to love nutri-grain. (Like, in the late 90's, early 00's?) Then they made them very gross.

I used to really love these Smart Ones cookie dough ice cream dessert things. Then a few years ago suddenly they started tasting different and kind of gross. Now if I want something ice cream but am trying to be more healthy I go for Skinny Cow mint chocolate cones.

There's a few "light" type drinks changed to Stevia as a sweetener, and I'm allergic to it (some Nestea ice teas did, I rather liked those)

I hate Stevia and Splenda. They both taste gross to me.

I went off Lipton iced tea for this reason. They changed their formula, removed some sugar, added stevia... but I feel they did not take out enough sugar, and over-all the drink is sweeter, and I dislike it.

Due to my digestive problems (I get heartburn if I eat too much sweet stuff), I have grown accustomed to drinking less sweet drinks - I don't drink sodas at all and favour iced tea because they are milder. So with that in mind, an iced tea that ends up sweeter due to trying to be healthier, that is just annoying for me.

Luckily a new brand came up not long after, an Aussie brand. I'm just a bit annoyed because it seems now that stores have stopped putting it in the chilled drinks fridges.

I used to grow stevia back when I had a big herb garden, and while I don't mind stevia sweetened soda, the fresh herb, as in right off the plant, used to make me feel a bit queasy, even in small amounts--enough to sweeten tea.

Changing Burger King's chicken tenders into ripoff McDonald's chicken nuggets. That was the only thing I used to eat there and now there's nothing I like.

Another one is making Lunchables healthy. When I was a kid I loved all of the non-cracker lunchables, like the pizza and treatza, hot dogs, burgers, cinnamon rolls, etc. Now that they're trying to please all of the health-conscious parents, they taste awful. Hate to break it to you, but lunchables still aren't as good to give your kids as you think they are, what with all the preservatives.

Same goes for the Kid Cuisine tv dinners. They used to have a huge line of them (loved the holiday one with cookie dough snowmen) and now it's barely anything. Again, my favorites weren't the healthiest, and those are the ones they got rid of first. Last I checked all they had was chicken nuggets with fruit snacks, corn and macaroni.

Huh, you just reminded me that lunchables used to have the chocolate sauce + m&m pizza...I still eat lunchables sometimes.

Used to really like Fresca soda; it's 'grapefruit' soda. Now it just takes like Sprite, only sweeter, instead of like tangy, sour grapefruit. So sad.

I used to love Fresca too. I got it like a month ago and didn't like it and thought that it was just something weird in that bottle or my tastes had changed. I'm kinda glad to know it wasn't just me, that there was actually something different. So sad, though, as I thought it was great before.

One of the local ice cream brands used to have the most amazingly delicious chocolate glaze. My vocabulary's not big enough to sufficiently describe how good it was. But then they changed the recipe and the new glaze is not only nothing special, but has a weird bitter-y aftertaste.

My favorite cheese crackers suddenly changed the cheese into something different (probably cheaper) and completely revolting. Haven't bought them since.

The "new and improved" toilet paper. Improved, my ass. Not coming anywhere near mine again.

Some company bought the rights to Petromalt (hairball remedy gel for cats) and changed the Malt formula/flavor a bit; now my cat refuses to eat it! She used to love the damn thing. >:(

The cheap brand of shredded cheese changed from powdered cellulose to potato starch. I can't eat potatoes.

Oh and Hershey's chocolate changing some of their products to natural flavors. I tried a piece in hopes it wouldn't have allergens in it, but I was sadly proven wrong.

Also Kraft Mac and Cheese changing from artificial colors to natural colors, again, allergies.

Any time I lose yet another convenience food it's so sad.

Cadbury Eggs don't taste as good as they used to, though I will still buy one at Easter for the sake of tradition.
7up tastes horrible to me now.
My Mom stopped getting the Frostys from Wendy's when they switched from the yellow cup to a see-thru plastic cup because it tasted different.

Pie Five dropped their whole grain crust. Haven't been back since.

Going old school for this, but...

When Herbal Essences dropped their Intensive Blends line and created a new line of completely disgusting, shitty hair products. Technically they still do have the "old" HE products but I'm at a point where I've sworn off of sulfates, so...

Also, just when I had acquired a taste for the the light Italian dressing made by the Paul Newman brand, they changed it to some godawful bucket of watery elf jizz and slapped on the name "Dynamite Lite." It was gross, like taking foul water and putting a few squirts of vinegar into the mix.
