Changing the lime skittles to green apple. :(

Yup.

Saaaaaaame.

Black Forest gummy bears used to be the best, but they reformulated and now they're the worst :/

AHHHH. That totally explains why I got Black Forest gummy bears years ago and loved them, but got them again recently and they were just like regular gummy bears. I didn't realize they'd changed the formula. That sucks. :(

Just anything getting smaller. My dad works in a supermarket and he's forever grouching about products having stuff like 'NEW SMALLER PACKET' on them like it's a plus. Like GREAT, EVEN LESS OF THE THING I WANT FOR THE SAME PRICE! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

If one more person tells me that everything just seems smaller because I've gotten older, I will scream.

No, some items are definitely smaller. Personally, I prefer that they are so that I don't consume too much of the stuff, but I just wanted to say that it isn't your imagination, individual sizes have absolutely shrunk.

Yeah, I know it's not just me, but I know several people who are like "your hands have just gotten bigger." Uh, no. It's a fact that stuff is being downsized/decreased in amounts, it just grinds my gears when it's advertised like a good thing, lol. We sell Pokemon cards where I work, and when I was 10 and buying them every week you got 11 cards for £2.50, now it's £4.00 and you only get 10 cards. I know it's inflation as much as anything else and I sound like a bitter grandma, but eh.

I agree with you that it's good to keep you from consuming too much, though! I don't stuff myself with Jaffa cakes as often now.

Re: What product changes ruined the product for you?

When Newman's Own changed their light Italian dressing to something called "Dynamite Lite." They should have called it "watered down garlic oregano piss." Not surprisingly, it disappeared after a while.

The US Presidency.

I mean it wasn't perfect before, but....

Can we get a refund? Or an exchange?

I just feel like buyer's remorse isn't setting in nearly hard enough for a lot of people. If I were them I'd be appalled.

The Great Value canned spaghetti and meatballs added chopped onion. Blerg.

I just want my cheap-ass knockoff Chef Boyardee

And suddenly I'm interested. I usually had that sort of canned thing. But add onions? I'm in.

When Healthy Choice TV dinners got that "steam cooking" thing. It made the food taste terrible. Eventually either they changed something or I got used to it, because I can eat them now, but the first one I had I threw in the trash.

When I find a shampoo or a conditioner or skin care product that actually works for me and then they inevitably change the formula.

I'm old enough to remember new Coke from 1985. everybody hated it so they wised up and got rid of it. it tasted like old gum.

Tai Tai changed their packaging and changed the taste of their pot stickers. I hate them now. Their chicken fried rice is still good, though.

Shapes (flavoured crackers from NZ and Australia) had the recipe change last year. It was disgusting. Like, the taste of the cheese became super fake and the texture of the cracker changed. There was enough outrage that it didn't even last a full year before they changed the recipe back.

Avocados. Always bruised these days around here...and expensive on top of that. Maybe two bites if you work hard for it, and I don't want it after digging through the mushy bruises anymore. I stopped buying them.

They removed the Coffee Cream chocolate from the Pot of Gold chocolate boxes. I have never gotten over it. :'-(

I swear Dawn messed with their formula because it takes twice as much dish soap to get the same amount of suds as before. It also feels like it takes more time scrubbing the dishes to get them clean.

Cadbury Eggs in the USA are nasty now.

YES! Cadbury Eggs are sadly ruined now!

Fancy Feast made fish broth one of the top 3 ingredients in their canned fishy cat food and now it reeks to high heaven a day later in my fridge!(The cat loves it though.)
