I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

Most recently, Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies. I used to love the things and they were a nostalgic part of growing up, so I randomly decided to buy a box a few weeks back.
Took two bits of one and threw the whole box away. They were nasty. Chemically tasting, dry, full of little hard bits from poorly milled oats, etc. pure garbage. And this is not a matter of my tastes changing. I remember exactly how those are supposed to be, and the modern version is crap.
I swear hot pockets used to taste better when I was a kid too, but I’m not convinced that it isn’t just my changing tastes. Does anyone know? Did they actually change their recipe?
I agree, along with pizza rolls. They all have a chemical taste to them nowadays.
Just like Cadbury cream eggs. Back in the day, every now and then you’d get one where the chocolate didn’t form a seal properly and it ruined the interior because the goo dried out. Today, that’s just how they make them.
For anyone younger than like 25, who never got a chance to try the good version, it used to be a goo that would run, like you could use your teeth to open up the top of the egg and then drink some of the goo from there (it was very thick, so it would stick to the sides instead of all coming out).
Wow! My sister got me a pack at Christmas 2 years ago since she remembered me loving them as a kid, and they were just as I remembered. I wonder what changed in 2 years, or if you just got a bad batch.
That sounds awful!
Oh my God, right?! They are sooo dry now! I can look past big oats but so dry and some kind of metallic taste even in the cream.
I don’t know what happened.
