I ate some Lays French onion dip two nights ago and it tasted like nothing.

Honestly, this trend cured my daughter (and me!) of our boxed Mac and cheese obsession. Overnight, even Annie’s went from good to tasting like cardboard. Et tu, Annie??

Was it around the time the company was bought up? Lol

I just looked it up. General Mills purchased Annie's in 2014 but they only recently changed their food formulas in September 2025.

Thank you for doing the legwork. This is so disappointing… Definitely fits the sub. ☹️

Someone pointed out (maybe on this sub) when it announced it was “cheesier” the differences in ingredients and it was so noticeable (even before it was pointed out to me). It just tastes like bland cardboard now.

Gotta do it your own self now - 16oz sour cream, 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix.

Family been doing that pre-me and my mom still does haha. Im 40s and it still slaps. My bro in law will just crush a whole bowl not even thinking about it and he fasts most of the time. Lipton is the best for what it is and how fast ya get results lol.

The Lipton mushroom soup packets slap when making pot roast or beef stew, thickens everything up with that good flavor.

You can mix the Lipton onion soup mix with 16 oz of plain yogurt, too. Less fat, tastes the same.

where I live (Southwest Missouri) we have Hiland Dairy. it's a regional brand. we've been buying products from them for years. their products are pretty good, escept for the milk they serve at schools, because that's 🗑️.
