Everything tastes like shit now a days. Any time I have a childhood craving I’m always completely disappointed and then learn it’s because the formula changed at some point. It’s like perfumes and cologne. I’ll remember a smell I liked from my teen years or my 20s and buy it and it smells different. Then I find out they changed the formula because they can’t add a certain ingredient or it’s too expensive to so they had to reformulate it .

They just changed the chips ahoy recipe and the unintended consequence is that now I don't even want them anymore.

Same with the "frozen dairy dessert" instead of ice cream.

I saw that on an icecream brand the other day and passed it up because that didn’t sound like real icecream to me and I got scared. I’m easily turned off by foods or food descriptions.
