Classic Foods That Don't Taste the Way They Used to Plus Foods | Miss
I MISS FLAVOR! Remember McD's soggy fries??
Sorry - had to call attention to some of my faves documented as "modified" as a result of the increased awareness & regulation of food ingredients to improve public health - obviously, this is not a new development, but I find myself still craving the flavorful snacks from the past. I don't even buy Chicken in a Biskit, Vegetable Thins, or Hamburger Helper as they are now sooooo bland to me. Disappointing. I mean I get the health-related changes: reduction of trans fats, changes in cooking oils, sodium reduction in processed foods, changes in ingredients and formulations (changes in sugar content, flours, etc.). But these changes impacted the flavor, texture, and overall sensory experience of the food. Speaking for myself, i would forego the changes in food formulations that may save me approx 1 to 2 years of life expectancy to enjoy these again. There are more, I know, but these stuck out for me. The last 3 are discontinued products I loved.
