you notice things. have not had bob evans sausage in over a yr. Bought a pack a week ago and made some this morning. Definitely not the same thing.

We have all noticed store bought veggies are totally different than home grown

same with fruits, etc

yep, Ive noticed the difference....esp since I stopped drinking soda for so long and coffee for 6 months...it taste a whole lot different now when I taste it...makes it easier not to go back to it.

I've noticed that too. I wonder if it's the same product/brand, if the people running the company have changed, recipe changes, ingredient sources different? Or, sometimes I think that maybe my taste is the thing that has changed.

I think they are changing the products somehow. Finding more and more ways to cheapen them up.

I think thats part of....Do you remember the zingers when you were little...those cakes with the red gel type frosting and coconut all over them....They were so delicious when I was growing up, and bazooka bubblegum was the best....now they taste terrible...but my kids think they taste great.
I think another part of it is also that our taste get different as we grow older. Every year for christmas when I was growing up, my mom would make a polish dish called grolovnik.... we kids hated it... wouldnt eat it for the world, but now its a family tradition for me and my sisters, and we all love it... cant wait to make it..

tastes do change, but I think they have changed the products. had a burger in costa rica and it tasted like burgers did when i was little. Mainly becuase they free range their beef.
