Yes, I have lost, literally lost things I liked to buy at the grocery, due to changed packaging.
One time I had to Google images for a 20 minutes to find old images, then write down the brand/ type.
Another, the package changed, and the new package stated some strange "new" ingredient, which left me struggling to know if the flavour changed.
I honestly would just prefer a package never changes for my entire life.
Edit: also, I don't want my favourite food to be "new and improved!". Leave it alone!
- andrewmcwatters 5y agoIf you're not aware, "New and improved" generally means the product was changed to reduce ingredient costs. So hopefully I've ruined the "meaning" for you.
- b112 5y agoYes, but not reduce my angst.
- yuters 5y agoWhat I feel like can happen with these changes is they'd probably push this as "See how much money we've saved by using these ingredients instead and the change in taste is barely noticeable!". Then they'll go through this process 10 times in the span of years and you'd end up with something that taste completely different than the original.
- geoduck14 5y agoLikewise. My wife once sent me to the store to buy Cheerios and Honey Crisp Apples. I grabbed the Cheerios, then, still on the cereal isle, I looked everywhere for thr Honey Crisp Apples - before I realized the Apples were apples in the produce department
- cercatrova 5y agoI don't understand your comment about the apples, why wouldn't apples be in the produce department?
- shkkmo 5y agoHis brain cross connects with honey bunches of oats and still thought he was looking for cereel I guess?
- saagarjha 5y ago"Honey Crisp Apples" sounds like a cereal, presumably.
- b112 5y agoI think Apple Honey Crisp was a cereal at one point... And the Honey Crisp apple is very new. Even though released in the 1990s, it takes decades for production to grow, and, for other regions to get cultivars and start selling them too. Then on top of all that, for most people to even know about new apple flavours, it must compete for space at the grocery...
