They would have to admit that their current Orea has differed from the past despite being marketed as the same Orea that it always had been.

  But they definitely do this with sodas, occasionally bringing back the sugar formulation.

    In the context of this conversation they're both "junk food" so it makes sense to group them. But soda and cookies are quite different things and it makes some sense to me that people could have different consumption patterns and tolerance for change between them. I don't want to give them toooo much credit here but also I have to assume whatever industrial food giant owns all these brands has spent a lot of money on the question of how far they can cut costs on each individual thing without completely destroying the brand.

      Probably a good portion of the penny-pinching serves to keep up corporate profits rather than increased cost of ingredients. Not to mention all the processing, packaging, retail & marketing costs. Buy ingredients rather than ready-to-eat prepackaged foods, and you cut out the bulk of those non-essential costs.
