there is a unique kind of disappointment that comes with having some of your favorite childhood snacks you haven't had in years only to find they are shells of their former selves

rip staple lunchbox candies like fruit by the foot they somehow made you even thinner than you used to be

Oh god, this. Even stuff I’ve had semi-regularly and have noticed it changing for the worse, it’s heartbreaking.

Hello Pandas and Koala :c

Cookie Crisp cereal is one that comes to mind. And Tastykakes.

what did they do to tastykakes?

They’re just not the same. It’s hard to describe. They’re not bad, just different in a way that kills the nostalgia.

And hey to a fellow South Jerseyite! I’m from Woodbury.

i'm an adult now i can eat ALL of the zebra cakes!

and then they suck

are the portion sizes just smaller or am i just bigger

(is it both)

it's both.

my big one are those crunchy little chow mein noodles. I used to love them... and then they changed the flavor or something, and I remember it happening a good many years back; I could tell the difference. I was kinda heartbroken.

not a snack, but definitely something I miss from when I grew up.

Oh god I love those noodles. They really are different but I still like them.
