    Yeah, they taste like sadness. You think they are going to be rich and flavorful but they are mostly bland and overly sugary.

    Idk if my memory is fucked up or if they were better as a kid.

      They were better. Optimisation is filling everything with palm oil and other cheap replacements. Few ingredients may be hard to notice, but it all gets optimised to the point of inedibility. We have full shelves with hundreds of choices for those all to be sad and gross. Not to mention bad for the farmers and the environment.

      They’re bland for the same reason little pink hot dogs are bland. They’re for little kid taste buds.
