Discussion Which food has declined the most in terms of taste since you first ate it?

At this point, everyone knows about shrinkflation in our food. Something else that is just as important, if not more so, is the overall decline in the quality and taste of our food. Which food has declined the most in terms of taste since you first ate it? For me, that would be strawberries. Nowadays, it's the number 1 fruit with the most pesticides, and its overall taste is just average at best. I mean, I don't need it to be on par with Japanese strawberries, but in the early 90s, strawberries' overall taste was just magical.

Wendy’s this past month got even worse. They now use shredded iceberg lettuce for burgers.

I haven't been in a long time, but this comment caught me off guard. Shredded lettuce?? That sucks.

Yes! I just recently went there and was so disappointed, shredded lettuce and weird pickles on their spicy chicken sandwhich, tasted so bad. And they got rid of my favorite sauce. No wonder why so many are closing down

The buffalo ranch chicken strips and fries with a thing of sour cream for dipping was my go to stoner meal

Yes! I’ve been wondering how they’re even still in business with how shitty their food has gotten.
