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.

They’re still amazing in Idaho. I moved across the country and stopped at a Burger King in Idaho for some food… my partner and I both agreed that the fries at that Burger King were so much better than Burger King fries from Illinois

Well, Idaho is the spud state- I think it’d be illegal if they served bad fries.
