They should use maybe 3/4ths of the amount of flavor they do. It’s overwhelming, and burns my tongue if I eat large amounts of them in one sitting.
That being said, I don’t eat junk food much anymore anyways. Prices are sky high, portions are pathetic, and it’s not like I wouldn’t be he healthier without it.
The problem is you remember eating it as a kid. Drinking lots of Coke/Pepsi/mountain dew, hostess cakes, and all that other over flavored, ultra processed food covered with sugar and salt.
Now, as you’ve grown, your taste buds aren’t used to the barrage and it’s just too much to enjoy the nostalgia. Probably because they’ve steadily increased the additives to make it more appealing to an increasingly desensitized palette.
I feel the same way. I eat much healthier, feel better, and save nostalgia for movies instead of food.
I’m actually surprised this is an unpopular opinion. I guess a lot of people here are early 20s? It’s easier to get back into the processed enjoyment mode then, maybe.
