…she cheated…

just imagine: from Rice Krispies to Rye Krispies

You’ll be running for the bathroom 30% more often.

New and improved—like New Coke!

they did that to Cocoa Puffs but then gave up. Who in their right mind would buy Cocoa Puffs as a healthy option anyway?

That’s what you get for peeking, Alice.

Alice sensing it even with 30% less sugar means her sensory power has increased 30%

She must have picked Blammos for adults.

What was that about sugar and spice and all things nice?

who knows… :(

30% less sugar, but still 51% sugar & HF corn syrup.

Im one of those people that hate when such things change. Like I want to spend the time and effort figuring out a new option? When i want to reorder it 5 years later it needs to be there!

If you’re uncomfortable with change at age 4, just imagine how many changes you’ll have seen by age 40.

Of course, at some point, one actually takes a bit of satisfaction in griping about how things aren’t as they used to be.

I’ve heard good things about Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs

Does anyone else remember how Cheese-its used to taste? I’ve lost count of how many new varieties they have now. None of them have the original taste.

Well she can always try the new improved Honey Coated Sugar Bombs if Blammo is now Bland-o.

Kraft Dinner ca. 1954 was much better than today’s Kraft Dinner. (IMHO)

i ask that all the time when they change some about a product i always buy. they should ask their customers first before the present us with a “New and Improved” product.

They changed “Sugar Pops” to “Corn Pops.” I would have been up in arms about it if I had been Alice’s age.

That’s an impressive trick. Does it (or did it) have a distinctive bouquet?

I was (am) a weird kid, I used to love Grape Nuts. Mom wouldn’t buy us sugar laden cereal; of course I added plenty of sugar to the grape nuts, and a little cinnamon.

I felt the same way when they discontinued Sugar Jets…!

Blammos! “They” do that to all the Good Stuff, don’t they, Alice? I remember how MacDonald’s fries changed: supposedly healthier, but in reality just way less tasty….

I often wonder why they fix what isn’t broken.
