alt Hacker NewsI’ve tried a few college treats like Hot Pockets and found they are really terrible. I was a bit ashamed that I could have possibly enjoyed something that bad.
The upside of shrinkflation is that you actually may have had great taste, it was the product that declined. It’s not just the portion size, the ingredients and flavor profile are much worse.
I feel the same way now about McDonald's and similar fast food. I used to love it when I was in my teens/20s; probably ate some kind of fast food almost every day. Now I think it's just awful. I haven't had a fast-food burger in years. I doubt the ingredients have changed much, but my tastes certainly have.
