Do you panic when you see "New and Improved" on your favourite product?
Well, on this day in 1985, Coca-Cola announced that they would be reintroducing the "old formula" after an attempt to change it failed miserably. It got us thinking; what else has changed over the years? What tasted differently back in the day? We asked, and you told us!
Hi Phil & Paula. What about the packet sweets like Frosties, Silvermints, Refreshers, Black Jacks and Fruit Salads? They have all changed since I was a kid, and not for the better. Kevin in Laois
Hi Phil ! Well myself & my sis are convinced that Cadburys Milk Tray ain't the same ! Tess
Hotlips have changed - they have no taste anymore. John
Used to love Cornflakes but now they taste like paper. Paul'
Wagon wheels and Monster munch have definitely changed over the years :( Colm in Carlow
Philip, Choc Ice used to have proper ice cream, Super Splits used to taste of oranges!! Amy in Athlon
Aoife Collins: The new Tayto Snax are horrible, they used to be "fluffier", and don't get me started on the new Freaky Foot ice cream!!
Aoibheann Ní Dhuibhlinn: Monster Munch and Rocket ice pops. Oh Fanta as well
Mary Flannery: All the chocolate bars are smaller than they used to be, even the Yorkie!!!!
Sean in Dingle got a bit confused about what we were talking about: I bought peanuts a few months ago and on the packaging was written 'Warning- may contain traces of nuts'.
And on Facebook, Karen Murphy told us: Cool pops - they have no flavour anymore.
They may have no flavour anymore, but they saved the life of Sweet Brown. Cold Pops for everyone!
