I don’t understand how they cant see that once we leave we leave. If you bite into that and hate it its a cycle broken and we we unlikely to trust the product ever again.
It’s what happened with Bassets Winegums. Used to be my absolute favourite candy. Wife came back from the UK with a box,I opened it and the taste was… Different. Googled - turns out they changed the recipe after being purchased by some large conglomerate. I haven’t had one of their candies since 13 years ago. Fucking idiots.
The cynic in me imagines that they switch away from real chocolate, everyone will hate it, they’ll release a new product line that proclaims it uses real chocolate, but charge a premium for it, and people will buy it.
i will have to give it up. it will be easier if its crap anyway. Learning to pay for what you actually want vrs you think you want are two different things.
There are plenty of companies still selling actual chocolate, and since it’s chocolate and not chocolate-flavoured sweets I think it’ll just become smaller and/or more expensive. Which is fine.

Stupidity and short term money.

The New Coke fiasco begs to differ.

Well if they all do it, who are ya gonna run to?
Trader Joe’s has giant Belgian chocolate bars, and far far better peanut butter cups with normal PB.
I eat candy because it tastes good. If it all tastes like shit they why should I eat it?

Ozempic!
That’s what happened to me and Oreo’s during the switch from soy oil to trans-fat-free oils. They were NASTY during that transition.
