I bought some Jacob's Cheeselets in a can yesterday. They are much skinnier and more flaky than they used to be. I remember when they were thicker and a darker colour, and probably less salty.
What other foodstuffs have you bought that just isn't the same as it was 'in the old days' ?

Are my hands bigger or have Mars bars/ Wagon wheels been reduced in size ?

Well Cadbury's Creme Egg's have definitley shrunk in size, well I think they have.

Mulitpack chocolate like Twixes, Drifters etc is half the size it used to be.

Uncle joes are not as big.
Never get as many crisps in a packet anymore.

Slightly OT, but what has happened to Seabrooks crisps?

The prawn cocktail ones used to be bright pink and would take a layer of skin of your mouth there was that much salt and flavoring on them.

No they are all pale and tasteless.

Sad times indeed

I love my food, I love cooking as well..!
I recently banned supermarket meat from our house (Asda is the worst), tasteless watered down crap, full of fatty chunks...regardless of what you buy.
We started going to the butchers for our meat on a weekly basis......bloody awesome! A little bit dearer but the quality is superb, plus once you go a few times your butcher gets to know you and 'you get a bit extra' for your money. It pays to be cheeky with them, ask if they have any deals that week....!! We got 22 massive chicken breasts for £28, froze them and it lasted most of the month!!

I watched a documentary a while back, stated approx 100 butchers are shutting up shop every week due to supermarkets.....I can't rate them highly enough (and no I'm not one touting for business, haha)!

Waggon wheels! skate board wheels more like!

Fun size chocolates are DEFFO not fun.

Small Pringles, they were 50 grams, then 43 grams now 40 grams, and the price has risen.

How long is left before the season starts?

Bottles of wine, shrunk beyond recognition

This 100 times. We either go to the village butchers, who to be fair is a bit more expensive than most butchers. Or to Preston indoor market. There's a stall in there that does amazing meat and it doesn't work out much more than the supermarkets at all.

Crunchies have disappeared from the face of the earth

along with Spiras!!!

Same here and tbh it isn't that much more but the quality is 100x better

I get called a food snob but i dont care how anyone can eat them 2 chickens for £5 needs there heads testing (if they can afford it)

I can still remember Marathon bars!

We started buying our meat from Westin Gourmet ([urlhttp://www.westingourmet.co.uk/[/url) after my missus won a competition with them through BBC good food. The quality of the meat is superb (chicken that actually tastes of something) and actually works out cheaper than the supermarket.

We just buy the meat and cut it up and freeze it. I had great fun hacking up a 5KG sirloin loin in the kitchen.

its ridiculous that were led to believe in this fear of everything will kill us if we eat it, whatever we do were on doompath i recently was told by my dentist to not eat to much fruit and i brush my teeth to well and im wearing them down, you cant do anyting right anymore. on the topic i like to treat myself to an order of yank groceries i.e. cereal poptarts to remind me what were missing cant beat those applejacks

Semolina pudding with the green stuff they used to put in it at school...

I just like holding them now they're smaller pretending i'm a giant.

Whatever happened to Spangles ?? used to love them especially the Old English ones

Tbh i dont care about what all them guys say about this hurts you and that does fact is if you got a ready meal and the same meal home made it isn't even close on taste thats what matters to me

Meat from supermarkets is crap compared to a proper butcher

nothing...........they sell em in asda, tesco, morrissons and the pound shop.
