Til in 2013 the Pringles man was officially named Julius
Good comic.
And man… Pringles used to be a guilty pleasure of mine, once upon a time.I know, super-salty, highly-processed, and heated / fried awfully (just like “Bugles” and “Munchos”), but taste-wise GOOOOD.
Bah. These days, all three taste like arse, now.
mexican pringles are pretty good the adobados however its spelled and lime habenero are ocassional buys, the hot ones collab wasnt bad either, I ahte their base flavors that theyve had forever
Munchos, oh my god. The best tasting trash on the planet. I don’t care what rules about healthy foods we come up with, they better always allow Munchos to exist.
Hahaha… someone who gets it. <3
I wonder why? Just taste buds changing as you get older, or more exposure to alternatives?
I suppose also that the flavors themselves might have changed over time, but there are plenty of people that love them now, probably.
I’ve noticed that in the past five years, things just seem to be less flavourful to me. I wonder if that does have anything to do with COVID
there’s still lots of stuff that tastes fucking delicious. but every now and then I eat something and it’s just flat. doesn’t taste like anything.
also, snack food is shit nowadays, that’s not me, we know corporations cheap out any way they can, and lots of snack food now and inevitably just tastes like shit as a result
like chips, I’ve always fucking loved chips. even cheap stuff. but nowadays even some of the name brands don’t really taste like anything. it has to be because they’re fucking up the recipes, because I can make chips at home that taste better
Pringles, I swear the flavour is getting weaker over time. They must be cheaping out and getting stingy with the flavourings. Also twice as expensive.
Idk if it’s just my imagination or something, but I swear the flavoring on Pringles is a total crapshoot. One tube will be saturated in the flavor dust or whatever it’s called, and the next might be basically plain with a hint of flavor.
But even the “plain” pringles, I swear they used to be tasty as sin. Nowadays they feel like I’m chewing sawdust crackers or something…
Sounds about right.
They recently upped the amount of other starches and reduced the ratio of potato, they taste like wood chips ever since
Good question.
- Taste buds changing with age is deffo a legit concern.
- Retraining my diet & tastebuds over the years to reject salty, processed food is a factor.
- Failing memory? Also, a concern.
- But more likely of all, the core bastard of bastards? Enshittification.
Take “Corn Nuts,” for example…
Oh no… I’m afraid to ask. What happened to corn nuts?
Nono, that’s the outlier. That’s what I was trying to say, but maybe I messed that up?
Corn Nuts are still ‘magic, crunchiness in the mouth.’
They’re still amazing, as always. :D(there’s actually a chemistry-backstory behind all that, but that’s… a different convo for a different c/)
Dudes…
(there’s actually a chemistry-backstory behind all that, but that’s… a different convo for a different c/)
Look at this guy, edging us with science facts
Chemistry fascinates me, but I’m a complete idiot when it comes to explaining its mechanisms. If that’s “edging,” well then, color me infectuous! :D
At this point in my life, I’d love to be edged…
Ask your local AI.
I’m too stoopid to explain why Corn Nuts taste so incredible, while the competitors taste so arse. I’m not kidding! It has to do with chemistry…
But I’m not in a different c/
I think people are starting to understand what ultra processed foods inherently taste like. Salty but uniformly bland. I think people are understanding how they feel after eating them too.
Once you pop, the olestra runs don’t stop.
Don’t break the seal.
damn
I was trying to figure out how Orange Julius fit into all this.
Dangerously furry.
Y’know, I’ve heard of Tony the Tiger being people’s… “awakening”… but I never thought about Chester Cheeto being that way for someone. Dangerously furry, indeed.
Tony the Tiger has talked in the past about so many people having an attraction to him.
He said he’s GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRowing tired of being fetishized for what he is, rather than who he is.
Then he chased and killed a gazell.
What? He’s still a tiger! See? You’re only shocked because you don’t get to know him. He likes sugary cereal. He likes huge sums of money. And he likes long walks in the open plains that turn into a 70mph chase and kill as he rips the flesh and limbs of his recently killed prey right in front of their children.
It’s all in his biography.
I’m only shocked because tigers don’t generally chase their prey. They’re ambush predators.
So… The guy is from Pringles, the leopard from Cheetos, right? And what’s the car from?
I think Chester Cheetah just has a cool car. Pringles guy probably drives a factory original model -A. The girl likes Chester’s cool car.
Flaming hot cheetos
