    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…

        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…

          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

              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…
