[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t had those recently, but have noticed that other packaged treats don’t taste like they used to. How much of that is a changing palate and how much is changed ingredients though I don’t know.

[b]The last time I got Fruit Newtons I couldn’t believe how much they’d shrunk the individual “cakes” [/b](they’re fruit and cake, remember?). I remember them as being about two inches long and nearly as wide back in the day and they are now closer to one and a half inches long and proportionally less wide.

But I remember the package shrinkage during the recession under Bush.

Food companies suck. [/quote]

Have they actually shrunk, or are you just misremembering? Everything used to be smaller back in the day.[/quote]
I googled it. They shrunk them. http://wiredforweird.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-happened-to-my-fig-newtons.html

Do you not remember how much larger toilet paper rolls used to be? Those shrunk sometime in the last ten years, too. Like they shrunk the width of the roll and the individual squares used to be squares; they are now rectangles. [/quote]
