You are absolutely correct. I love the Fastbreak bars. Amazing.

ITA m&ms are not as good as they used to be, I don't like them anymore. And Reese's holiday shapes always taste different to me, compared to the regular ones -

I think the chocolate alone tastes different, like rubberier or something.

Maybe they had to change the recipe in order to make the shape?

M&Ms definitely taste different. And those red ones (aside from any dye issues) are HORRIBLE.

I was JUST saying this to DH last night. I don't know if it's maybe the snack size or something, but I agree that the chocolate tastes "cheaper". I don't know how to describe it, but it has a different mouth feel.

OMG slightly offtopic but I LOVE the minis (unwrapped in a bag like m&ms or something). Sooooo good and too easy to throw back the full bag so quickly.

PP here - I'll have to go check out the reese's now! My guess is they're trying to cut costs.

I think the regular ones are the same, but the pumpkin or egg (at Easter) shaped ones always taste different to me and I cant eat them. I prefer the small ones though.

Have they changed their recipe? I haven't had them in awhile. We gave out the pumpkin shaped ones and I also swiped a regular one from DD's loot and they just don't taste right. Less peanut buttery, less dense, like there is more air mixed in or something. Such a disappointment. Not that this is a bad thing, at least it is keeping me from eating all the leftovers. Is it just me?
