As well as a lot of good old products vanishing from the shelves, it disappoints me how many traditional products have been "bought" up by big companies and immediately altered for the worse. HP Sauce was never the same after taken over by the dutch - darker & doesn't taste the same. Brillo Pads - always used them - supermarket look-a-likes nowhere as efficient. Now taken over by a conglomerate - useless. Andrews Liver Salts - grew up with these in the cupboard! Round metal tin - instantly recognisable and it worked. Taken over by a conglomerate - now in narrow plastic container - half the quantity & twice the price & doesn't work as well.
Oh dear, is my age showing or are many traditional products not as good as they used to be? I'm sure there are lots of examples you can think of?
