Brands and products you miss, that went out of business or changed

397. See, that's the problem, though.

I fully expect them to do that, and to charge twice as much for it. That is the pattern Unilever and other large food corporations have been following for their products: They degrade the quality of the original product. Then they introduce a "superior" alternative (actually the same quality that the original used to be...) that they charge twice as much for.

Take yogurt for an example. Regular yogurt used to be thick and creamy, with real fruit and a dairy taste. They deliberately changed the formula of the regular yogurt to make it soupy and full of artificial flavors and chemicals. Then they introduced "Greek" yogurt, which has the same good quality of the original normal yogurt, at twice the cost.

They've done this with soups, cookies, crackers, chocolate, you name it.

It's a business trick to get people to either pay twice as much for the same quality, or settle for a degraded, cheaper-to-manufacture product.
