I just bought a little beef jerky. Haven’t had any in quite a while. It was supposed to be spicy. What I got was something sweet, rubbery and gummy, with barely a hint of heat. (In the US) W.t.f.
When I was a kid, jerky was dry AF, thin, salty, tooth-rippingly tough sometimes, never sweet unless you specifically got a teryaki flavor or something. If you wanted spicy, it was covered in pepper and your mouth would be on fire after just a couple pieces. It was awesome.
Now it’s sugary and chewy. Why people gotta put sugar on everything? Can’t find that dry, thin, peppery stuff anywhere.
What food of yours has disappeared or been wrecked in order to appeal to more people?


Ecto Cooler Kool Aid.
Ecto cooler was Hi-C.
That’s how long it’s been since the stuff was around; can’t even remember the actual brand. Either that or I keep changing dimensions. What do you call the Bearenstien Bears here? Is Neslon Mandella alive or dead?
I was looking for this one. I miss Ecto Cooler with Slimer on the packaging :(
