Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - They weren't quite as oily in the old days. I also seem to remember the cups having a bottom. Now the bottom often gets stuck to the wrapper.
Nacho Cheese Doritos - They seem to have changed the recipe in the last decade or so. They're not as bad as the off-brand nacho chips, but they have a weird zing to them that puts the flavour off, ever-so-slightly.

Maybe the foods aren't different, but you are. Your sense of taste does change with age.
I used to love certain foods than I can no longer stomach. For instance, I no longer like Chef Boyardee, Big Macs, whoppers, sour cream and bacon chips, and fruit punch.
edit: actually, I no longer like regular Doritos either
-
I can't eat mcdonalds. Used to love it when I was little but now I can't even walk into a restaurant without getting a vomit-burp taste in my mouth.
-
i still like the Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
-
non-suger-free gum
things that I just lost a taste for are pretty much most fast foods and junk foods. I feel like such a pussy for eating relatively healthy compared to how I used to.

I could tolerate McDonald's until about a month and a half ago, when I ate literally 6 (or was it 7?) cheeseburgers in downtown Munich in a 3 a.m. drunken fury that could only be fueled by 8 hours of boozing and chainsmoking beforehand. We then went to a strip club.
Anyway, long story short, I felt shittier from the McDonald's than from the booze, and my bathroom trips that day were interesting, to say the least.
-
Most sweets and junk food in general--potato chips, soda, sugary breakfast cereals, ice cream, and hard candy. Like Malek said, most of these have probably remained unchanged, but I just don't have any appetite for them.

Polack, SMH

Agree with the bolded. I think I was still in my teens when I lost the taste for those.
While I wouldn't go out of my way to eat Burger King or McD's I find it tolerable enough as long as I stay away from the 'special sauces' and fake ass cheese.
I still genuinely enjoy Harvey's hamburgers. And, yeah, fast food prices are a joke (at least here in Canada).
-
Another depresso thread, eh? Go dig some holes or some shit.
-
^wat
-
The sauce in Chef Boyardee products are not as sweet as they used to be. Now its some bland mess.
-
they have SHRUNK the beloved cadbury creme eggs.
-
Someone brought Chips Ahoy cookies to work the other day and holy shit they're the size of a quarter now.

Dry and not as much flavor as there used to be.
-
I ate that Chicken Biscuit breakfast thing at McDonalds this morning. Holy shit, the chicken has no flavor at all. It just tastes like one huge biscuit, freaked me out.

I thought I noticed this, but I wasn't sure if I was imagining things. The change happened two to four years ago, I think. It's a shame. :'(
-
hilariously they attempted to pass it off as "you've just grown up" when people mentioned it

Put a SHITLOAD of mustard on it.
Better yet, just go to Chick-Fil-A.

I live in Mass. the only one nearby is like 40 Miles away :( . I did eat one once, oh man the chicken puts the three major franchises to shame.

How can a grown man eat one of those without going into a sugar coma?
-
I was going to say, Cadbury Eggs are blah. The liquid is too surgary. Give me some Lindor Chocolates instead :-[

import the real ones
avoid the american ones
-
Most candy and fast food. My body doesn't feel good after eating it.
-
I feel like 15 years ago when Pizza Hut was more of a restaurant than a delivery/carryout chain, the pizza was killer. Just second to none. Crispy where it needed to be, soft where it needed to be, and with the bangingest toppings in the land.
Nowadays, utter garbage. Worst of the big three chains.
-
twinkies are fucking ass nowadays. little debbies' golden creams tasted better from what i remember, but i haven't had one in years. actually most hostess stuff tastes like crap now. such a shame
-

I've seen them for sale at Cost Plus before.
-
don't we already have tim tams in the US? pepperidge farm makes them I think
-
years back they changed up the recipe a bit for my favorite steak/steak fry dipping sauce Heinz 57, and it was awful
-
also, hardee's changed up their hot ham 'n' cheese years ago, going from a simple and delicious thinly sliced juicy ham and cheese on a bun to a lettuce/tomato/mayo monstrosity on a hard sub roll
both hardee's and heinz have since seen the error of their ways and reversed course
-
the mcnuggets had a make-over a few years ago I guess cause the things totally changed shape and taste.

I will send you Tim Tams (including chilli, honeycomb etc) if you send me microbrew.
-
do you do the tim tam slam

-
Tim Tam Slam is for bogans (rednecks) it leaves your mouth dribbling with melted chocolate and screws up a good cup of coffee.
-
I still genuinely enjoy Harvey's hamburgers.
That's because Harvey's hamburger patties taste like meat, not sawdust mixed with groundbeef.
-
I remember when PepsiCo bought KFC years back. It's never been as good since.
-
Anyone remember Hostess Chocolate Pudding Pies?
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dnHTqaKqfY0/R-c-DgcpqPI/AAAAAAAAAUM/6gtp7Cov3PA/s400/pudding.jpg)
Not as good as I remember...
