They spoil everything when they change recipes. It also sucks that they’ve taken to reducing the size of products. Over the years I’ve noticed that Dunkin Donuts keeps reducing the size of their donuts. Pretty soon, all that will be left is the hole.

That's the problem with just about anything good when it comes to food. A product gets popular and gains market share. Everything is good. Everybody is happy - both consumer and the corporation. After a while, the market is saturated and the only way for the corporation to increase margin is to cut cost. A little less of this and a little more of that and the product is no longer the same. The consumer becomes dissatisfied and looks elsewhere.

I sort of a restaurant buff and my best restaurant experiences is when the restaurant is brand new and the owner is looking to build a clientele. Once the restaurant is full of paying clients, things start to change as the owner now focuses on profit rather than gaining market share. The waitstaff are asked to work 10 tabletops instead of 6. You now have to ask for condiments instead of having them on the table already. The portion sizes are a little bit smaller. The vegetable side-dishes now appear to have been microwaved from a frozen state instead of being prepared fresh. It's now time to take that restaurant off your list.

And I don’t know what. But Kentucky fried chicken isn’t the same as from when I was a kid either. Something just doesn’t taste the same. Im sure the hot shots have screwed that up too.

My husband recently bought a package of Fig Newtons. I noticed the size seemed smaller than I remember and the taste was not the same either. My husband also said he thinks they may have changed them in some way not for the better. Won’t be buying them in the future.

So true about Dunkin’ Donuts. I think the trend to remove trans-fats from their recipes has changed the flavor (mouth feel) because they have to use some engineered substitute to make up the difference.

Their donuts aren’t the same at all, especially their glazed raised and crueler donuts.
