Another example of a "food" that tastes different from what it used to is Coke.

When they switched to corn syrup, it became "sweeter" somehow, and nowhere near as satisfying. Pepsi had made the switch to corn syrup earlier.

Now, the only REAL Coke you can get comes from Mexico.

I can vouch for that. The last time I was down there (1980's, will NEVER go again) on a vacation, my friend and I were drinking one (out of the old-fashioned glass bottles). He made the comment: "You know...we invented this stuff...and now..you have to go to another country to get one that still tastes the way it did when we were kids."
