15 Products That Have Gone Downhill: Once Great, Now Just “Meh”

Tech advancement leaves many struggling to adapt. A forum user asked, "What used to be good, now only mediocre?" Here's the top responses.

CLOTHES

"Fashion changes, but today's quality is poor. Fast fashion harms clothing longevity. My parents' old 'cheap brand' clothes still hold up."

REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS RECIPE

"Reese's Peanut Butter Cups' recipe seems changed. Once god's gift, now they taste like weakly chocolate, faintly peanut butter discs."

CANDY BARS

“All the candy bars next to the cashier.”

THE INTERNET

“The Internet. There used to be just a few sites earlier, and now there are zillions.”

NETFLIX

“Netflix. I wanna watch classic movies, but they’re just showing Netflix Original series and 140-minute action movies.”

KFC

“KFC It used to be crisp and clean. Now it’s greasy and gross.”

AIR TRAVEL

"Air travel used to be a luxury with great service. Now, it's more like a cattle car with terrible service, theft, delays, and potential for violence."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

"College Football has lost its charm with ruined rivalries & greedy teams. Extended game durations also upset fans, especially those on the East Coast.

LAUNDRY BASKETS

"Laundry baskets and vacuums today are made to break. Older ones survived a destructive family of 7, with baskets lasting longer than ten couches. I've owned 12 vacuums in my adult life, they break too quickly."

CEREAL

"Cereal, especially Count Chocula, and Dr Pepper don't taste the same anymore. Recipe changes were noticeably worse."

SHOWER HEADS

"Shower heads used to drench you, now they barely get you wet. My 90's shower head still works and I won't replace it despite the leaks."

HEALTH CARE INSURANCE

“Health care insurance. It used to be 100% covered, but now it’s not even offered by some employers.”

KLONDIKE BARS

"Klondike bars. As a kid, they held perfectly; chocolate shell protecting the ice cream. Now, they shatter upon bite. Eating without a wrapper leads to a mess of sugary failure."
