Gen X kid here, growing up it was a huge treat to get a can of Ray's Coney Island sauce for our hotdogs. When you opened the can there was a half inch of seasoned grease with dark red sauce filled with very finally minced beef below it. After heating it up and putting that on your hotdog it was elevated to new levels of flavor. I bought a can over a year ago I have been saving for a special day to enjoy some Coney Island dogs. Well I decided that day is today. I opened the can to find a wholly different product inside. Gone was the half inch of seasoned grease. Gone was the dark red sauce with finely minced beef. It was replaced by a boring homogeneous brown sauce that looked like the racial make up of the west in two more generations. Gone was the delicious greasy spiced flavor. It was replaced by something that reminded me of shitty Hormel canned chili. Another treasured treat from my childhood gone so some corporate fat cat can save half a penny on every can produced.

You will either get over it someday or you won't.
Nobody else would give a shit about your little problem if you weren't crying about it on the internet.

Are you anywhere near Connecticut? Try Capitol Lunch in New Britain, a family owned location for nearly a century, currently operated by the elder Gerald and younger Matthew Warchezski. The location is known to locals as “Crapitol Lunch” and are known to come in and ask for “the shit sauce”. 2 hotdogs and an order of fries is commonly called a “Big Shitter”. You won’t find this on any menu, but if you’re a true local you’ll know. The Famous Sauce is often served in small ramekins commonly called “dookie drops” by locals and used for dipping. The sauce is also sold for $10 for an 8 ounce container, something many New Britain locals take advantage of due to the popularity of the Famous Sauce. Locals know to order it as a “Big Dump” and the owners aren’t shy about giving a little extra to people who order this way, knowing they’re what’s called a “tool city townie” and thus one of their own.

This is a retarted copypasta. It’s not even funny

>>21455238
Sounds like somebody's not a tool city townie.

Hot chips are mega overpriced here now, I cannot justify spending $12.90 on some potatoes.

>>21455238

>>21455228
Think you meant to tag OP buddy, that anon made a perfectly valid point.

>>21455235
BASED tool city townie! Stop giving out our tips to the fuckin fly overs though.

I bought a big bag of 100 pizza rolls that I was so excited to eat while drunk over 4th of July weekend and they tasted like shit. The outside was a dark wheat and there was almost no filling inside. The cheese was a small cube instead of anything melted and the sausage tasted like my ass. I was so disappointed but I guess that's what I get for eating slop.

>>21455218
I would

Yeah those are depressingly bad now

Maybe your opened can was stored better, recently shaken, and didn't separate so completely? Surprising that their recipe actually changed, really.

Your picture is disgusting, btw. Pick a lane. It's either relish or ketchup or mustard onions and chili. Pick one or we're all going to know that you have shitty ideas about food without actual experiences.

God fucking dammit, /ck/. Stop spooking me with these shitty chili pics. For a second, I thought I was staring down food OP shat on.

I'll tell you one childhood favorite of mine that HASN'T been ruined by shrinkflation: Dagwood Dogs - corndogs to you seppo deadheads
They were $3 10 years ago and they're still $3 at my local hot chicken place - which I guess technically means they're even cheaper than they were before
It sounds stupid but I love these things like you wouldn't believe

these motherfriggers are still delicious but I swear they're getting smöller and smöller every 5-8 years or so

>>21455209 (OP)
>waaah!! wah wah!!!
Now you're just gonna have to make your own ground beef sauce, faggot.

Pringles. In my country we used to get the American made version of the product.
A decade ago to enable cheaper production & shipping outside the USA they built a new factory in malaysia.
The new Malaysian version are shit, flavourless and much smaller. Completely ruined. they also keep shrinking the packages. USA they're 155g. Ours are only 134g for the basic flavours, and all the special flavours are 118g.
This isn't "shrink"flation, just regular inflation but when I was a kid my family would once every few months have chinese takeaway and it would cost less than $50 to feed 7 people. To get the same thing now would probably cost $200 as when I bought some for myself a few months ago it cost $50 for a fried rice and two meat dishes.

Genx went from apathy to writing long winded rants about hot canned hot dogs don’t taste the same anymore

Ice cream sandwiches have gotten smaller and it makes me very sad

>What treat from your childhood has shrinkflation ruined
Quite literally everything, except those that are no longer made at all.

It looks like someone took a shit on your hot dogs

>>21455209 (OP)
I used to order huge sandwiches. Ham, Turkey, Salami, lettuce, onions, pickles with Honey Mustard.
I still think pickles, onions, and honey mustard is a pungeant combo that should be used together more often.
Anyway shit is like 13 dollars now. I aint paying for that.

>>21456512
>they tasted like shit
Right! I remember as a kid in the late 70's early 80's they were the bomb. crispy on the outside, filled solid with cheese and pepperoni. I bought some a couple years ago, and ended up throwing them away. they were hollow and shit.

ice cream doesn't come in half gallons anymore.

bacon is hard to find in one pound packs.

chip bags are less than half full and fluffed with air.

snickers bars are half the size they used to be.

canned foods used to be in 16 oz cans, good luck finding that size anymore.

sugar used to be in 5lb bags not 4, not 3 FIVE!

girl scout cookies are the worst offenders.

and the thing that pisses me off the most is they cut all the fat off meat.

>>21459608
Alot of your points are just wrong, do they not have bluebell where you live? Bacon in pounds too, chip bags have been half air for decades, theyre sold by weight

>>21459777
it's like you didn't read anything. and I am not wrong. I know about blubell, but ALL ice cream used to come in half gallons. and canned goods used to be sold in 16 oz cans. so you are wrong.

The ravioli is half the size it used to be, and the can is filled with mostly tomato sauce.

>>21455209 (OP)
bought these on sale, nasty little things now. the aldi ones are better

>>21459608
most of this is wrong and lardass (only concerns are bacon, ice cream, chips) but you are dead on about the fat trimming. Fucking barbaric, we are scammed

>>21459783
>all ice cream
Yeah some changes aren't a bad thing. Different quantities exist for a reason not everyone wants wo waste shelfspace in a giant tub of icecream or eat through a pound of shitty canned beans for days
