THINGS AIN’T WHAT THEY USED TO BE

Reddit asked, “What product was better 10 years ago than it is today?” Some of the responses (Although most of these go back more than ten years):
– “YouTube”
– “News websites. They’re 90% ads with 10% news content. I can’t use them anymore, too many things going on at once.”
– “CARTOONS ARE TRASH NOW I remember Power Puff Girls, Flintstones, the Jetsons, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Invaders Zim, Johnny Bravo, Dexters Laboratory just to list a few.”
– “Chocolate”
– “Oreos”
– “Butterfinger candy bars. They don’t even remotely taste as good as they used to.”
– “Any Hostess snack cakes. I bought a box of chocolate cup cakes. They’re were so small it was two bites to finish it and the cream filling was not good.”
– “When Little Debbie turned her brownies into “Cosmic Brownies.”
– “My pet peeve is KLONDIKE ice cream chocolate covered bars. The so-called CHOCOLATE is so thin you can see through it.”
– “Furniture is made like it’s disposable.”
– “Couches! Currently trying to find a comfortable couch that isn’t complete garbage feels impossible.”
– “Levi’s jeans, used to last me a good while, now I’ve stopped wearing them after the last pair wore through in six weeks.”
– “Nike socks. I get holes in my socks in months now but still have pairs that were new in 2010.” (* And ladies….he’s single!)
– “Gas cans. Because of government safety changes, I can hardly get gas out of the new cans. I spill most of the gas on the ground now.”
– “Sharpies are nowhere near as good as they used to be.”
– “Happy Meal Toys!”
– “Toilet paper. It was consistently sized and you could compare brands. Now you’ve got no idea how to compare ‘regular’ and ‘double’ and ‘plus’ and ‘mega’ and they also keep making them narrower.”
– “Saran Wrap. Seriously, they took out whatever made it cling to itself. It’s useless now.”
* I remember when Reddit wasn’t stuffed full of so much useless filler.
* How about Flo from Progressive? Ten years ago she didn’t have all those dumb sidekicks hanging out with her.
* The moral here is, don’t mess with people’s snack food. Or Sharpies.
* There is one thing we are in a Golden Age of. It’s the Golden Age of Complaining.
