They definitely changed. Most of them got smaller, many of them got dryer (less moist), and they all got more expensive.

And one component of taste is the dopamine release from eating the food and all of the negative associations with snack foods combined with a mature and adult brain means that you can't enjoy it as much as a kid who just wants to taste something sweet.

You're literally psychologically conditioned to not enjoy them as much and to release less dopamine when you eat them now.

True. Its both. But I have a ton of positive associations with those snacks which make their change suck harder.

I mean I can link 6 different Little Debbie treats to unique family members and childhood events.

It's hard to taste a memory, harder still when the company changed the recipe.
