Wish I could find the article but IIRC they went through enshittification during the aughts. Same company and product lines but they switched to cheaper ingredients and different production lines.

So there might be something to it besides nostalgia and changing taste buds. I can think of certain breakfast cereals that haven't gotten worse over the same time period, just way more expensive.
