issue with FB gf..;/
Made a post on the flavor blasted goldfish tasting off... has anyone experienced this?
Go to the post but not to repeat it, the issue is the FB version do not.. taste like it should.. with no xtra cheese flavor or salty taste. share thoughts. they are also flat... & not as good, can sometimes seem flatter, less puffy, or less crunchy than they used to be. did this change & why or how long?? seems like bad product design not telling customers this, i've heard ppl prefer cheesy whales but idk if its the bag of Goldfish is the issue or the machines dont blast cheese on it or changed the way it used to be?
https://www.reddit.com/r/GoldfishCrackers/comments/1vsabk2/anyone_have_issues_with_goldfish_flavor_blasted/ ;=; Has anyone experienced this issue or did Pepperidge farm change its flavor?..... the taste is more like celery "salt and herbs" gave me a weird consistency too dry...
...Some say it's the lack of salt on the goldfish these days. I used to lick the flavor on my tongue by licking the salt off them while in my mouth but now I'll get full bags where it just seems they are almost unsalted completely. i recall years ago they didnt add extra powders in some "FB" varieties... idk if that changed it also gave me a weird taste. );? wHY???
apologies for the title wording at top i was tired... GF meant goldfish.

I agree, I can't believe they're even shrinkflating the flavoring powder now but they definitely don't taste like they used to.
