8 beloved snacks that changed for the worse

It’s not just the Creme Egg that has let us down.

THE COUNTRY WAS outraged yesterday with the news that Cadbury’s had changed the sacred Creme Egg. But they’re not the first thing to change recipe or grow smaller over the years.

1. Honey nut loops

2. Chickatees

Along with a range of other corn snacks, like Mighty Munch and Chipsticks.

5. Brunch

Excuse me. But what have you done? You’re less crumbly and the ice cream is much harder. A travesty.
