Hard to tell if it is actually worse or a false memory, because they originally came out when garbage sugar-laced food science was really taking off targeting the younger demographic.
I keep having this argument with my mom. She keeps trying to tell me it’s because I’m older and my taste bus have changed. I’ll admit my preference in flavor may have broadened but all my favorite snacks and candy from the late 80s and early 90s have been terribly inshitafide. My absolute favorite was skittles. The apple ruined them but then they finally caved and put mine back in only to change the receipt altogether which ruined them a second time. At least one of the ingredients is illegal in most countries at this point.

Close enough. You can come in the club. There’s dunkaroos in the back if you’re hungry.

Looks like there’s a box of YoYo Balls. Can I have a go?

Oh for sure, those are a communal resource.

Fuck. I played so much with both of those things.

I thought they discontinued dunkaroos, but then my wife came home with a box of them for my kids.
I tried one (disgusting); I remember them being a lot better.

They have 100% gotten worse. The quality of everything has dropped in the last 20+ years.
