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

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.

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.

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

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 lime 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.

Here is a fun fact. All skittles taste the same. They just add different scents to them to trick you into thinking there is a different flavor. That being said the lime ones were my favorite too.

This is silly semantics. If you can close your eyes and tell which color you are eating then the flavors are different enough. Scent is also linked to taste.

Close your eyes and plug your nose and see how they taste. Regardless it was just ment to be a fun fact.

I have and I 100% can tell you which color skittle I'm eating.

Edit: This only includes the original flavors. I'm not familiar enough with the various versions.
