Oreos
Oreos
Oreos were first introduced in 1912 and have since become one of American’s favorite cookies. But do they taste different to you? Maybe less flavorful and perhaps more chalky?
Much like Goldfish crackers, Oreos dropped the partially hydrogenated soybean oil used to make the product, a trans fat, in the early 2000s. And there are plenty of complaints from people who think Oreo cookies don’t taste nearly as good as they remember.
The FDA officially banned trans fats in U.S. foods in 2018, but there are still trace amounts in several products. Your Oreos of today are slightly less unhealthy, but they’re also arguably less tasty than they were in the 1980s.
