Almost everything

Worse quality or quantity to hide inflation.

Bath/shower soap.

I alternate using Safeguard tan and Dial gold. Neither one lathers up as well as they did 3-4 years ago.

Probably just got older and developed more refined tastes.

You can't get a decent French tickler from the machine on the gas station bathroom wall anymore. Might be the tariffs though.

Butter, if you can even find butter. Everything is margarine or made from some kind of oil, canola, vegetable, etc.

My dishwasher used to run pretty hot and I’d use 3 times a day, now 40 years later just a couple times a week and doesn’t seem to do the job as good as used to.

A more appropriate thread would be to identify products that haven’t suffered a noticeable degradation of quality over the past ____ years

Everything is awful, it’s going to get worse, and will likely end in bloody revolt.

Go back to the old school no bells and whistles W/D.

I bought a washer 2 years ago with no fancy crap on it and it still plugs along getting the laundry done. My original dryer that was as old as my son (36) finally quit heating so I bought a vintage one on an auction for $3. and put the cord from the old one on and it is perfectly working.

I'm in the market for a refrigerator and stove but they will be just basic. No ice and water in the door or a door you can see through so you can tell if you need more milk. Who really needs that shite?

Edit to add: My 2 year old dishwasher quit doing the cleaning so now I am back washing dishes. I hate washing dishes and hate Home Depot.

pretty sure hostess used to not coat their pastries with melted plastic back in the day


Yeah.

It's probably that as an adult I buy more stuff from the bakery or natural chocolate but those Hostess and Little Debbies leave me feeling like I just chewed on a candle if I ever eat one now.

I believe the red tag Levi’s have seven belt loops while the orange tags have only five. Been a while since I bought any, though.
