Good comic.
And man… Pringles used to be a guilty pleasure of mine, once upon a time.

I know, super-salty, highly-processed, and heated / fried awfully (just like “Bugles” and “Munchos"), but taste-wise GOOD.

Bah, these days… they all taste like arse, now.

I wonder why? Just taste buds changing as you get older, or more exposure to alternatives?

Good question.

• Taste buds changing with age is deffo a legit concern.
• Retraining my diet & tastebuds over the years to reject salty, processed food is a factor.
• Failing memory? Also, a concern.
• But more likely of all, the core bastard of bastards? Enshittification.

Take “Corn Nuts,” for example…

Oh no… I’m afraid to ask. What happened to corn nuts?

Nono, that’s the outlier. That’s what I was trying to say, but maybe I messed that up?

Corn Nuts are still ‘magic, crunchiness in the mouth.’
They’re still amazing, as always. :D

(there’s actually a chemistry-backstory behind all that, but that’s… a different convo for a different c/)
