People Break Down Which Products They Used To Love Until There Was A Decline In Quality

People Break Down Which Products They Used To Love Until There Was A Decline In Quality

There are few things more disappointing these days than when you figure out that a product you used to love just isn't worth it anymore. I think back to all of the clothes I used to wear as a teen that I would only later realize was of the shoddiest quality. That stuff would fall apart after only a few washes. The experience really ignited a distaste for fast fashion.

People told us all about the products that they hate now after Redditor termyterner asked the online community,

"What's something you really used to like till it declined in quality?"

"Used to only be..."

"Political subreddits.

Used to only be bad during election cycles, now it's just nonstop for bots, trolls, and people that enjoy mainlining disinformation. Get your news from better sources folks."

Yes_Indeed

Well, the internet is terribly toxic, soooo... is this a surprise?

"They used to be..."

"Blundstone Boots. They used to be so well built. Now, the soles are crap and basically disintegrate before the boots even look well-worn. I REPEAT BLUNDSTONE BOOTS. THEY ARE NOW TERRIBLE."

Marlowebabe

Bad quality shoes will ruin your day (and cost so much more money in the long run).

"And it seems..."

"Oreos. And it seems like nobody else noticed, but Oreos taste like a cheap imitation of the ones I grew up with. Why is nobody talking about how awful Oreos have gotten?"

meseeks

I don't even bother nowadays. I used to really enjoy them, but all that sugar is gross.

"How I hate..."

"The Walking Dead. How I hate to say that."

EntrepreneurIll

I stopped watching around the time Glen and Abraham were killed. I just completely lost interest. Such a shame.

"I challenge anyone..."

"Ritz crackers.

I challenge anyone to try and spread anything on a Ritz cracker without it exploding into dust."

"After Covid hit..."

"Restaurants. After Covid hit all the restaurants in my area have had noticeably reduced food quality."

Chip2Playz

Food supply chains have been pretty disrupted. We'll be seeing this for awhile.

"Every place..."

"Every place that has a spicy chicken sandwich or a buffalo sandwich. Always start out nice and hot but a couple of months in they keep backing down the heat level to appease people who think ranch dressing is medium-hot. Eventually, it's just fried chicken with a closed bottle of Franks waved over it."

"They were actually..."

"They were actually rather decent in the early 2000s, but then Quizno's went on a huge expansion and Subway tried to copy them, but without the quality ingredients."

BobBelcher2021

"I used to love..."

"I used to love Chinese buffets. But in the last few years, I've noticed that almost every one I go to is just terrible.

I don't know if the quality has changed, or just my taste."

diamond

Well, that was disappointing. Now my brain won't stop going over all the places and things I used to enjoy that absolutely suck now.

I guess I'm better off––and so are you.

Have some thoughts of your own? Feel free to tell us more in the comments below!

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled Kristi Noem With A Fake 'Dog Obedience School' Ad

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom focused his trolling of the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, creating a fake dog obedience school ad for the self-professed puppy killer.

In her 2024 memoir, No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Noem bragged about shooting and killing her 14-month-old Wire-haired Pointer puppy named Cricket after she failed to train it properly and without trying to rehome the dog to a competent trainer or a hunting dog rescue.

Trump Gives Pious Reminder That The Bible Says To Care For 'Vulnerable Children'—And The Hypocrisy Is Off The Charts

President Donald Trump was called out for hypocrisy after he said during the signing of an executive order expanding resources for the foster care system that the Bible instructs society to care for "vulnerable children and orphans"—only for people to point out that he had denied Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to hungry children just days before.

The loss of SNAP is a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

Conservatives Slam Trump After His Attack On GOP Rep's Marriage Is A Low Blow Even For Him

President Donald Trump has been married three times, but his hypocrisy escaped him entirely when he attacked Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie for getting remarried last month following the death of his first wife in 2024—prompting his own party to call him out for going too far.

Last week, Massie announced he'd married his wife, Carolyn Grace Moffa, in late October. His first wife and "high school sweetheart," Rhonda Howard Massie, died in June 2024.

Video Of Pete Hegseth Screwing 'Department Of War' Sign Onto Building Gets Brutally Mocked

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was widely mocked after the Department of Defense—or shall we say the self-proclaimed "Department of War"—debuted its new plaque by publishing a video showing Hegseth tightening the screws on the new plaque with the words "Department of War" at the Defense Department's River Entrance.

The Pentagon’s rapid response account shared the clip on X along with the following caption:

People Explain The Dumbest Reasons They Had To Call 911

We've all made mistakes from time to time, and some of them have probably been pretty cringy and stupid.

But most of us can take comfort in the fact that we didn't do something so stupid that we had to call 9-1-1 to get us out of trouble.
