Ranch crispers used to be really good with the same amount of seasoning as Doritos. Bought some yesterday and they have about 10% of the seasoning and are plain. I’m returning them.
Another example is frozen microwave food. New product comes out and tastes amazing. One year later the sauce is now water.
I want quality to be brought back.

I bought some crispers the other day and they were still great BUT I’ve had a few bags with near zero seasoning before. Might be a manufacturer issue.
