why did they change the recipe of the milky way?

Question

the old milky ways when i was younger was much nicer.
they changed the recipe a few years ago, and the middle looks lighter in colour, and to me seems a lot sweeter. not as nice. havnt bought one since.

Answer 1

here here i was distraught when they changed the recipe it was always my favourite bar and now they taste disgusting-i tried one and ive never bought one again-the nearest taste ive found in the shops are the flite bars as these taste almost the same-lets get a campaign started"bring back the original milky way"

Answer 2

I've gone off milky ways too. I now buy the ones asda make, their own brand. U get them in packs of 10 dead cheap & highly addictive!!!! You should try them.

Answer 3

Fat helps food taste better- it helps the flavor cling to our taste buds longer.
A lot of company's are using less fat in Candy's to make them appear more 'healthy'
Profit motivated ploy and not a real concern for our health.

Answer 4

same reason they changed the recipe of the Johnson's and Johnson's baby bath wash, w/ lavender and chamomile. i know what you mean though... things are sure changing, and for the worse. we should all boycott china, and refuse to purchase things made in CHINA. blah!!

Answer 5

I know it was much better in taste.They might have changed because of these day health warnings.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Cheap-skates wanted more profit - so reduced the ingredients in it.

Answer 8
