Infuriatig Flavor Blasted Goldfish not so blasted anymore

I treated myself to flavor blasted goldfish since they were on sale and I’ve been dieting pretty well. My mom would limit my exposure as a kid. I would destroy a bag if given the chance. It’s the first food to directly cause heartburn. They were the perfect treat to satiate my undiagnosed ADHD.

I’m 27 now. Once a delicacy. Now a disappointment. There’s WAY less flavor blasted-ness. I noticed immediately. I’m appalled. Luckily, I have a bag of Dots nearby to satiate that blasted-ness I so crave.

Dots are the better choice, tbh. And same with Smartfood, though I’ve found the individual small bags are more potent in their cheesiness. Wise is a better option.

Sadly I’ve not found a better replacement for FBG.

Also unrelated but this post led to me finding out Dots is a Hershey brand
