Mini cheddars now taste of wheat, salt and vague distant smattering of whey. Not even greasy anymore. Had to put actual cheese on them. Anything else gone to shit? I know about Terry's, and no, it's not Terry's, or even a chocolate orange anymore.
Safe bets?
Twiglets?
On Cheddars: I find the full-scale versions much better than their mini variants.
Don't **** with my Twiglets. 👿
I agree about the Choc Orange, what the hell happened with the moulded pieces and hollowed out segments??
Jezebels blouse.
Cheeselets. I want them square not Christmas tree shaped.
This is where it's at on the mini-chedders front nowadays....

Twiglets? They were dumbed down years ago. Nowhere near as Marmitalicious as they once were. 👿
Cadbury's dairy milk is a shadow of it's former self, as are the giant buttons.
I have a chocolate orange sat on my desk at work waiting to be eaten. What am I going to find wrong with it? Been years since I had one but used to find them delicious.
It'll taste the same but have rubbish hollowed out segments instead of flat sided ones.
Rubbish!!! (Unless you bought it in The Pound Shop in which case it's still quite a bargain).

I think you are refering to "Treeslets" it is Xmas after all....
Genius marketing there.
As far as Mini Cheddars go, if you want the cheese and salt, get the Aldi ones!
Also, when did the Ritz cheese sandwich disappear?
Still available I think?
*edit I may be thinking of the Tuc ones

Dunno, I had one a week ago, also the first one in years, didn't seem to have changed. No hollowed out sections either.
FFS! Really enough now 2016! Fannying around with Tolberone and now chocolate oranges?! 😡

It could be me being old. Used to get one for Xmas as a kid. My findings:
1976 Terry's Of York Chocolate Orange (made by Terry's of York):
Smooth texture to segments
Straight-sided segments
Felt hefty like a cricket ball
Very firm texture with a 'snap' to it (no simple 'tap and unwrap', it was more like opening a coconut, you had to properly whack it against something hard)
Good quality milk chocolate
Once you'd gotten into it you'd find a thick chunky splintered 'stalk' that ran down the middle. The chocolate was so fine that there would be a good palmful of splintered and powdered 'stalk' leftovers in the bottom of the foil.
2016 Not Terry's of York Chocolate Orange (Made by US confectionary giant Mondelez)
Smaller
Lighter, not what you'd call hefty
Soft segments
Segments concave, with one side more concave than the other to increase profit.
Doesn't taste so much like milk chocolate of old, more sugary and chewy.
No stalk to speak of
No splintering or powdered choc residue to speak of. This is unsurprising as the 'chocolate' is now more like a brown blu-tack unless you chill it within a degree of freezing.
See also Yorkie bars.
If you're old enough you'll know!
Bah that's it. I'm off to my underground bunker to manufacture own sweets from hand-milled ingredients and bitter disappointment. Goodbye, disappointing World!
Not that you drink it but they messed up RainX is never been the same
