Has anyone noticed that these crackers TASTE differently than they did years ago. They taste like GARBAGE now.

I tasted them about a year ago, and they tasted the same to me.

Sometimes though, things taste different as adults than when we were kids.

I guess I didn't eat them enough to tell the difference. I still like them though.

Well when I ate them in 2000 they were good. 2006 that's not the case. Nothing can't ever stay the same-lol

I know. I can't get over how a lot of foods have shrunk...candy bars, baked goods, etc.

Are you kidding? I had a few boxes of those recently, and they were awesome. Just as good as I remember them. If you don't like them, you should try Flavorite's Animal Cookies. Those are very good.

Those frosted ones in the pink bag are good too.

Don't you think it was because I bought the BIG BAG from K-Mart instead of the regular size Box?

I thought you said you got the red box witht he white string. But yeah, if you got yourself a big bag from K-Mart, you probably got some crappy cookies.

Yeah, those're alright. Haven't had 'em in a few years though.

Why do you think the crackers in the Bigger Bag taste so different from the ones in the small box?

If they were Barnum brand, then I don't see why they should taste different. I didn't know they sold them in big bags.
