The quality of produced food is getting significantly worse. Lower quality ingredients. Fillers. Shrinkflation. They will push it as far as they can.

Homemade Rice krispie treats are the only way to go. I remember those as a childhood favorite treat so one day I saw them at the store packaged all shiny blue so I bought them and oh my God those should've been sold as doorstops or drink coasters. Not suitable for human consumption.

Yeah what is even in those to make them taste so terrible?

Homemade ones literally have 3 ingredients. Butter. Marshmallow and cereal. How can you mess that up ?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm guessing they mess them up with preservatives.

And/or natural hardening because even homemade ones are best eaten fresh & warm. After a couple days they get harder & less palatable I suppose but my homemade ones disappear into mouths no later than day 2 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah that must be it. Whatever it is has an awful taste and lingers.

Butter. Marshmallow and cereal

This is the first time I have read of "rice crispy treat" and something inside me is screaming, "Where's the rice!?"

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The cereal is made of rice or looks like rice ? I guess I'm not sure if it's actually made from rice. But it definitely looks like rice.

"Rice Krispies are made of crisped rice."
