Thorntons toffees yum yum, rum and raisin and the original.
Why do companies have to change everything? Is it because they do really good stuff, suck everyone in and then once they have the customers, change to cheap ingredients? Same as beauty, same as everything.

I’m with you there: Thornton’s original toffee is delicious!
(Like some of their fudge, too although that is a wee bit artificial)
The toffee especially is what I’d call a “good, old-fashioned” sweet!
Love the way it’s not cut into neat squares, but supplied in rustic chunks...
Does take some chewing, however, but it’s worth it...!
As to why companies change successful and popular recipes and products, I have no idea!
It’s infuriating.
Sometimes wonder if they do it so that they can advertise a “new and improved recipe or formula” etc?
They’re rarely better and invariably ruin a beloved product which surely drives away loyal customers!
Liz Earle good case in point..
I actually phoned Mcvities this week (sad I know!), because every other packet of Hobnobs I purchase are now over-baked or burnt! Lady logged the batch codes and dates and said she’d report it.
I may get some vouchers?!
Turns out they changed the recipe a few years back (I knew it!), ditto with Mcvities digestive biscuits, in order to reduce saturated fat and sugar content?
Thing is, it’s only a minimal difference in nutrition but to me it’s ruined them! I’d much rather just eat one or two good biscuits a week than multiple lacking ones!

it will be interesting to hear if they mention that the coffee machine is compatible with Nespresso pods.
