Reese's tasted a whole lot better 20+ years ago. Now it's just gritty sugar with peanut butter flavored 'essence' added. Same goes for Cadbury eggs which are completely inedible now.

    I always wondered about that but I don’t eat frequently enough to notice when it changed

    Eating them infrequently is exactly how I noticed the change especially with the Cadbury eggs. It used to have a creamy center that has been replaced with what tastes like a spoonful of gritty Betty Crocker sugar frosting. Reese's are less obvious but also just taste like sugar (or HFCS) to me now and they were my absolute favorite as a kid as someone who's not really into candy.
