Most mornings I wake up...if I didn't it would mean I'm dead and due to being particularly difficult to kill I've rarely died and on those times I did I just came back to life, stood up, dusted off and carried on living. So...most mornings I wake up and have breakfast.
It's not always the same and depends if I'm home, away working, in the working week, the weekend, what I have to do and when...there's different breakfasts depending on many things.
About 70% of the time my breakfast consists of a really tasty vanilla yoghurt (no added sugar of course), a handful of strawberries and sprinkles of almonds and cashew nuts or a low carbohydrate/sugar granola, or both. It keeps me going until late morning - I usually eat breakfast around 06:00 and generally no later than 07:00 because I'm awake so early...unless I'm dead and then I don't wake up at all.
Anyway, I like my yoghurt breakfasts.
The trick to it is that the yoghurt has 15g of protein which helps me feel less hungry for longer and that the crunch of the nuts or granola, the flavour of strawberries and sometimes even a few blueberries, together with the creamy flavour of vanilla combine into a legit taste and it's pretty healthy too.
But they changed my fucken yoghurt
To be fair, it's still really tasty and I still like it, but it used to have a really nice texture, (probably the wrong word.) It would pile up on the spoon when scooped and not run or gloop off. Now, it fucken gloops.
To be even more fair, the glooping isn't all that bad, it's just different to what I'm used to and when people fuck with my breakfast I don't react well.
For instance, bacon and eggs, a breakfast I have once a week or so...fucken awesome. But if they changed bacon to taste like...umm...tree bark, bacon and eggs wouldn't be the same and breakfast would be ruined! It's the same with my yoghurt.
I don't know why the change happened, I don't know why companies mess with something that works well already either, but they do. Ok, I probably know why: product/ingredient shortages, cost cutting and revenue raising, changed manufacturing techniques...there's actually a lot of reasons why a company would change a product but don't they know I don't always agree with those changes?
Don't they know who the fuck I am?
Ok, admittedly, I'm a nobody...no one special at all, so they don't give a fuck who I am. I'm just a guy who wants my yoghurt texture back I guess, no more or no less.
Have you ever come across this situation with a food you like or love that was changed and now doesn't seem as appealing? Tell me about it in the comments if you want to and if you don't want to then you'd better not.
