sometime new recipie stuff can be better tho. Double Deckers are better now than they used to be Companies do think carefully before they do this and conduct market research before they release the new stuff - obviously lots of the population said that they'd prefer their pasta shapes to look like someone sneezed in it!

perhaps you could look into an adult brand Spike. adult pasta sauces havent changed in years.

They were my favorite too, theyre all mingy now, animal hospital are icky too, i eat Sabrina or Barbie now, Robot wars arent bad either

Ummmmm..... Animal Hospital pasta shapes??? OK, scared now!

Do they have any S Club pasta shapes?? 'Coz that would be cool!!

Or Avril Lavigne ones!

Okay..message from Joel to Spike... "try the Barney pasta shapes, they're lovely, and are my favourite.. the Tweenies and Teletubbies ones are nice too"

Joel is very partial to these pasta shapes, with fish fingers or chicksticks

I must admit the Tweenie pasta is lovely Mmmmmm

I ahte it when they change recipes, theres no need for it.

An ex-colleague who used to work for a consumer food products compnay said this happens all the time. The manufacturers are constantly experimenting with the recipes and product composition for a variety of reasons, especially how to make it cheaper to produce. Now, the aim is normally to try to do this so that it's not noticed by consumers (or at least most of them) so I guess it didn't quite work here.

My kids hate pasta shapes. Can't say I blame them *ick*

I hafta say that I love my plain old Heinz pasta hoops & as far as I know the recipe hasn't changed for as long as I can remember, at least not to any noticable degree.

But I do agree that most of the kiddies pasta shapes aren't as nice as they used to be.

I know what you mean Spike. They changed Walkers Pickled Onion Monster Munch a few years ago they were the best crisps ever, but now they're not half as nice

Space raiders are still the yummiest though and they are still only 10P!!!!!!!!!! They have been 10P forever!!!

Noooo! Hoops taste funny. It has to be normal shaped spaghetti or it doesn't taste right.

It was - They were on offer after the band broke up!! The tin was really cool though - all pink and glittery Having said that S Club branding is on so much cack these days that they are bound to go into pasta shapes at some point

Are you associating S Club with cack? I hope not

You'll probably find that one company makes all the pasta stuff. The only different being the quality of the ingredients used.

I meet someone who worked for a Crisp manufacturer.
They made Tesco,Sainsbury crisps in the morning when the oil was new but cold, Midday when M&S because the oil was the right temperature, afternoon was all the 'basic' packs as the oil was by then past it.
