speaking of things getting shittier for no good reason, i’m staring at the label of this fancy rear end 32oz bottle of mixed berry syrup that i picked up at grocery outlet for $1.47 and you know what they’re marketing this poo poo as? super fruit syrup. why’s everything gotta be a super fruit these days? it’s just blackberries and raspberries. first ingredient sugar. gonna be real good on this homemade french toast though

I went to a grocery store that was out of onions the other day. I never even saw such a thing during the pandemic. Not talking about just one kind of specific onion. No white onions, no yellow onions, no red onions, what the heck?

Loblaws started selling UNGRADED MEXICAN BEEF a few months ago and despite it being suspiciously inexpensive, people weren’t buying it, so now the labels say UNGRADED BEEF and it’s almost always got a crowd around the spot lol

Turns out onions were why I had terrible IBS. Going low FODMAP for a while and giving them up was the best thing I've ever done for my stomach. Makes cooking a bit more complicated, though. Also makes it very difficult to eat at restaurants (once a year for my grandmas birthday), because I always want the vegetarian or vegan options, and half the time that's a cheese and onion pie. Once you deduct meat, dairy and onions from your menu options, you're left only with a terrified look from the person behind the counter and then a hesitant offer of plain chips.

No white onions, no yellow onions, no red onions, what the heck? The other day my grocery store was slap out of a very common thing and I was confused as to why. I had to run by the store again then next day for something I forgot and I saw the reason. They weren't out they had just moved it from it's usual place to an end cap display for some sort of promotion. At least leave some of it in the usual spot.

My sister is allergic to dairy, nuts and legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables (cooked is fine because it breaks down the enzymes she's allergic to or something), shellfish and when her immune system goes down because of illness or stress gluten becomes an issue. So yeah, she reads a lot of labels, especially after a particularly bad episode of the shits and pukes when the (not fancy, just supermarket) brand of wine she used to drink for some reason suddenly had lactose (or something similar, maybe lactic acid?) in it. So yeah, now she checks the labels of things she buys every time out or habit even if she's been buying them for years, because products change and they don't tell you.

Going low FODMAP for a while and giving them up was the best thing I've ever done for my stomach. Makes cooking a bit more complicated, though. For what it's worth I was having this same problem where FODMAP stuff like onions and many beans were causing real bad IBS for me. Then I got some bloodwork done and found out my folate levels were real low and my doctor put me on Folate and L-Methylfolate supplements and it cured my IBS and I can eat onions and beans again. Still can't do much dairy tho  But I can do a pizza here and there without getting the gassy shits

That's pretty neat. I am on a mega-dose of folic acid right now, and it's been pretty stable lately, but it was such a massive change that I've had a sort of food-poisoning effect with them, and now even the smell of frying onions makes me feel sick. I can just about cope with leeks, but not always. Also, they used to make me sweat the onion smell and that was disgusting.

Husband is allergic to alliums and fody foods has been a bit of a god send. We make almost everything from scratch. Saves a ton of money but their spicy arriabata makes a great pizza sauce base and for pasta i use it with a lot of mushrooms and peppers and whatever other vegs i have around. Its honestly become a bit of a fun challenge for me to work around. Adept with a lot more spices. Its made me realize how one note the meals are where people just cram a fuckload of garlic into things.

Instant lottery tickets: A $1 scratcher used to have 5 or 6 spots to scratch off, now they're down to 4. I know it doesn't matter all that much because you can just scratch off a single spot and scan it to see if you won anything, but it's just something of a strange reduction.

Yeah this has gotten particularly bad lately as companies scramble to make ¡ NUMBER GO UP ! by attempting to subtly gently caress with recipes. I've stopped buying a number of things, like "Gentlemen's Cut" meat snacks because they retooled the recipes so hard that they taste like poo poo now, probably thanks to adding a bunch of carbs to what's supposed to be a meat product. They also reduced the portion sizes and the total amount/weight of the package. Mercury_Storm fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Feb 26, 2024 |

I've basically shopped by weight for years since I'm used to bouncing between a couple different stores that have different sizes of the same staples. That's helped protect me from surprise shrinkflation, but it leads to getting more and more disappointed every trip as things constantly creep upward
