Local restaurant hurts even more because there's much more of a personal connection there. You really want to see it succeed and constantly churn out that amazing food
The local restaurant hurts more. You were going independent, swerving past the fast food chains on the town. You were supporting the local economy, but then they fired the chef or they left town. You still go to the local restaurant to help the folks that you probably know by name. The countless times that you've invested your time and money into something out of the comfort zone. Then you try the new food, it just makes you want to commit seppuku until you get the same food that you fell in love a long time ago.
THE BETRAYAL
Local restaurants hurt, especially having to move far from it. And you’re just so used to the food. Having to lose that personal connection with the workers and the tasty food just hurts
going to local restaurant and the food is mediocre AND more expensive. pain. i can get better with much more food for half the price where i live now.. why must you hurt me so
@@xEternalSoul Yeah this right here is fucking painful. My favourite restaurant since i was like 10 relocated and expanded which is completely fine but the food became so shitty and the prices were basically doubled. I hate this feeling
I had the Mexican restaurant do that. We had the place we would go several times a month. It was so good. Went for years. The employees even knew us. They had pictures on the walls of customers and such. But then thry got new managers. They didn't even last half a year before they shut down. It went down hill very very fast.
Years go buy and this new Mexican restaurant opens. Not sure if they are related to the older one but they are doing extremely well and I never ever saw their parking lot do full when we go.
Joey has genuine confusion on what the whole "Karen" thing is about.
He was Hella confused what an introvert was.
Odd that it's okay for Joey and Garnt to feel that strongly about local restaurants but not okay for Connor regarding a nostalgic childhood snack. It's the same thing in essence
But they’re not tracking down the local chef to ask if he changed something about his recipe. You people are being selective over their situations. They’re arguing about him going out of his way to call these people over a change in their ingredients, that’s what’s weird to them.
@@maplelu9514 he calls the customer service, that is specifically there, Not one Person
There was this bakery that would make these chocolate fudges in the shape of mice. The tail was a cherry, the ears were almond slices, and inside the fudge were the tips of walnuts. Well the lady who made them left. I searched for her for 3 years and found her only to be told she no longer makes them. 2 years after that she went back to the same bakery and started remaking them! I buy 4 whenever I go.
That’s so adorable 🥺💕
What the hell is wrong with some people? Searching for a woman for 3 years because you liked her baking style? I'm sorry but if I were her, I'd feel creeped tf out
@@keifer7813 over here, guys! We found the snowflake!
@@keifer7813 probably wasn’t actively searching but it isnt that weird
You must have made her fucking day. "My chocolate ment so much to this person that they spent 3 YEARS searching for me".
Find someone that talks about you the way Connor talks about food.
Someone has high standards
That'd be kinda creepy
@@slendydie1267 yeah if you got your trimmed he'd freak.
Joey being raised Japanese has taught him to be a little passive when complaining about stuff. I worked as a Cashier and as a phone guy at a Pizza restaurant and there’s nothing wrong with politely asking, I’ve been yelled at before, there’s nothing wrong with asking or complaining about something as long as you’re not rude about it.
joey is arguing for the sake of it, I say what Connor did makes perfect sense.
Same here. There’s nothing weird about asking such a question.
Yeah I hard disagree with Joey on that point. Just asking doesn't make you a Karen, demanding things rudely does
@@crashking9930 Joey's point was raising a concern for a small issue, when he could've let it go, whether he was right or not. I kinda get it.
Eh for me that's totally insane..
the moment he dead-ass said it I was like "..wait what?"
@@pennyinheaven I mean that's why companies have customer service departments right? To answer small questions. Also it's not like Connor was repeatedly emailing them for an answer, it was a one and done thing
Ironic that Joey is calling Connor a Karen while being a Karen himself 🤔
I'm just here to remind everybody that last after dark special they all rated Budweiser highly in a blind taste test. My job here is done.
Thank you XD never let them forget
At least they didn't rate Miller highly!
Garnt said it had loads of flavor. He was loving it.
Are people not allowed to like that specific beer?
Hmm yes this piss tastes better than the last one, It's much richer in flavor
I'm with Connor on calling to see if they changed the recipe. I'd want to know but also if enough people call and complain they would be more inclined to change it back. Why would I want to eat something that doesn't taste as good. Also while allergy warnings are more prevalent on things not everything has it. You could also find out your allergic to something not listed as an allergy and need to know what they changed.
Joey was so against Connor on this for no reason XD
For the content. They can’t have a regular podcast if they have nothing to talk about. Plus the podcast IS called Trash Taste.
@@retro527 i think he just likes being an argumentive ass
My wife had this happen to her with her favorite green tea. They replaced the sugar with Stevia.
She wrote an letter, about how she was not mad, but disappointed that her favorite summer drink was ruined forever.
She got a reply. They change the recipe. And she got a free box with branded glasses and a huge package with a dozen or so of boxes with just green tea, directly from their food lab in like half a dozen different recipe variants.
Seems like the internal testers were not able to taste the different between sugar and stevia. They went with the one of the versions that she actually liked and to this day she is still drinking it, even when it is not the same anymore.
I'm with Connor on this one with the dairylee dunkers if I had a childhood snack like that then they changed it I would be pretty mad to
One of my favourite sweets I can never get again I just remembered 'Chewits Whip' it was like a long straw berry lace that was chewy and you could drink through it like a straw and since they rebranded they dropped most of there old brand sweets and made new ones. To my disappointment when I went to order some off Amazon for my brother's Christmas present
But that's like with a lot of things. fizzy drinks and Mr Kipling's aren't as naturally sugary anymore. All of it has been changed.
Same here. In fact, companies like hearing from you. You can even get coupons/free stuff by even just calling sometimes.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks yeah ik that's why frosted shreddies will never be the same again they used to have a thick layer of frosting but since sugar tax and general public opinion that there should be less sugar in stuff they don't taste as good anymore
There's a certain frosted animal cookie that I loved when I was ~4 years old and just didn't eat any more after that. Now as an adult I see it at the stores but in my heart of hearts, I have a strong feeling that it won't taste the same and I'll just be disappointed.
The painful part is just knowing that you'll never have that specific food item again. If it's fast food or something where there's another of that restaurant _somewhere_ else in the world, you at least live knowing you can possibly have that again someday, even if realistically you may never actually go out of your way to get it. But with local restaurants there's only one of them, and when it changes, that change is permanent, for eternity.
Saying " It's meant for kids, you are an adult" Is like saying that kids don't deserve the same quality adults like to have, which is a bit insulting tbh. No matter the age group, quality matters.
Will never get what purpose these kinds of points are trying to make, beyond, 'You shouldn't care, have interest in or like it because you're now outside of their targeting demographic.'
Things 'kiddy,' that are socially acceptable/understood because they still keep their fanbase & consumers, while others are deemed/seen the opposite, since they don't have enough people continuing to care greatly for them.
Really, it's pretty unself-aware & ironic for some to not have identified their own objective 'kiddy interests,' when making hypocritical statements.
Talking generally, not just about the half-joking comment. Why people care to point out inane things about interests that don't harm anyone and they themself have no intention of having/continuing interest in, I have no clue.
The difference between, 'why do you like it?' 😯 and, 'why do you like it.' 🤨
I think it means the opposite, where you have to leave space for kids to enjoy new things and move one from their space
@@xebec.d. I'm not on twitter, nice try tho.
"It's for kids!" I don't give a shit. I'm a grown ass adult. If I want to eat a whole box of crackers and cheese whizz I'm going to eat a whole fucking box of crackers and cheese whizz because no one can tell me I can't!
@@Anthony8851 I would get this argument on something more like "this joke is very local to X country so you can't really complain about not understanding it if you are not from x country"
Connor‘s Bizarre Food Company Complaints Part 6: Stone Cold
The using procrastinating to get stuff done is actually a real thing and was recommended to me as a way to study. Procrastinate doing other stuff to make progress on other things
I'm with Connor on this one, it's not wierd.
It Hurts, then you ask where did the chef go.
I'm with Connor on this one. Nothing wrong with having comfort foods man
instead of "i'm surprised you were that bored" i think a more accurate description of connor's actions is more like "i'm surprised you were that passionate to know" ? like i dont feel like his action came out of boredom...but more just like actual curiousity and need to know. determination as connor put it was really accurate
This is literally what Nanami from JJK was talking about on what really makes you an adult lol
I immediately thought that
As usual, I'm in Connor's corner here.
Connor's Bizarre Adventure
They really are being drag down by japanese culture if they think is wrong that Connor asked that to the company xD
They're not saying he's wrong. They're saying its pretty weird to not only email, but to try again ANOTHER DAY and call about such an insignificant thing. I've been bored, but not that bored lol
Leave Japanese culture out of this. It can be seen as weird across the board for a lot of people.
@@maplelu9514 Seethe, incel.
I can tell you that phone you think never rings, it rings all the time and the people calling are usually so rude or batshitcrazy. The only reason you got your answer was because you restored someone's fate in humanity and they didn't want to let you down.
The same thing happened to hostess cupcakes and twinkies, they used to be bigger and creamier and tastier. They were my favorite snacks growing up, after they went out of business they came back so many times the recipes changed dramatically. Also I am an adult that likes those cheese cracker snacks as well :)
I think they stopped using lard
I feel you Cdawg... it happen to me with my favourite item from McDonald. The CBO and the sundae apple pie... miss them so much...
cbo and the apple pie were my favorites too
That was definitely not a Karen moment.
I had a similiar moment before. My siblings and I would constantly buy a specific brand of chips/crisps. As it was the only one that was everywhere and that all three of us enjoyed (Siblings love salty food while I am overly sensitive to it).
One day when I ate one, I immeadetly spit it out. It tasted so salty that it hurt. My siblings didn't feel any difference so maybe it was just me. Thought so until my cousin ate one and stated that they tasted overly salty. Out of curiosity we contacted the manufacturer. Turns out they recently changed the salt brand they used. So in my case this was something that now actively prevent me from ever eating it again.
Connor was right. 100 percent.
2:50 When Trash Taste said they ran out of content to make so they stop the podcast
As someone who’s worked in the food service industry (specifically at a small family owned business), changes in formula/recipe definitely happen usually as a result of a supplier of a certain ingredient either increasing cost or the ingredient itself is unavailable or no longer viable (sometimes as a result of new government regulations). It’s unfortunate but hardly unusual. Restaurants try to retain the flavor of their menu items that customers love without cutting into their profits too much. It’s not a bad thing that Connor complained. That kind of feedback is vital. If the business owners know that their customers are unhappy with the product/menu changes then they will take that into consideration and make adjustments to make them satisfied.
0:57 bruh i had this favorite all time ghetto ass chinese restaurant. Absolutely LOVED the food, owner was dope too. I go in this one day. Everything turned japanese style on the inside, frickin sake bottles on the walls and this same chinese owner just deadass throws me a konnichiwa 😂😂and he changed the entire frickin menu! Including my favorite meal! Plus he threw a +20% price on everything
I've called customer service over an item before. It was a cereal bar and the topping pieces were missing from the entire box. I wanted them to be aware of it but it wasn't a complaint, took a photo, sent them the batch number. I later got £20 worth of vouchers in the post lol
There’s a whole show in Holland where they ask questions like that plus the origins of the product to find out how truthful the packaging is for example so I mean… they go from calling the number on the box to going to the factories and farms.
Keuringsdienst van waren is amazing!
Connor would have been a Karen if he tweeted them, which was an option he has with his following. Sending an email or making a phone call isn’t rude, that’s why they have customer service departments
The mixed bag moment is when the food's taste changed, but the food actually tastes *better*.
I never had experience with local restaurants here (in Thailand), but in 7-11 and it broke my heart to this day.
Back in 2014-15, they start selling the carbonara sandwich (italians, please don't murder me) and it was so great, it was a banger I have it almost everyday for 3 years and then I have to save money for my intuition, so I have to stop buying fast food. 1 year later, I started a part-time job because I can manage the time in university and I bought the same carbonara sandwich for some good time, but it didn't provide anything. It tasted a lot blander than the original, not having any nice fragrant, having less ham and mushrooms. I know that many products decrease their amount of ingredients through the years, but this one really hurts me the most to this day. While pizza company and KFC had never failed me, not even once.
The same pack of sausages in the local supermarket can have 3 different recipes depending on the pack, it's so annoying when one of them is clearly inferior.
There was a coffee place I used to go to which had the best Frappuccinos I've ever had. I used to make trips specifically just to go to that place. One day I went with my friend and asked for my usual order when they said "sorry, our new management wants to only serve hot coffee now"
And I just looked at them with a blank expression, confused and just went "what? Ummm, ok... uhhh... I guess I'm not a customer anymore..." and awkwardly walked away. It was heartbreaking and weird. Also, they went out of business soon after that for some reason 🙄
RIP old Lunchable pizza bread, you'll be missed.
Y'know what's worse than either option? The little childhood hole in the wall, which you'd hoped would always be there, straight up closing down. That hurts worse than the food starting to suck, because you can't even get the knock-off version of your favorite food anymore. It's just gone forever.
RIP Kinesergrillen. I hope the owners are enjoying their retirement, but nobody did fried food like them.
Connor with that cheese dunkers story is like when Ben 10 turned into AlienX and replicated the universe, except some things are a bit different
I remember that I felt the same with one restaurant in my hometown. I immediately felt that noodles taste different, and it appeared that the chef moved away. Interestingly, my parents did not notice the change, but I guess they did not like those noodles as much as I did.
I agree with connor, as a fellow 20-odd, it has changed. And yes, it is typically 20-odds who buy dairy-lee dunkers because they're so damn expensive that parents don't buy them. My personal Favourite is the garlic tubes one, and they've really toned down the garlic flavour.
Also, the tv show was called "How It's Made" and it's around on youtube these days.
I mean... in a sense, you can have a valid reason for asking a company if they changed the recipe of a food product of theirs. Food allergies for example are a good reason for wanting to know the ingredients making a product.
The way these three chads just tangent from one subject to another is a work of art.
i think this whole clip is the perfect metaphor about this podcast if they just replace the discussion about food with a discussion about anime then it all sums up.
same podcast but we all know its different now.
Yes Garnt, I know the rules.
Lmao Connor takes everything to the next level, even procrastination.
no cap, I once got a 12 milk pack, and one of them was tasting weird, so I called the company, told them one of my 12 milks was weird, and they just sent me a 12 milk pack and a we are sorry mail, lol. Sometimes just letting them know might get ya some free food, and it actually helps the company get better ngl
I freaking love this Connor! You should always confirm your suspicion about food 😂
connor's changed recipe story reminds me of the time I got so pissed my favourite ready made gravy flavor from a reknown brand in my country had been discontinued, I wrote to them demanding to know if and when they were planning to bring it back, because all their other flavors were shite and they proceeded to send me an whole box with all of their ready-made gravies so - as they said - I could try them all and find a new one I liked XD
One more story to the anthology that is Connor's Bizarre Adventures
Garnt moves every two years, and he has that much junk??
Whenever I move, I try to clear out as much unnecessary junk as possible (or store some stuff in boxes at my parent's house). A friend went extreme and sold or gave away so much stuff that all he had left was a backpack of camping stuff and two military duffel bags of minimalist possessions. He said it was liberating and it allowed him to go off on extended back roads vacations across many countries.
We went from cheese to procrastinating.
Connor has a point
losing it over Conner and Joey yelling about this and Garnt just quietly breaking down in the corner
whats even worse is you go to get once of your fav dishes and they dont even sell it anymore
I feel stuck on both sides of this conversation. Like things that change in ingredients, it could potentially throw off the whole taste, but also don't know if I've ever really gone out of my way to find out about stuff like that, but I understand the urge to know something like Connor did.
Another thing to take into account is that your taste can change as you grow up. For example, I hated the Big Mac as a kid because of its special sauce but nowadays I like it.
@@wchan39 oh very true!
@@wchan39 Yeah, taste buds can change, but if you've ever been in a situation like this, not necessarily with a company, it can be with your mother's cooking or something, then you'll know when something's been changed. It's easy to tell, especially if it's something that you really liked.
“But you move every 2 years”
I’ve lived in the same town my entire life.
This one's going in the favourites, hehe. Intentionally or not, you guys are so good at being entertaining :P
Costco I beg you to bring back the combo pizza
There are so many snacks and stuff from my childhood that have changed recipe and they either taste worse or are much smaller due to inflation. This pisses me off so much.
Oh man. Yes. Cravings take years and years to cement themselves in my subconscious - so the eventual aimless searching for that *something* I can't find anywhere anymore can be surprisingly bothersome. The constant want for something you can't have anymore can get oddly deep into my headspace for something that's just... it's just food, FFS, but I'm bothered.
Whether it's because the source is either not available (sad) or just doesn't taste the same (utmost betrayal) ,the sheer disappointment of finally making it to the source of the thing that's supposed to scratch your itch for the first time in a long while, or finally having spare cash to address a nameless craving, or just the build-up before you finally cave and decide to go get something and it then just being... *NOT IT* isn't a let-down I can adequately describe. It just bugs you on a deep background layer in the back of your mind that you can't address eventually, sometimes.
The lack of access to something that used to 100% be a source of good feelings is the main hangup for me, I think.
Is the guy in the Thumbnail the Aleksa Vulovic from "I did a thing"/"Boy Boy"? xD so cool!!
The local restaurant one hurts most when you come back to that restaurant and are all excited to go and get your favorite item and it's off
There are a lot of childhood Foods that have had the Recipe changed over the years, and its always noticeable.
I remember there was this drink named "WHAM" that was sold in groceries where I'm at when I was a kid, and it was so good, and when they stopped selling it I was so sad.
Connor is not crazy. I work in a call center for....um. A very large pharmacy that also happens to sell their own brand of food stuffs. I get calls about our cans of nuts way more often than I think we should. People complaining about how some of the nuts are broken or if its mixed nuts how there isn't an even distribution of nuts. People will call about anything.
Finally, a new episode of Connor's Bizarre Adventures
Had the same thing happen to me when they changed the recipe of my favorite cup noodles. That shit hurts so much. They even added "better flavor" on the front...I almost cried🤣
"Bcuz Who Cares?"
"I care" 😂
Rip in McDonald's snack wrap
i had the fast food thing happen in canada at tim hortons ( when burger king bought them out) they discontinued the ham and swiss sandwich, and replaced it with ham and chedder. its good but it will never be that old sandwich ever again :(
i'm just gonna grab the chef's numbers at this point, x) to know whey they going next
Bro, like 7 years ago, before I moved to study, my friends and I used to go to a very tiny italian pizza place (like it only fits the employees kinda small) and we got this one porcion pizzas, with the base and ingredients on top but on top of that another base and more toppings and it was like 2$ and it was delicious and filling... Now those slices don't exist anymore and it makes me sad every time I go visiting
I had a similar experience to Connor but with Burton's Wagon Wheels. It was very much a nostalgic snack from my childhood, as I used to have them often when I visted my grandparents. Fast forward 20 years, I saw them heavily discounted and picked up 4 packs... I UNDERSTAND WHY. 😑
Eeeeyyyyy.....It's nice to hear our boy Joey can appreciate our Indonesian cuisine back in Aussie. Go to Koenji man, a friend of mine from Bali opens an Indonesian restaurant there if you'd like to have one
When I was a little kid, Trix cereal was probably my favorite or one of my favorite cereals but after they changed them from being shaped like fruit to being spheres like every other cereal, I felt betrayed and boycotted them. I just did not eat them until they brought back the shapes which I think wasn't until 5ish years ago? But now they make my stomach act up..
Damn, hit me with the Pain Peko not even a minute in.
I'm on Joey and Garnt on local restaurants but I'm on Connor on asking the company
Top anime betrayal: Taco Bell removing the caramel Apple empanada from their menu.
those complaints Connor was making gives off Nanami Kento vibes
Connor is inspiring me to collect all those Dum Dum lollipop wrappers and mailing them in for the prize rewards........where will they go? Will I get anything? Who's waiting on the other side for a bag of lollipop wrappers? So many questions that need to be answered.
Connor's like: I'm not crazy you crazy!!!!
connor has reached the highest level of procrastination
Connor just quoting Nanami word for word
the first minute just follows Nanami's route of becoming an adult, F for our monke
I felt like that when i found out McD's weren't selling milkshakes anymore
Yeah...thickshakes just ain't the same...
Dang I procrastinate like that too
i remember i would always get schlotzky's pizza at least twice a week for half a decade. they had this pesto basil sauce that was the selling point and i was just obsessed. then one day they replaced the sauce with just some generic marinara sauce and my life had changed.
This is how i felt when they got rid of the double decker taco from taco bell. I mean I order that since i was a kid and suddenly oh we don't do that anymore
This reminded me of what Nanami from jjk said of what becoming an adult really is, almost word for word, lmaoo
This whole video is me with the quesarito at taco bell
I get what Connor is saying, cause Checkers had a seasonal peach cobbler milkshake and it was so good. I waited this year for it to come back and they never brought it back. I use to get it every year and it was so good. Also there was a place my older brother and i loved that sold Steam buns. Our teammates introduced us to it and so we would get it after matches with boba tea. For those three years we would go back and get the same thing. They ended up closing, so we tried going to another shop and it wasn't the same. I was so sad and I'm still am.
reminds me of that one episode from icarly with the cake recipe
Connor is right. They stopped making sour jelly beans in southern africa and i still havent recovered
this has the same energy as Idubbbz calling the Planters company about their ratio of mixed nuts per can
Finding more fallen-out hairs on your pillow, watching your favourite spread bread disappear from the convenience store. The accumulations of those little despairs is what makes a person an adult.
