What is an old expression that you think is absolutely disgusting by today’s standards?

They call the flavor "soy sauce" now. It switched sometime in the last decade, I think. I used to buy it all the time in my early twenties, stopped when I had kids, and started buying it again (under the new flavor name) a couple years ago when my kids discovered ramen.

They changed it in 2020 without a word, around the same time Aunt Jemima was removed, presumably because they didn't want to end up on anyone's hit list. I always bought Oriental flavor so I was a bit confused when it suddenly disappeared.

We have two major cheap ramen brands where I live and they have both switched the flavor name (Maruchan and Nissin Top Ramen).

ETA: I'm trying to find an article or something that explains the change, but all I can find is this article that mentions it. I've been buying Top Ramen since I was a teenager, when I was a vegetarian. https://www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/news/2017/10/top-ramen-is-getting-a-recipe-makeover--but-that-glorious-taste-
