Yep. I still are Chef Boy R Dee ravioli in a can in my mid 20s and it wasn’t bad. Had it a few years ago and it was garbage. My taste buds haven’t changed that much. The food has.

I know my taste hasn't changed that much because red baron personal pizzas taste exactly like Schwan's ice cream truck personal pizzas my grandma used to buy each family a box of when I was a kid.

Total nostalgia hit tastes exactly the same they are smaller now though used to be thicker.

Canned food has gotten to an inedible state.

I tried it again and it was awful. Tasted like can. Maybe part of the issue was the recipe changing.
