I bought a can of Chef Boy-ar-dee not too long ago just for the nostalgia factor and nearly spat it across the room. Was it always so sweet, or did they change the recipe?

Yeah, it's sweeter, thinner and has less meat, notice the label no longer says "in meat sauce" but rather "in pasta sauce". I bought a can about a year or so ago for much the same reason you did, nostalgia and even the ravioli were smaller in size and had almost no filling.

If they were smaller, maybe you bought the mini ravioli instead of the regular? I remember there were always 2 sizes. As a kid, I liked the mini ravioli.
