That food manufacturers think we won't notice when they cheapen ingredients

This is happening with countless items. I used to buy a chocolate cheesecake from my local supermarket, about four years ago. It was fabulous. Rich, lush, moorish, gorgeous. Well, that's been replaced by a poor excuse for a "cheesecake" which is rubbery, cheap tasting, and much smaller than it used to be. The filling tastes cheap, and the crust looks, tastes and feels cheap. The whole thing falls apart when you try and slice it. It's NOTHING like it used to be. It's not even good enough to eat anymore. (If I'm going to indulge in high calorie foods, I want it to taste really good)

Did they honestly think we wouldn't notice, or care?

I would rather pay more for quality items than have everything taste cheap. So why are all the food manufacturers acting like we all prefer cheap quality food, as if we voted for it? We didn't. Nobody asked us how we felt. They just assumed we're all too stupid to notice the difference.

Bring back quality food products, please. Get rid of Skimpflation it is ruining enjoyment of food, and that is actually a cruel thing to do to people who work hard, have hard lives, and just want some good food to help wash it all down.

Meanwhile, manufacturers are coming out with expensive DOG treats...
