I want to know how can it be new and improved? How do you improve new?
My favorite bathroom cleaner went 'south.' With the water we have here..that was the only cleaner that got the "throne" clean. Makes me so mad!!!

Years ago Uncle Ben had a rice and stuffing mix that my family loved and then it disappeared. I'm like you when DH is gone by subbing ice cream for dinner, but don't think ice cream can replace Uncle Ben's stuffing mix. LOL!

My thoughts exactly! I had a favorite flannel fabric in yardage and a jelly roll. I wanted more of it, but was never able to find it. The shop I purchased it from didn't carry it any more. I haven't been able to find it in other stores either. I guess they just moved on to other things.

I hear you! It's also frustrating when companies fix things that aren't broken and the products that are "New and Improved" don't work as well as they did before the 'improvement'.

I have been wearing the same style of under garments for over 30 years and now they stopped making that style. I can't help it now if I have panty lines. I hate, hate, hate it. I happens all the time.
