Chips and candies don’t taste the same anymore. Discussion.

Posting here because I think it can be a nice discussion topic. Also want to know what others have to say about this. Have you noticed how chips and candies just don’t taste the same anymore? Back when we were kids, spicy chips were actually spicy, and sour candy made you squint. Now, everything feels… watered down. At first, I thought maybe it was just me, maybe our taste buds change as we grow up. But then I heard my friends complaining too. So, is it just nostalgia messing with us, or have companies actually toned down the spice and sour levels to match today’s kids? What do you think?
