Ocean Spray Cranberry High Juice Drink 1L
New recipe tastes awful
Before the sugar tax this used to taste great, however the new recipe cut the sugar in half and now it tastes awful. It's not fruity enough to be a true cranberry flavour, and now not sweet enough to combat the stale flavour it has now. This used to be my favourite juice drink, now I will not purchase it again and cannot stand the new taste.

Itsu Katsu Rice Noodles 63g
Delicious!
These taste amazing. The sauce is lovely - personally I let mine sit longer as suggested to deepen the flavour - though I usually don't add the spring onion. The noodles are really filling, I love to bring this as a quick lunch for work, as it's my favourite of any instant noodle product.

Naked Rice Long Grain Rice Japanese Katsu Curry 78g
Doesn\\x27t taste like Katsu
I eat katsu curry all the time so bought this to take as a work lunch, unfortunately the sauce - which can be made to three flavour intensities - doesn't taste anything like katsu. It's sort of meaty, more like rice in a weird gravy to be honest. Nothing at all like the rich and flavourful, spice-infused katsu curry I am used to. I used the amount of water meant to give the best flavour payoff, though if you'd tried to go for a weaker sauce I imagine it would have no flavour whatsoever. Really disappointed.

Mr Kipling Cherry Bakewell Ice Cream Tub 475ml
No cherries or pastry!
Opened this today excited to try as I love bakewell. It is supposed to be almond icecream, sauce, pastry and cherries. My tub had NOT ONE piece of pastry OR a single cherry. Not one solid ingredient in the entire tub, and aside from the sauce swirl on top, there were only 2 thin layers of sauce in the actual icecream. So basically paid £3.50 for a tub of mildly almond flavour icecream. I understand some batches will get more or less of the ingredients which are swirled in, but NONE of either? They have either seriously skimped on the ingredients or have massive manufacturing issues, as this was such a massive let down, won't be buying again.

Sprite Cans 8 x 330ml
awful new recipe doesn\\\\x27t taste like Sprite
sprite have now changed their new recipe and it is awful. Doesn't taste anything like Sprite, it's acidic without any flavour a lot like the extremely cheap basic lemonades you can buy. The new recipe has the cheek to brand itself as "low calorie" despite being way higher in calories and sugar than the old recipe (it used to be 12% and now it's gone up to 16% per can) and they have also removed the "all natural flavours" which explains the cheap taste, which is somehow acidic yet lacking any actual fruit flavour. Basically they have had to shove in a bunch more sugar and salt to try and mask the taste of the new artificial flavourings. Massive downgrade and so much more unhealthy than the old recipe, I'll never be buying this again, shame as it was my favourite drink.

La Famiglia Rana Classic Italian Recipe Kit Tagliatelle Carbonara 408g
Not as advertised
I bought these expecting the product to come with a sachet of cheese as shown on the product image, on the box and also in a second image showing the contents. The product does not contain this, it has only the pasta and a packet of sauce and nothing else. The pasta quality is fine, but the sauce is very runny and has to be cooked down a lot longer than the instructions say to not feel like water. The meat inside the sauce is also horrible, it looks nothing like the image. It is grey, pale and more than half the pieces I got (I bought 2 boxes) were just bits of rubbery fat and gristle, so we ended up picking out most of the "meat" as it was inedible and really off putting. The sauce itself does taste nice, it doesn't taste like a traditional carbonara, but the flavour is still better than others I've tried, although not enough to justify the price. The sauce will also set completely solid if you let this go cold, so you can't return for leftovers either. I won't be buying this product again, mainly though because of the false advertising, which has still not been fixed as it shows a different product from what you actually receive as the "kit" only comes with 2 packets, one of pasta one for sauce, and no cheese or anything else, not what is shown here.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Cornflake Cluster Mini Bites
Changed to cadbury, bad taste
These cornflake clusters used to be quite nice but now that they have changed to Cadburys brand they taste awful. The chocolate is gritty and claggy. It's pointless to make these a branded chocolate and charge more for them. They were fine as they were and tasted much better just being morrisons own. Will not be buying them any more definitely not at all worth the cost.
