"Sweets tasted better when I was a kid"
People think this is because they can't use the same additives these days that they could in the 1980's but it's proably because your tastebuds deteriorate over time.

In reality, improved cheaper.

This happened to Yorkies, and some popular brand of Prawn Cocktail Flavour crisps.
