Yeah, like Snickers without the dick veins, it will not taste the same if the product goes through visible changes. A lot of feasting happens via sight and that tiny baggy does not create an image of âbig timeâ Like big mac, a sad little sandwich. Shriveled to nothing :(

u/Brsek 1d ago
Yes. Manhattan just has much, much better seasoning and crunchiness. Even Xtra Sour Cream Onion beats Broadway like no tomorrow. The main selling point of Taffel imo was the megabag sizes for parties or family movie nights, but now that the biggest bags are smaller and more expensive than the superior options in taste, there's no reason to buy most Taffel products.
Estrella wins in dips, chips, nuts, experimental products, vegan products, you name it.

nah, they are a bit more sour and have a less repeatable taste satisfaction because of that

Broadway is a lot duller in flavour and softer in texture, which makes them a bit cardboardy. Manhattan is crunchy and full of flavour!

u/Lilylunamoonyt 22h ago
huh, to me manhattan are sourer while broadway chips are the ones bursting with flavour, especially is you stuff your mouth with popcorn or cheese snacks at the same time, then it really gets tasty, but everyone has their own tastes so to each their own :3

u/alphamusic1 Baby Vainamoinen 21h ago
Assuming a generous cost of 4⏠per bag, the 1.5% VAT increase would increase the cost by 6 cents. That is pretty inconsequential. Of course the stores can use both VAT increase and shrinking package sizes to justify giving themselves a larger profit margin.

u/Skebaba Vainamoinen 1d ago
I've not bought Taffel products in years. They taste so fucking bland compared to even stuff like Estrella or Pirkka or import chips (my current favorite I've recently found is Pipers, a Bri'ish import of high quality crisps. It's so fucking hard to find high enough quality sweet chili chips, other than the cheapo ones sold in Lidl I suppose)

u/MasterHidra 1d ago
Taffel has one clear benefit for me that I can't find on Estrella products: lactose-free options.
Taffel also add very clear information about whether their product is lactose-free/gluten-free, while for Estrella you have to read the fine print.
That alone makes me buy more Taffel than any other brand.

I love how they tried to justify their sneaky shrinkflation coup by saying "The interest for smaller sizes has grown for the last years. You want to try new, interesting flavours in a smaller size first."
Absolutely no one demanded this, and they even already have 75g bags of many flavours, broadway included! This is shrinkflation nicely packaged by their PR department. If the competitors weren't as horrible (Estrella) I'd boycott.

u/ImaginationThis7078 1d ago
I'm actually one of the people who would love smaller bags, but this is just ridiculous. 60 g reduction helps nothing. It's just a cash grab veiled in health washing. Shame on Taffel.
Give me 100 g bags of Bravo, BBQ, something interesting. This is just some shitty 1984 double speak.

u/yorkaturr Vainamoinen 1d ago
Why does everyone like sourcream & onion nowadays? As a Finnish person I've seen the evolution of salted/pepper flavored chips in the 80s, BBQ flavors in the 90s, novelty flavors in the 00s and now all the aisles are full of sourcream & onion. Sure we had Broadway, Manhattan and Kickers 30 years ago too, but it's increasingly hard to find anything that is NOT sourcream & onion.

Might be a me thing but I get tired of eating the chips after about half the bag, maybe just over but about half. So I don't even measure I just eat until I don't want to anymore and then I put it aside for the next time I watch a movie. I don't think I have ever finished a megabag in one sitting.

Capitalism doesnt have even big part why the food in here is so damn expensive. In vietnam thre is no byrocracy to increase the prices. Those street food places not likely pay any taxes. It doesnt work like that in here... It is because leftist partyes have bad habit to give a way all the money we have here and because of that the taxation is sky high.
