Man, you scotch drinkers really have it bad lol!! I can't think of a single item that I consume short of soaps, where the recipe changed so drastically.
Well I guess that's not true, Levi's really sucked there for years. As did Harley's. I remember going into a Harley dealer back in the day ogling the bikes. When the pusher... I mean sales associate came to try and get me to buy, I told him flat out that I would have loved to buy a Harley, but their bikes were simply pooh so I was going to have to go Green. He literally said to me, "Yeah well, you'll never know how many friends a Harley owner has until you are broken down on the side of the street and everyone comes out to help you." I didn't want to but I couldn't help myself. I laughed in his face, and then walked out.
I remember one of the guys I did a road trip with had a Harley that caught fire when it got rained on. Early 70's IIRC.
