Velveeta used to have KRAFT all over the foil wrapping and it used to be shut down the middle and easy to open and re open now it rips and tears and there is no KRAFT all over it


I noticed the same on caramel wrappers too, no wording and thinner, cheaper wrappings



Tomatos cans used to have a pull top and now they don't



what else have you noticed

edit to add:

I think it is good that companies are doing things like this in order to save money instead of putting it all on the consumer
