Honeycomb cereal formula change

Visually the difference is small but the new formula is not as fluffy as the old and the color is darker.
I have been eating this cereal as a snack for years and its a favorite but this last box i purchased is different. It taste like the generic version. Not the light crisp texture of the original, but it taste gritty and mushy. The box that honeycomb is usually sold in is also a larger box because the cereal is very light. It is now sold in the regular sized boxes. No change in price. To be fair the new formula is more dense so maybe its the same weight. Not sure.
I am unfamiliar with the original ingredients so I dont know what was changed. Possibly just the ratios. It also tastes less sweet.
As far as I am concerned, it is now inedible. I will be donating it to the local raccoons that come around. Not fit for human consumption.
If this is a cereal you loved, I am sorry to bring you this news. but its gone.
Honestly, sugary cereal getting less tasty so you want to eat it less is gonna be good for your health. I'm not gonna break down and cry about Doritos getting more expensive either.
That's fair. But it was one of my comfort foods and I often brought a bag of it on trips since it's not messy.
