Many things have changed for the worse. I'm beginning to feel like my
grandparents. I thought they were old and grumpy and always
complaining about how things had changed... not for the better. Well,
that's me now.... and apparently you too. Corporations are bought and
sold, profits need to be made. If the gingersnaps seem different,
then they are different. Corporate recipes change not for flavor, but
the bottom line.
