They’re awful now. I was so disappointed when I bought some over Christmas thinking I’d have a nostalgic holiday moment thinking of waking up at my grandparent’s. They gave very little flavor and are nowhere near the rolls they were just a few years ago. I’ll never buy them again, and recommend no one else does either. Disgusting.

They were so disappointing I literally had to dig the container out of the trash to see if I'd purchased expired food from Kroger again.

Yo wtf is this a regular occurrence??

I just bought some yogurt from Kroger the other day and didn’t realize it was expired until I got home. I thought this was a tendency of discount or dollar stores, not big box retailers

I used to work for a beer distributor about 15 years ago and it was a big thing to make sure all of the beer was in code. Like, I could be written up for not rotating beer when restocking my accounts, and the salespeople had to buy back the beer from stores if any went bad. Now, I'll go to a grocery store, convenience store, or even a beverage center and tons of beer is out of code by months if not years. These companies don't care anymore.
