So has anyone tried the new Butterfinger candy bars with the so-called new improved recipe? I have. It's gross. A friend of mine said it tastes like corn flakes and tree bark wrapped in chocolate.
Eww. I really enjoy Butterfingers, too!So has anyone tried the new Butterfinger candy bars with the so-called new improved recipe? I have. It's gross. A friend of mine said it tastes like corn flakes and tree bark wrapped in chocolate.
OH NO! I guess they weren't selling fast enough. I haven't eaten a butterfinger in some time, so its partly on me. Sorry about that. I think what Butterfinger always needed was more chocolate, but chocolate was also the more expensive part. I liked the crumbly texture, but the chocolate was always disappointingly thin.So has anyone tried the new Butterfinger candy bars with the so-called new improved recipe? I have. It's gross.

That's just confirmation bias.I waited years to try a Hershey bar and it sucked so thanks for the heads up.
Yuck.Eww. I really enjoy Butterfingers, too!
There is no more chocolate in a Butterfinger than there is pork in a "bacon flavored Doritos".I think what Butterfinger always needed was more chocolate,
What's not to like?.....like corn flakes and tree bark wrapped in chocolate.
Darn it! The old butterfinger was one of my favorite bars-- Bart Simpson notwithstanding.
I haven't tried the new one-- what was the motive for revamping it, anyway?
Was it akin to the New Coke fiasco? Sure, in blind taste tests, the new recipe did slightly better over Pepsi. So what?
People are not robots-- appreciation of the item, how much it cost (how dear it is to obtain), and other intangible things, are just as important-- nay, may even be more important to Human Enjoyment.
There have been studies using wine, and actual MRI/CAT scans of brain activity, among humans with respect to perception.
As it turns out? Our perception of the item can be more important to our enjoyment level, than the actual content of the item in question.
For example-- measuring people's enjoyment of wine can be done using a CAT scan or other measure of brain activity. You begin with a Known Quantity-- honest, high quality wine, being drunk by an aficionado of wine. Contrast to an el-cheapo drink. Measure the brain's activity in both instances.
Then, begin the experiment: Without the participant knowing which wine is which? The enjoyment goes down-- sharply.
Whereas repackaging a modest wine in a very expensive bottle? Enjoyment goes up.
Put an expensive wine in an el-cheapo bottle? Enjoyment goes down.
Which is why New Coke failed miserably. Firstly? They told us it was "new coke", i.e. different.
That automatically set the stage to antagonize: We did not ask for a new formulation!
*sigh*
These days, any candy which is slightly brown, greasy & sweet is called "chocolate".There is no more chocolate in a Butterfinger than there is pork in a "bacon flavored Doritos".

You'll notice that even shameless shill BartI actually thought I had bought a rotten Butterfinger. The lady at the store told me it was the new recipe. Then I saw the tv commercial. The new slogan is "Don't lay a finger on my better Butterfinger".
Oh great. Another 'Improvement'.So has anyone tried the new Butterfinger candy bars with the so-called new improved recipe? I have. It's gross. A friend of mine said it tastes like corn flakes and tree bark wrapped in chocolate.
Update: this site, seems to indicate it wasn't actually "let's make it cheaper" decision.
The new owners of that brand? Seem to truly want to improve it.
Butterfinger Changed Its Recipe — Here's How It Tastes
I can never get that mentality that we always just got to improve something that is actually very popular and working fine as it is.The new owners should consider the old saying; "If it's not broke, don't fix it."
