Just need to vent.
So for the last 25 years, my goto safe food. The only food I have always been able to eat, has been Heinz Spaghetti strings. Not hoops, not shapes, not another brand. Those specific strings. And I really rely on them, I've probably eaten over seven thousand tins in the last quarter century. And it was the one food I never had to question. I could walk into any shop in the UK, grab a tin and know I could eat.
Well, those motherfucking pieces of human trash have decided that their execs in 2026 know better than everyone going before and all their customers and changed from "long cut" to "medium cut" strings. Which has changed the texture.
I got one last week, thought it was a weird end of run thing or something. But it was also the first time in fifteen years I've failed to finish a can, and the first time I've ever failed without being seriously physically ill. It's literally food I can eat even mid migraine when I feel like I want to puke.
But I just saw online that they've just changed it. Not added a new option, just changed it with no anouncement until people started calling them out on it. Their response? "We've changed from long cut to short cut, hope that helps!". No, it does not fucking help.
So now, I have lost my only real safe food, the thing that literally kept me alive for 25 fucking years. I've gone from "narrow but nutritionally fine diet" to being genuinely worried about my nutrition going forward.
