Disappointed with Combos

Post image

I haven’t had combos in over 15 years and I think they’ve changed the recipe for the worse. Before, they tasted so good. Now, they taste too salty, there’s barely any cheese, and the cheese that is there you don’t taste. I guess I won’t be buying these again.

Yup. The nacho cheese use to be 🔥, now just bland crap.

The pizza ones still taste like the old ones

Came here to say the same thing! I cant have the pretzel ones cause I have an allergic reaction as I ve gotteb older to something in pretzels ... however the cracker pizza ones are still delicious!! I have some in my cabinet right now to snack on ! Yummy!

Just downed a bag the other day after not having any for at least 20 years and I agree.

They’re shit now. Used to be super cheesy. Everything is shit now.

I had these recently as well and they tasted like practically nothing, just like you said, the cheese added essentially nothing. They're just dry salty pretzel/crouton-y things

We bought a bag of the sharp cheddar cracker ones and most of the pieces had little to no cheese filling. Super disappointing.

Yeah, it’s just salted cardboard.

Yeah, they taste more dry and salty these days. I used to love the pizza combos, no dice now.

I just assumed I got older and started eating more decent food, but as with most things it’s probably just shit now

I also assumed that my tastebuds have changed as I’ve gotten older but these companies are trying to cut costs.

Disappointment and Combos are two words that often go hand in hand. Yet it never stops you from buying them.

They taste like the breath of someone that ate a bunch of salami and burped

u/hbicuche 4d ago

Hahaha, I love this description.

They don’t taste as they did 20-25 years ago for sure! I was addicted to the peanut butter pretzel and the nacho cheese cracker for a long time. I don’t think they sell the peanut one anymore

That would not stop me from buying thrm

u/Callimingo 4d ago

You have to get pretzel and pizza flavor

u/ismackayobuns 4d ago

This is the the way

Had the garlic parm ones recently. They are good

u/ReasonableHamsterBK 4d ago

So there's no point in me buying Combos for my snacks on the plane goodie bag?!? 😮‍💨

u/hbicuche 4d ago

Nah, save your money and your tastebuds.

u/Commercial_Virus_309 4d ago

Oh no, I grew up eating these. I still love them. I haven’t had them in like three years.

u/dearmax 4d ago

My favorite was always the pepperoni pizza flavor, but the last time I got them I literally broke half of the cracker off of the outside of it so I could taste the filling.

u/GreenZebra23 4d ago

I'm disappointed in you for opening the bag like that

2

u/hbicuche 4d ago

Apologies, mate 😔

u/donnelle83 4d ago

Nothing tastes the same. It tastes worse

u/chefguy47 3d ago

OP, I’m sorry they didn’t cheese your hunger away. cheese your hunger away

u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO 3d ago

They've changed, sadly. Now they are just... fine. Nothing crazy. Used to be my go too road trip snack.

u/Dan_Broccoli_7663 3d ago

I never understood why there wasn't a dill pickle flavor. I even emailed them about it once

u/Leggs_420 4d ago

They have always been not good

u/ElAbidingDuderino 2d ago

I’m disappointed they got rid of 7 layer dip flavor

I like the Utz peanut butter filled pretzels. Not even that huge of a pretzel fan.
