I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

I've noticed the same thing with cool ranch Doritos. A while back they seem to have realized they went too far making them practically naked. They were heavily seasoned for several months but now it seems like the level of seasoning has been creeping down again. No idea why they single out that one flavor. Does it have silver in it, or something?

You have to turn the bag upside down for two hours before opening. It re-ranches the flavor molecules, so when the oxygen hits them when you open them it has that cool flavor you are looking for. If you don't disperse the ranchaloids properly, it won't fully oxidize.

What probably was happening is some bags were getting shaken or were flipped over during stocking right before you bought them. Those had the extra flavor because the ranchaloids were properly dispersed, but when you left it sitting at home too long before opening, they all sunk to the bottom, hence no oxidiation, and very little flavor.
