Chocolate is nasty now

It started with the Cadbury bars a few years ago, they wouldn't melt right and they taste weird like there's gum or starch in it or something. Now lindt tastes the same.
I'm actually chucking out a lindt bunny for the first time in my entire life because it tastes awful. Not sweet, not chocolatey, just a faint hint of cheap tasting chocolate (like advent calendar chocolate from the nintees) and this bizarre starchy taste and texture. Am I imagining it?

@Vengabus 🤔you could be right about chocolate taste changing could be a case of your palere eoo why it tastes different i assume you checked the sell by date

@smiler2012 yeah sell by date is fine. I did think about maybe it was just my taste changing but I don't think it would happen in stages through different chocolate makes. Plus manufacturers have been finding ways to make their products for cheaper and cheaper for years, they want to make these things for dirt cheap and sell them for the maximum profit. Bags of crisps are more air than they've ever been, for example (potato chips)
