Other unutterable things, too. I didn't like it so much, much as I wanted to, but the kids all loved it. Mind you, these 4 kids also don't drink much soda except on rare/special occasions, so anything sweet is sort of special and appealing.

I wonder if it's made with high fructose corn syrup now instead of cane sugar? That makes a real difference in flavor (the kind that has my husband seeking out Mexican-made Coke in a bottle -- happily not too hard in SF-- which still uses sugar rather than hfcs).

Stein Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:57:59 +0000 http://www.learningtoeatbook.com/?p=868#comment-805 Interesting comment about Yoo-hoo. I too have great memories of it as a kid, but the Yoo-hoo today is nowhere as good as it was back then. My olfactory can surely recall the great taste of yesteryear's version of Yoo-hoo. This modern day stuff is not even close. It's very disappointing - to say the least. Surely, they changed the formula and added a lot of "crap" in it - as you say. Sadly, so many companies inadvertently distance and/or alienate their older fans by cheapening their products and adding new and/or lesser quality ingredients. The nostalgic look, feel, and sensibility of the bottle and its iconic logo may serve well to reinvite us to try Yoo-hoo again. Though, I highly doubt that what's inside will keep us oldtimers coming back. Sure wish they would improve Yoo-hoo with a better choice of ingredients... Thanks for "jogging my mind here." Jeffrey R.
