Better tasting is like what a few others mentioned above.

Honey Comb changed their cereal in 2006 to something that looked like the honeycomb in shape but had a different texture to it and it tasted god awful. I too avoided buying Honeycomb to just this year, and I’m glad to find that it taste like the original once again. :)

“better tasting” probably just means they added more sugar to it, lol.

JERRY! I have been saying the EXACT same thing, basically that they pulled a coke classic on us and no one has been listening to me. I even stopped eating honey comb when i noticed the strange difference but when they came out with “now better tasting” it was like they where talking to me and all they did was bring but the good old taste!

FOR A WHILE HONEYCOMBS ACTUALLY DID TASTE DIFFERENT. LIKE IT WAS MISSING SOMETHING. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO THOUGHT THAT. BUT I RECENTLY BOUGHT ANOTHER BOX BECAUSE THEY WERE 5 for $10. IT SAID “BETTER TASTING” ON THE BOX AND SURE ENOUGH. IT DID TASTE BETTER. BETTER THEN IT DID FOR THAT FEW MONTH PERIOD. NOW IT TASE LIKE IT USED TO. SO YES, IT IS BETTER TASTING. IT IS KIND OF LIKE THE “NEW COKE” THING. THAT WENT TO HELL AND NOW COKE IS “CLASSIC” IT WAS JUST A WAY TO MARKET THE CEREAL.

This is to distance the cereal from the “Sensible Solution” taste that they rolled out last December and tasted horrible. Enough customers complained, so they had to tweak it.

The purple “better tasting” sign tells us that this box is not that lousy tasting experiment on the shelves a month ago.

I know. They sent me a free box with a letter explaining this.

no way i cant stand the new honeycombs. I just finished eating a bowl and omg. it friggin cut my mouth into piece and hurt my throat. you can only eat it normally if the entire comb is soggy or it will cut you. im so disappointed, but honeycombs have never betrayed me before so they obviously did something

Deane, if “clinically proven” irks you, you must really go nuts over “proprietary blend.” Maybe that’s why Honeycomb tastes so much better, because of a proprietary blend of ingredients that they can’t reveal, or else it would no longer be a proprietary blend…

I’m clinically proven to be more friggin’ awesome than Deane. I did a poll and everything.

(Poll was of 1 person, margin of error +/-90%)

This gets lumped in with “clinically proven.” I hate that phrase — I detest it.

Does it mean proven in a clinic? What clinic? Where? By whom? To do what? Certified by what authority?

Is my basement a clinic? If so, then I’m clinically proven to be friggin’ awesome. Why? Because I said “clinically proven.” Prove me wrong.

Maybe the Malt-O-Meal equivalent changed their ingredients and doesn’t taste the same as Honeycombs. So now it’s better tasting…compared to the generic crap.

OR MAYBE THE BOX ITSELF TASTES BETTER? Try eating the box, maybe it’s made of Honeycombs also.
