MA BELL
WITH JUST LANDLINE PHONES AND RATES FOR LOCAL AND FOREIGN CALLS WAS JUST FINE. THAT WAS UNTIL AT & T TOOK IT OVER
AND RATES INCREASED AND THEN CAMES CELL PHONES
AND THE INTERNET WITH LOTS OF TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS WITH MORE SERVICES LIKE CABLE BUT QUALITY WENT DOWN. AND NOT ALL THE BUNDLES, GIFT CARDS
AND FREE APPS COULD BRING THAT BACK. ROADRUNNER
BECAME BRIGHTHOUSE
AND NOW IS SPECTRUM.
GTE
BECAME VERIZON
AND IS NOW FRONTIER.
A SKUNK IS SKUNK NO MATTER THE SMELL. AND LESS IS MORE.
HOSTESS CAKES
WAS GOING OUT OF BUSINES BUT DOLLY MADISON TOOK IT OVER. BUT THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT TOOK A NOSE DIVE IN MANY AREAS INVOLVING A FEW PRODUCTS. THE FIRST BEING THE CARDBOARD BASE THAT KEPT THE ITEM FROM STICKING THAT PREVENTED FOOD FROM BEING THROWN AWAY THAT IS NOT THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE CARDBOARD OR MAKE THE FATTY CUPCAKE THAT MADE IT PEEL AWAY EASY FROM THE BASE BUT THE NEW ONES CREATE WASTE. THEY ALSO PUT MORE CREAM IN THE CUPCAKE BUT THE CAKES ARE SMALLER. THE FROSTING ISN'T AS THICK EITHER.
WHAT IS BETTER IS THEY HAVE EXPANDED THE LINE WITH 3 NEW REGULARS AND SOME HOLIDAY THEMES CUPCAKE FLAVORS. PEANUT BUTTER HO HOS,
M& M BROWNIES,
AND MILKY WAY BROWNIES. THE BROWNIES ARE DRY AND NOT CHOCOLATE ENOUGH. BUT THE PB HO HOS ARE GREAT, I ALSO LIKE THE NEW CELLOPHANE CLEAR WRAPPER EVEN THOUGH THE HO HOS LOOK SMALLER AND THE COATING IS ALSO THINNER TO ME.
THE SNO BALLS ALSO WENT DOWN IN QUALITY WITH LESS CREAM AND LESS MARSHMALLOW COVERING.
DEPARTMENT STORES ARE BECOMING EXTINCT NO MATTER HOW THEY TRY TO STAY ALIVE.
LANDS END
WITH THEIR WONDERFUL CLOTHING LIKE RUGBY SHIRTS
STARTED IN A CATALOG, THEN ONLINE AND THEN INTO SEARS BUT NOW SEARS IS CLOSING STORES.
SEARS
ITSELF STARTED AS A CATALOG
AS WELL THEN INTO PHYSICAL STORE FRONTS
AND THEN FRANCHISED BUT NOW IS IN DOWNSIZING MODE. AS A KID I REMEMBER THEIR WONDERFUL CANDY AND NUT DEPARTMENT
AND THEIR ONE ONLY PET THEY HAD (SALLY THE TALKING MINOR BIRD).
THEY ALSO ABSORBED KMART
WHO IS NOW ALSO CLOSING STORES. KMART TRIED TO REVIVE BY ADDING AN APPLIANCE SECTION
AND ADDING SUPERMARKET SECTION
AND EVEN A MINI RESTAURANT ( MY STORE) BUT THEY WILL BE CLOSING SOON.
ALL GOT BEAT OUT BY TARGET AND WALMART.
