Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

I've been attributing it to enshittification. At a minimum, changing recipes

When the Twinkie brand was bought out from bankruptcy, I tried it again for the first time in a long while. Had the same reaction as you

In the 70s I seem to remember twinkles having a banana stuffing that was infintielty better than the shitty vanilla. They have been enshittifying for decades.

the original banana creme filling changed to the 'plain' creme during ww2, and never reverted back when bananas were readily and cheaply available again.

the banana variety sold now is definitely not the made the same.. far less banana and more artificial flavorings.
