I don’t know if my taste buds changed or if the formula changed, but I loved that thing back in the 90s. I tried one a few years ago and it was cloyingly sweet and the bread was stale.
These days I’m pretty much always disappointed on the rare occasion I get fast food (usually while traveling and needing something I can eat quickly) because the bun is always stale. I don’t know if I just got to the point where it never tastes good or if things really used to be better.
The last time I remember it coming through a friend talked me I to trying it since I had not had one since they first came out due to not liking them. He said it was as good as he remembered. It was as awful as I remember, overly sweet sauce and a repulsive texture.
The bread being stale is a store level issue. My bun was fine, just a generic fast food roll like I remembered.
I probably disliked it because of having regular and easy access to good BBQ as a kid, including rib meat sandwiches. Not the best BBQ ever, just way above McDonald’s lame attempt.
Prepare for disappontment!
