Trillionaires crying over fixing a machine. Anyway, at least there's some money to be saved... Pronutro was an infinite void when adding milk.

no way in hell they couldn't recreate the original recipe, no doubt this was just a cost cutting exercise, only problem is the customers noticed, and still the MBAs refused to let go of their cost cutting plan in favour of restoring the product to its previous quality levelSo... we broke the recipe, refused to fix it and instead of admitting every decision we made on this is wrong we decided the best thing was to discontinue it.
Nobody to blame, Just "one of those things".
MBAs making things awesome since never.
Translation, it's cheaper to make, but not to buy.Key changes and facts about the new ProNutro:
- Reduced Sugar: The formula features reduced sugar per serving compared to the previous, according to News24.
- Texture/Taste: It has a different, "bitty/crunchy" texture, described by some fans as "lumpy" and having a different mouth feel, according to consumer feedback on Reddit.
- Production Changes: The move was prompted by an effort to improve manufacturing, reduce carbon emissions, packaging, and water usage, noted EWN.
- Permanent Change: The company has indicated this is not a temporary change and the formula is here to stay, says EWN.
- Discontinued Product: The Whole Wheat variant was dropped due to low demand.

We're discussing the taste/texture and you're whining about the cost.... literally missing the point. Value systems are not universal.moet ek n prentjie teken![]()
I liked it, it was a vivid taste of my childhood. My kids had only recently just discovered they loved it too. Then the formula changed which basically turned it into a generic pasty chocolate flavoured powder. Ew. Talk about bad timingWould have pronutro now and then, but wont miss it.
For those who enjoy it, after the debacle in changing the formula I am sure you already moved on
Companies more than ever seen more concerned about CEO salaries than actually making a good product.Those new Beemers and Mercs ain't gonna pay for themselves

The original disappeared years ago already. The flavour from your child hood is long gone, roughly around this timeI liked it, it was a vivid taste of my childhood.

I don't care what anyone says, the original chocolate version is absolutely legendary.
I'm disappointed and annoyed. I guess it's Corn Flakes ad infinitum now.
