4C changed its breadcrumb formula — home cooks say their cutlets taste...

Ew. I’m not huge on cinnamon to begin with, but even less so when it’s unexpected.

Cinnamon schnitzel? I don’t think so.

Maybe the company decided 'murrcans like it sweet (?). I mean, most commercial bread (not to mention soups, sauces, etc. etc.) have added sugar.

But yeah, WTH indeed :flushed:

Well, I found their explanation to be believable but who knows. In this day and age all it takes is for a few people to start bitchin’ about something online and before you know it thousands/millions more are jumping on the bandwagon whether they use a product or not. Then a company has to change its tune… somehow.

Personally, I could care less about these people and their first world seasoned breadcrumb problems.

Right? That hysteria over the Cracker Barrel logo was really something.

Crazy what people lose their ish over. Cray.Zay.
