Not as I remember it

What have they done with it? Not bought it for some years as now cartons are so convenient, cheap enough and taste very good, but like so many products recently the 500g Tesco own brand has disappeared from my store leaving only the massive 1Kg pack and the ultra expensive brands to choose from. I was brought up on this old stalwart so thought it would be just as I remembered, but sadly it is now insipidly pale coloured, very, very bland and even the recommended sugar level isn't sweet enough either. School dinners custard was better!
