>brand is bit pricier but known to be high quality
>gets sold to large corporation hoping to use brand recognition while slashing quality
>brand now sucks and everyone moves to something else

That's what happens when (((private equity firms))) get a major share of the company.

Because it makes money???
Why do people get a job and go to work? Same answer.
Solution: do things that are good for you and don't get wrapped up in the affairs of strangers. Don't let the things you love become dependent on strangers.

I don't get buying premade sauce. If you dice up some onion and garlic and cook down passata for like 20 minutes it tastes great and is probably 1/5th the price

You commie faggots don't understand capitalism, do you?
If you are unwilling to pay more for the same product year after year, the product has to be made in a cheaper way. If you are opposed to this, you are a communist jew that wants to destroy the world's only functional economic system.

you could do this with better technology cutting costs instead of lowering quality of the product

I love these memes. They're so zesty lol

Oh no, I might have tο make my own 5 minute spaghetti sauce with actual fresh ingredients like a filthy fucking wop instead of buying artificially sweetened carcinogen

what "better technology" is available for squirting sauce into a jar

Heres an actual question. Can anyone actually provide evidence showing changes to the recipe or are these sheep just bleeting for no reason. Tons of this stuff made by the old recipe is likely still on the shelves and warehouse so this comes across as people bitching to bitch.

Money buys back your time, spending a few dollars to save 20-30 minutes on homecooked pasta is a fair deal.

It was always overpriced and nasty.

I love capitalism but sometimes prices should be going down, especially when costs go down. But regardless of harvests, standards, employees let go, the costs only seem to go up. Strange how infinite growth can be the only way

This. I thought it was a /ck/ meme like Aardvark hot sauce. Rao's is shit. Really shit, like worse than Prego and all that meh tier garbage.

Do people actually like Rao's? That's crazy to me. I think people should have gone through the same process I did. Fall for hype, pay way too much, find out it's shit, then be angry at the brand forever.

you idiots realize rao's was bought by private equity in fucking 2017

I make about $46 USD an hour, and I can work remote, so I can take extra time when I want. Then there's time and a half past normal working ours.
In the time I could make a homemade sauce, I could make enough money to buy 25 jars of the stuff.

Just simple math

List of ingredients looks the same, but they changed the tomato type they use to cheaper, more sour, more watery ones.

Hopefully you're not into mathematics as a profession, as you'll get fucking fired soon.

20 minutes = 1/3 hour.
46 per hour / 3 = 15.33
or
(46 * 1.5) / 3 = 23

So you're saying that you can buy 25 jars of premade sauce for between 15 and 23 dollars. What a stupid cunt.

Yeah, I get them at Lidl for 99 cents a jar.

>>21979878
I knew that these fucking faggots would ruin it, but I didn't guess they'd do it almost immediately. Jars now start at ten fucking dollars minimum here in Leafistan, too.

I can't even buy DeCecco sauce, anymore, because they stopped making it right after the pandemic. Now I'm stuck with sugary Brooklyn-style bullshit for the rest of my life. Thanks a lot, Mr. Rosenblatz.
