Young people have no idea what it used to smell like. For a decade everything reeked of smoke and hairspray.
Everywhere you went felt like a bowling alley.
Everything you touched had a thin sticky layer of cigarette smoke gunk on it. Hell I remember doctors casually smoking in examination rooms.
You could taste it in the air
Galadriel: Feel it in the water
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes.
This is so real. Like everyone had a broom on their heads. It was full on capybara hair.
🎶I feel it in my toes...
(I got you!)
Christmas is around us,

now that you mention it, cheese burgers taste different than they used to because of this most likely.
They changed the oils they cooked with from tallow to whichever vegetable oil is cheapest. Those newer oils burn at cooking temperature and add a flavour to the fried meat
That happened in the late '80s when the lies about saturated fat became popular
Which lies are you talking about?
It was awesome.
