But sometimes, change simply goes too far: like what some are calling a soft and mushy reformulation of the Pal-O-Mine bar, manufactured by St. Stephen-based Ganong since 1920. The Pal-O-Mine, sold in a yellow and red wrapper with cursive script, consists of two pieces of brown sugar fudge coated with dark chocolate and bits of peanuts. "Our Pal-O-Mine Bars have been reformulated due to a change in manufacturing processes," Ganong said in a statement. The current formula does have a creamy texture versus a sugar fudge bar. "When you have a classic, and it's something that people expect, to radically change the formula takes away the uniqueness and the nostalgia of this particular chocolate bar," McBriarty said.
