"Old, Traditional" or "New and Improved" ?!


Question: If you are trying to decide which food product to buy and one packet says "Made to an Old, Traditional recipe" and the other says "New and Improved recipe" - which would you buy ?
(assuming they are the same price)

For me it would depend on the product.

For instance, if it was for something like chutney, I would go for the Old, Traditional.

But if it was for something like breakfast cereal, I would go for new and improved as this would make me think that it might have less sugar or salt, therefore making it healthier!

Hope this helps!

I would go with the "old" but I would certainly reword that definition. "Made in the Old World Tradition"
"Made from a generational family recipe"

I would go with both to try them both out then decide which is better

I'd read the ingredients and see which one has less artificial junk in it. But if I couldn't read the ingredients I'd probably go with the "original recipe" because I figure it's tried and true.

that would depend on my mood...

If I can see the ingredients then I would see what the 'new' bit is, if they have taken away something that shouldn't change the taste or would make the taste better then I would go for 'new'. If they had changed it for something I don't like then I would stick with the 'original', but I might buy both and decide on tasting which is better.
