Don't hold me to it in a court of lore ;) but I can swear the Mars and Cadbury in my childhood (1980s) had no corn syrup or syrups.  And I think it previously didnt use soy, seed, or flower oils. Now they have glucose syrup and or corn syrup. Highly changes taste.
Also the metallic taste is coming from somewhere, maybe preservatives they didnt use to have.

Yes, I am noticing a metallic taste in different food and drink items too. Who knows what they are using as preservatives now. I just stop buying those brands and then have to go trying other brands to see if they are any better; usually not.
