Food company sends quality control team cheaper sauce, then ignores their warning about low quality and releases it anyway: ‘The customers won't taste the difference’

'If it ain't broke don't fix it' could not be any more clear, and yet many companies, especially in the food industry, keep trying to change things that don't need changing.

I'm sure it will not come as a surprise to know that companies do that because they are trying to reduce costs and use cheaper products. And when you use cheaper products, well, then the food is going to taste much worse.

The employee in this Reddit story was fed up with how their company was dealing with a change to their famous dressing. Even after the QA team warned the SEO that the change really does make the dressing taste terrible, they decided to approve it anyway and send it to stores.
