You know they come in a cardboard tube you “thwap” it on the edge of the counter to open.
What has gone awry? They just don’t seem the same.
I’m buying, what I think is a decent brand. We check dates. Use by the time it recommends.
And they are just cardboard nuggets. Very small.
They always have been a mild taste you could doll them with goodies and have a nice first breakfast or snack.
Another one bites the dust. 
Nah, you need some “whomp” biscuits.
Seriously, I like any brand, but we don’t have them often because I’ll eat too many.
Nah, you need some “fugly” biscuits: Combine Bisquick and milk, drop onto pan via huge tablespoon, into the oven; they are fugly.
Nah, you need some sploder biscuits.
TIL…
My son says them cathead biscuits are the best.
That’s a loose drop biscuit that are, as Burpo says, fugly.
Something about the bready middle that is tasty. Drop of honey, tad of butter. Yummy!!
Enshittification of everything. They sure are convenient, but they always had a little bit of a off-flavor. Probably whatever it is they are using to cut-in with, some surplus wheel bearing grease.
Maybe Pillsbury reduced some of the 'splody goodness along with whatever caused them to puff up when cooking, because of the prevalence of the ‘biscuit bullet’ myth.
I don’t think it ever happened IRL, but Mythbusters deemed it ‘Plausible’.
FWIW, in high school I had a job in a Mom&Pop convenience store and one warm Saturday afternoon the AC was out when this popping sound came from the rear of the store where the thwomp biscuits were. All the doughy products were exploding. I was told later they were past expiration date anyway, but the extra heat put them over the edge. My two fellow clerks immediately grabbed up all the remains and had a snowball fight in the parking lot. There were no injuries.
Perfect! I mean, what else could you do?
I imagine the biscuits didn’t make it through uninjured.
Mama Plant used to cook those at breakfast. They were in layers you could peel apart. I imagine that made it easier to apply butter. I recall when I was very small and had a different chair than the adults I would peel the browned top crusts off and eat the soft inside. Father Plant would eat the crusts.
I think that’s a “Dad” thing. They always seem to scarf up the burned goodies. And enjoy them. 
I would love a flakey canned biscuit.
Grands does one. But I cannot see paying that price when homemade biscuits are cheaply made. Little flour, little butter and baking powder. And milk.
Devilishly easy.
Angelic taste.
(Dang, I should write food reviews)
There’s an even easier “camp biscuit” version. Just flour, heavy cream, baking powder. Avoids having to cut in butter or fat. I haven’t tried it, but by all accounts they are very good.
Nothing like roughing it in the great outdoors, eh? 
Biscuits are awesome (once in a while) but they are a bit of a pain. Mainly due to the Fire restrictions. No campfires, no charcoal. Stoves are OK. It’s possible to make skillet biscuits over a stove but they aren’t quite all that.
Am I crazy or have I seen people jamb sticks thru a wad of biscuit dough and bake/cook them over an open fire? I’m in!
(I was having a chuckle imagining packing for a camping trip: “Sleeping bag? Check. Tent stakes? Check. Matches in waterproof container? Check. Heavy cream? Check. Move ‘em out! 
)
Yep. Sometimes called “bannock”. There’s a lot of variants. Yeast breads being difficult in the woods, either too hot or too cold for the little guys. But a diet heavy in Baking powder was said to be hard on the stomach.
ProTip: Just bring a Cow. Much easier that way.
I’m ready, let’s moooooooove ‘em out!
Yeah, I never liked them. Didn’t taste real. You can make biscuits with Bisquick so easily, and they taste a whole lot better, why bother with 'em?
