Has the flavor and usefulness of Crisco suffered since they removed trans fats and partially hydrogenated oils?

Crisco still has trans fats/partially hydrogenated oils, just less than .5g per serving, letting them round down to 0g.

We don't use it much, but it seems to work about the same.

Ah yes. If you set the serving size low enough, you can sell trans fat while claiming it has 0g of trans fat.

Somebody should do this. Make little packets like the ones for butter.

That's how tictacs, which are almost 100% sugar, are sold as 0 sugar - servimg size is 1 tictac.
