What HAPPENED to the coffee I loved?!

I have been a dedicated Foldgers Black Silk K cup buyer, it was perfect, strong enough yet smooth and just perfection. I noticed it diasappeared from stores at the end of 2014 and suddenly has reappeared. It is definitely not the same coffee though, it tastes like water, horrible. I even went so far as to suspect my Keurig machine and washed it, running 2 tanks of hot vinegar through it, followed by 2 tanks of water. Same result, the Black Silk is just not right. I have other coffee here that tastes exactly the same so it is not my tastebuds. What is up? Looks like I will be moving on to a different brand and throwing the rest away.
My daughter and I love this coffee. We prefer a stronger coffee and this is perfect and has a rich flavor too. I always make a pot or two on the weekends. Especially warming during the winter.
Normally my husband and I are hardcore Foldgers Black Silk coffee drinkers. The last night 2 cans however are not the high quality product as we have previously grown accustom to. Bring back the fabulous taste of Black Silk!
I just love the flavor of Black Silk first thing in the morning or any time of the day for that matter. While on Christmas vacation at my sister's home, I took along Black Silk grounds in a baggie. My sister commented that she liked the aroma and asked to have a cup. After her first sip, she stated that it is a nice flavor then asked what brand it is. She too is now enjoying the richly bold and silky smooth taste of my favorite coffee brand - Folgers Black Silk ... Mmmm!
My wife is a loyal Folgers drinker. She loves the Black Silk for its strong flavor. After two cups of her Black Silk she is ready to take on the world and in her happy place. She is then ready to pay bills, do errands, in general be active.
If a store is out of stock, we will not buy any other brand. So we keep a good stock at home and don't let it run too low.
I have always preferred dark roast blends, saw Black Silk about 2 maybe 3 years ago and never looked back. I even travelled 3 miles past regular store when they was out to get some. Now I live in a disabled housing complex and have made many converts there as well. I have to buy a couple extra containers a month for the less fortunate so they can have good coffee too. This could be the only coffee Folgers needs to make in my opinion. :-)
I love Black Silk, it is the best. It is very smooth, yet Bold. It's the best dark roast coffee I have ever had! I would also highly recommend Black Silk decaf for everyone who loves Black Silk but doesn't like nor can handle caffeine.
