Watching with interest - I got blank stares a few weeks ago in Tesco after the same question.

Found this - you obviously aren't the only one wondering where they are.

ps I love Twiglets

Also found this response from Jacobs Consumer Services on a websire where people were moaning about the lack of said Twiglets -
"Thank you for contacting us concerning your inability to find Jacob’s Tangy Twiglets. We regret to advise you that these are now discontinued and are unlikely to be manufactured again.

Before any product reaches the shelves, extensive and costly product development and research is undertaken. Only a small percentage of new product concepts reach the retail outlet, and even then, products may easily fail to gain the necessary appeal. Sadly, therefore, some products are removed from sale after only a seemingly short time.

However, a longer manufactured product may also be discontinued due to a falling off of popularity, resulting in it no longer being a viable product to produce.

We are genuinely sorry that we cannot give a more favourable response in this instance."

I am almost interested enough to petition them.

Can't they make one run of the things, in barrels with a five year shelf life?

I could stock pile then grin

If they brought back wispas.....
