Galaxy counters have been discontinued

Am reallllllly sad. I don't want minstrels. And I don't want to buy a bag of revels just to get counters. Also I don't want a bar of galaxy.
Everywhere near me is a counter free place. The only counters are the ones you put the till on.

Maybe the one show will do a bit on their untimely demise. I am sad.

What are galaxy counters?

Naked Minstrels

Dinodrivingacar · 08/10/2024 22:02

Not a brag, more reassurance.... I picked some up today from local coop. There was loads. Maybe just supply issues rather than discontinued??

Counters and minstrels are not the same thing so why are people mentioning minstrels. It’s like comparing apples with oranges.

Counters don’t have that sickly sugar grit wax shell. They’re far superior in every bloody way. Damn those who kill them off!

I'm still fucked off that Drifters were discontinued

BeyondMyWits · 08/10/2024 21:29

They haven't been discontinued,.

still have them here in Tesco, Morrisons, and even had some in my ocado order yesterday. They are even still featurd on the galaxy website.
Who said they were discontinued?

MeMyCatsAndI · 08/10/2024 21:00

None in the two big Tesco's or the big Asda. Small co-op. Corner shop. I wish I'd stockpiled but would have eaten the stockpile tbh

Aren’t peanut M&Ms just Treets with different colours?

Show quote history

Dear God! No they are not!! Treets we're a million times better!

Justsayit123 · 08/10/2024 19:54

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I had a packet just the other day
Had no idea it would be my last packet of Counters.

I have noticed, sadly, that Wrigley's no longer sell chewing gum (unless you want some form of menthol gum) in local shops anymore although you can get it in bulk online, oddly enough.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 08/10/2024 19:47

Dd bought some this week in Tesco & Co Op

HansHolbein · 08/10/2024 19:42

How dare they!

LockForMultiball · 08/10/2024 19:42

I thought they'd already been discontinued once and brought back? When I was a kid they only existed as the occasional one in a packet of Revels. Often seems to happen when they bring back discontinued things TBH — there's a surge of interest due to nostalgia, then interest dies down and they discontinue them again for the same reason they did the first time. Though to be fair they've been back on the market for about fifteen years now, which is longer than most reboots last.

IBlameTheDog · 08/10/2024 19:36

WHAT?????

This has ruined my week evening.

BellaPommefritio · 08/10/2024 19:30

Oh please don't let this be true-for the mid-50s teeth they are a vital alternative to Minstrels!

CoastalCalm · 08/10/2024 19:23

I don’t think they’ve been discontinued at all just not available at your local shop

PullTheBricksDown · 08/10/2024 19:20

FML. Really like them and haven't had any for ages but just thought, well, you know, they'll be there when I want them😫

Treets were much better than M&Ms. Thicker chocolate by far, which tasted much better.

The last time I tried M&Ms they were awful.

They taste artificial and that nasty colourings go over your fingers.

Fourfurrymonsters · 08/10/2024 19:17

Fuck SAKE 😭😭😭

CharlotteStreetW1 · 08/10/2024 19:15

EmeraldDreams73 · 08/10/2024 19:15

Omg nooo. We love them.

And we are all fat so can do without them but don't want to
