Have microwave rice multipacks with individual flavoured bags disappeared from shops?

What has happened to those little individual steam bags of rice in a larger pack? SO useful if - like us - you have to cook different meals for everyone!
I could pop those in the microwave to go with most meats or fish.
Yes, there are still (the world's most boring) golden rice, but the mushroom, moroccan etc flavours have disappeared.. why? :-(

Lidl are notorious for selling limited edition flavoured rice then by the time you decide you would like it again gone never to be seen again. There was a mango flavoured one recently, never seen again. I'm waiting for the onion bhaji to disappear.

I bought a pouch of rice/quinoa with seeds in, and it was amazing. They haven't had it since.
I think the lesson here with Lidl is, if something new appears that you like then stock up because they wont stock it again.

They did garlic crisps a while back which were lush. And obviously not sold again 😡

Oh, it's SO annoying, isn't it?
Are we supposed to buy a million packs of nice things on the off chance that they're never seen again? The rice/quinoa/seeds does sound good, @RachelReevesFringe but I'd want the onion bhaji rice to disappear too, @TroysMammy lol!
Thanks @SuperSharpShooter for the Farm Foods tip!

I literally buy these no matter what supermarket I go to, Aldi, Tesco and Sainsburys definitely all have them permanently.

@FrogsWormsandButterflies I tried Tesco & Sainsbury's yesterday. :-(
