To be heartbroken at yet ANOTHER fave product being discontinued?

I have just discovered Thorntons have discontinued their strawberry fondant chocolate pigs, and I am quite frankly devastated. These have been my fave little treat since I was about 12, and now they are no more!

It's the latest in a long line of favourite products being discontinued - does anyone else get unreasonably irritated by this?! I'll start a list, feel free to add to it...

  • Thorntons strawberry fondant pigs (sob)
  • Benefit 'So Hooked on Carmella' perfume
  • Lush Aqua Mirabilis (my thighs will never be the same again)

I've never had problems getting them in Spain, but I've not seen one for years.

Trevor Sorbie Beautifully Straight shampoo was just the most amazing smell and the it didn't fade. It was sooo nice. Then they changed the bottle and it smelt like old spice. I seriously was gutted.

I've never got over cheese snaps and worcester sauce flavour wheat crunchies being discontinued Sad

I don't dare read this thread in case I'm reminded of any other lovely things that are no more.

I have a stash of so hooked on carmella 😏

I also have a stash of clinique yellow loose powder but I'm already worried about running out.

My favourite things getting discontinued has made me a bit of a hoarder.

Oh Ross oven crunchies? Very like Tater Tots you get in the US?
Iceland do similar but with bacon, I'd love to see the Ross ones back or for Iceland to lose the bacon. Delicious.

I'm still raging about Body Shop tobacco flower perfume being discontinued about 10 years ago. And Clinique Simply.

So gorgeous - when that was on it's way out my Body shop had the foam bath in a bargain bin for, oh I don't know, 30p a bottle or something crazy and I bought gallons. I used to run the bath and leave the door open so the scent would waft around my flat it was so delicious, really heady. I never had the perfume though.
I still miss Monsoon blue lagoon and Cornsilk face powder.

wildbhoysmama · 08/08/2017 22:26

PACERS!!!! Yes, Cycle!!! Do you remember a Splicer bar?! Was like Opal Fruits all rolled into one in a bar. Delish and no one remembers them either!

Roomba · 08/08/2017 22:26

Aldi's low calorie Instant Hot Chocolate. It sounds daft but I've been drinking gallons of this as trying to cut down on coffee. It's the only low cal hot choc I've ever had that was actually drinkable. I got my mum and dad addicted to it as well, and now it's gone Sad

They still do the regular instant hot chocolate but that's all gritty and I'd be adding a billion calories a day if I switched to that - no thanks.

wildbhoysmama · 08/08/2017 22:36

Pp Texan bars were so bloody delicious. My childhood in a bar. I want one now!!!
