Tesco is Discontinuing My Cereal

[RhymesWithTangerine]

Look, I know there are bigger problems, but damn, Tesco - it was delicious and my breakfasting heart is broken.

I kind of knew the writing was on the wall when it went up to £4 for 500g. It’s hard to prioritise granola during a cost of living crisis, but I was prepared to. Tesco has just wimped out.

AIBU to think supermarkets inflict untold suffering on their customers when they discontinue objectively delicious food?

@Notooserious They are so much better than regular ones, aren't they?! I now regret everything I may have said when they put up the price of the packs recently... Just bring them back!

I will never forgive the loss of Heck 'The Beet Goes on Sausages'. They just suggested that they have others in their range, but they were the only ones I wanted, ever.

Oh and I forgot the Waitrose Pecorino dip (which I then replaced with the aforementioned Bang Bang dip). Both gone, it's like the universe doesn't want me to have nice dips. Or to smell nice!!

I came on to mourn the apple and cheese sandwich at M&S but I see others got there first! It’s weirdly comforting to know I’m not the only one who remembers it 😁
I also miss Start cereal 🤤

I do like a lot of peanut butter that's currently available, but the Sun Pat Creamy Crunch was a real favourite. Though almost certainly 100% unethical.

And...Gipsy Creams. No need to say more. I will never ever forgive McVities.

Non-food - I miss Witch Doctor irritated skin gel, which I can no longer find anywhere for over a year or two now. It was brilliant on itchy bites etc.

@evtheria we give our daughter one each day after nursery…I kept having to go and get another packet before I collected her as I would just eat them all 🤭

Noooo!
It says "temporarily unavailable" on the website... dare I hope that's true? They've discontinued my favourite ice cream sticks so I'm still in a huff with them.

Depends if you're allergic to tomato! The 'spoons risotto was so nice but they stopped that too :(

M&S used to do a really lovely Belgian chocolate oat cluster cereal. They discontinued it last year and brought out a new recipe which is completely inferior. It still hurts.

Morrisons’ bakery section used to have doughnuts with an apple filling. They had the perfect texture and were covered in powdered sugar rather than crunchy. I miss them so much and the jam version just isn’t the same

@PinkFootstool omg I used to love the passionfruit one years ago I first got in France, I’ve only ever managed to get the 0% sugar one here which tastes nothing like it

And orange Viscount biscuits. They have been gone for many, many years but I still feel sad every time I see the mint ones.

We used to have the orange ones at Christmas as a kid, and now Christmas isn't the same.

I’ve never got over the loss of Start cereal it was my go to after a workout, nothing else comes close.

They’ve discontinued my chocolate orange rice cakes too. I’m not taking it well. I’ve had 2 for breakfast every morning for years - my routine is thrown. I know it sounds ridiculous but I’m struggling so much now with breakfast. To add insult to injury, they’ve maintained a gap on the shelf where they belong. No label, just a dark, dark void. Which my soul has now also become.

I don't know how many decades ago Pret ditched its tuna nicoise wraps, but I still haven't forgiven them.

Pret Jambon Beurre - I don't think its been completely discontinued, but you can't reliably find it in every shop any more. Enraging.

Sprite with cucumber.

It was amazing, I got through colossal amounts of it, then one day it was just gone. As though it never existed at all.

Aztec bars, topic and now dark chocolate bounty 😭

2 things which I have never seen since. Both were limited edition/seasonal but still -

Aldi used to do a Wild Boar, cranberry and chestnut pate for several years. It was glorious and a Christmas staple in our house but I've not seen it for a couple of years.

In the early 2000's, Magnum did a '7 Deadly Sins' range and they were the best ever.

Etenmanns Chocolate Cake and their apple pie. No one else i know seems to remember this brand though.

Thanks for the Lincolnshire sausage tip!
I remember the prawn and egg roll too, it was delish..

I’m with you OP. cafe Nero changed the luxury hot chocolate/cafe Milano to vegan only and I haven’t got over it, I was devastated as I bought it loads, especially over autumn and winter and it was a lovely thick hot chocolate. I loved it and now it’s crap. They made it vegan to make it “more inclusive” but what about the dairy option? :(

Marks and Spencers beercan chicken <sobs>

They were lovely, as were Magnum Golds, also discontinued.

Bastards.
