Which of these discontinued foods do you want to see brought back?
REMEMBER the original Milo chocolate bars? Yowies? Pollywaffles? Sadly none of these chocolates can be found on our supermarket shelves. Is it time to bring them back?
REMEMBER Yowies? Pollywaffles? The original Milo chocolate bars?
For many of us, these treats are a symbol of happiness and a memory of a simpler time, but have long since gone from supermarket aisles.
To add insult to injury, consumers have been disappointed this week to find that Adriano Zumbo has discontinued his delicious Bake at Home Flourless Orange cake due to poor sales. It is now impossible to find the cake mix in all major supermarkets.
A spokesman for Adriano Zumbo said the cake mix was removed because it was not as popular as other Zumbo products but he hoped the cake could be reintroduced in a future market.
So which discontinued foods do you want to see back on our supermarket shelves? News.com.au asked our readers and these were their top picks.
CONFECTIONERY
The original Milo chocolate bar — Discontinued in 2003. Sadly we couldn’t even find a photo of the delicious treat. Nestle has replaced it with the energy food bar pictured below, and we’ve got bad news folks. According to a Nestle spokeswoman, it’s not possible to bring the old-style Milo bar back. They no longer have the equipment to produce it.
Bertie Beetles — Discontinued in 1970, only sold in showbags now and available on special occasions.
Cadbury Coconut Rough — Discontinued in 2010 (est.)
Pollywaffles — Discontinued in 2009.
Violet Crumble bags — Discontinued in 2010 (unfortunately we were unable to source a photo of the fun size bars. The long chocolate bars pictured below are still available.)
Cadbury Marble chocolate— Discontinued in 2012 (est.)
Peters Hazelnut Roll ice cream — Discontinued in 2009.
SNACKS AND DRINKS
Burgerman chips— These are discontinued from major stores but can sometimes be found in small corner stores and discount stores.
Golliwog biscuits — Discontinued in the late 1990s.
Space Food Sticks - Available in a small variety of flavours at select stores.
