Often a sweet/bar that we all know and love goes away again. I learned in a Business Studies class once that companies bring out the product, and if it's sales tumble, they take it off the shelves so people will notice that it is gone and will write in, asking where it is.
When they do put it back on the shelves, the sales rocket.
So what sweets (which are gone now) do you miss?
-Those extra strong miniature Polos that came in a big plastic polo.
-Fruit Polos
-Cadbury Fuse
-BN biscuits
-Gum Powder Chewing Gum
-Irn Bru Bar
-Vimto Bar

My dad still sells Gum Powder CG, Irn Bru bar's and Vimto bars lol...
Makro ftw.
Don't think there really is any, I do wish they sold Oreo's more publically though, it's well hard to get them where I live.

I can still get them at my leisure centre, but I hate them.
Now you mention it, I really miss those little polos in the big plastic polo. And Harry Potter Chocolate Frogs. And all the Wonka bars that they did while the movie was around, they were all delicious.
I can still get Kinder Eggs. Yay!
