Favourite lines disappearing from shops

I have just posted on another thread that the marmite-flavoured Mini Cheddars that I used to love disappeared from the shops a few years ago with no warning. Has anyone else found favourite items (not just food) suddenly becoming unavailable?

You can still get Fray Bentos tinned pies - I sometimes keep a couple in for those days when I’m particularly tired or simply can’t be bothered to cook.
One each, with just frozen peas or green beans - no potatoes needed.
Hardly gourmet fare but for now and then, who cares?

The last time I bought one of those I couldn’t open it. I really like them, too.

Charleygirl - surely gobstoppers were bigger than Maltesers, weren't they? I seem to remember they were nearly as big as table tennis balls and they changed colour as you sucked them. Perhaps that is just me having a senior moment. You could also get aniseed balls but I was not partial to them. Horrible flavour.

Kraft Cheddar Spread. It was a bright orange colour in a jar and delicious. A really strong flavour. No other cheese spread available now is as good..

Coffee walnut whips and Terry’s chocolate wafers.
