Things that were taken before their time

Sometimes companies do strange things...they make me wonder whether I'm the only one that was purchasing their products, I mean, I must have been because why else would they unceremoniously take the things off the shelves.

Let me give you some examples.

There's a company that makes stir fry sauces, I think their called Dragon something...you know the ones...different sachets in different colours. They used to make a honey and corainder one which was perfect for my duck dishes...people used to think I made the sauce, which of course I didn't argue with. I should have been suspicious then, they obviously weren't buying it themselves cause they would have known it wasn't my concoction...they weren't....nobody was buying it, except for me. And it became no more.

Lynx...that company that make deodorant sprays that don't work very well...Back in 1993, I started hanging around with girls and there was one thing they loved about me more than anything else...how I smelt. Lynx made a sex spray called Tempest back in the day. The very mention of the name Lynx tempest would have the other 13 year old girls quavering in their little pink ribboned knickers. One girl even asked me to spray some on some tissue and give it to her to get through the day...I was then told it wasn't the same...wasn't the same without being mixed with my one body smell. I had my whole life ahead of me, and it smelt great. And then Lynx, the bastids, took it from me. They took this magic potion off the shelves.

I'll only touch on this one for a second cause it's mentioned elsewhere on this forum...but God knows what cadburys were up to when they sat down at their annual pre-christmas roses meeting. God must also only know why they got rid of the bournvilles...or changed the cute shape of the dairy milk...it's like a mini bar!!!! But then...they introduced some cool new additions...the wine one with the crispy bits...the orange one with the crispy bits....lovely!!! Then they got rid of them! A few years ago the got rid of the strawberry one...the creme de la creme...and apparently public demand brought it back...(The strawberry one divides households like the civil war did...but i love em...In fact I take place in an exchange program with another household...we swap the tins with the dregs left in them...the barrels are the dregs in my house...the strawberries are the dregs in theres) To sum up, stop fcuking with it cadburies....if it's not broke, just leave it to hell alone. And cadburies, while we're at it...bring back Vice Versas...thanks.

That's it for now, I've got a lot more but I'm aware that many people on this forum are not fans of reading beyond the first paragraph...

They used to be in every pub and newsagent I went to up until 2 or 3 years ago. Now nowhere does them near me (and believe me, I've looked).. I've looked in pubs all over the country
