(yes I know I could order them from british candy).
Perhaps people would like to reply with when and where they've found bars (or indeed where they haven't found them).

at the RRP of 38p each. Other websites are charging
more.

over a year developing it as I wanted it to be like the
sweetshops I spent most of my childhood in. I've
always dreamed about having my own sweet shop.
Check it out at hello-sweetie.com and let me know
what you think.

£1.09 P&P! I'll wait thanks!
If Nestle don't hurry f**king up and get these bars up here soon, I will never, ever buy ANY Nestle products again.
I must have tried so many shops all to know avail. I emailed them to express my disgust that as a Nestle site member that they never thought to let us know that the product was being launched.
In my opinion the whole thing has been a half-arsed attempt to win the sales war but has back fired by angering those who held dear such claasic bars.
Mark my words us 30-somethings don't like being dicked around!

launch and they put me in contact with the PR company, who said 'theyd
be in touch'.
As today is launch day and I haven't heard anything (unless the spam filter at work is doing overtime
) - they obviously aren't that organised.Perhaps they think things like this still sell by viral marketing

Hi Paulham! Lovely to hear from you. Sorry you're so angry. Nestle make me feel like that too when they bu**er around with the chocolate on old favourites like Toffee Crisp and Lion Bar (that were not even theirs to muck around with).
It is a farce. I mean, if they can manufacture them after over twenty years of saying they can't (and having the cheek to blame the bloody miners) then WHY CAN'T THEY DISTRIBUTE THEM??
Post by: chocadmin on August 23, 2005, 12:19:13 am
Crumble to market here without changing the coating. If it didn't have
that stupid 'chocolate flavour' coating and just normal nestle choc
instead it would have been a definite fave. over crunchie, instead it's
just a one taste curiosity.
To be fair to Nestle though, they've done far more for the 'common'
chocolate snack marketplace than any of the other major players in the
last couple of years. Think of the things they've tried with Kit Kats,
and those nice new Wonka bars. Mars are only now realising the error of
their ways by bringing us galaxy promises, and as for Cadbury - dear oh
dear...

The Nestle PR people just e-mail you a jpg image of the new Texan Bar and a document with the history of the Texan Bar. There isnt any information there a Texan bar lover wouldnt already know lol
Although the offical launch is the 22nd it has been possible to buy Texan bars for the last 2 weeks from us and other on-line retailers. We had to go to 3 different confectionery wholesalers to find them!
Many local shops buy their stock from national distributors which are mostly a week or so behind with new product launches. Im sure you guys will find the Texan Bar in your local shop soon

and enjoyed it. I've been round a few shops locally
and in Heathrow and still no sign of Texans but cash
& carry places are all sold out so someone
somewhere must be buying them and selling them
in London. I'm going into town tomorrow and I'll trawl
the shops and see where they're available. My family
in Yorkshire haven't seen them yet either. Where are
they all? (Apart from all the online sweet shops!)

Not bad. Bloody small though!
If you fridge it, it is really tough on the teeth.
8/10
Not TOTALLY convinced about the taste though.................

on the top, centre's not as chewy, the chocolate
doesn't fall off the sides like it used to. Not as mighty
a chew as they used to be. However, the new Texan
is better than no Texan at all. Anyone agree?
