Hey this is on "discontinued".


When did it disappear?


Also, why can't we put pictures of bars on postings anymore?

Is it discontinued because now it's the stupid boost with glucose thing ?


Does anyone remember different flavours of Boost? I'm sure when I was at school going to the tuck shop you could buy biscuit boost, peanut boosts and coconut boosts?


Why do they change things that are so good?!!!

You could indeed get peanut and coconut Boosts. If you miss the peanut try a Star Bar, they're very similar. I think Boost being listed as discontinued is an error - I'm sure you can still get normal ones. The guarana one makes me hyper.

You're welcome to it!  Seriously though, I think it's a shame they dropped them purely from the point of view that there's nothing similar available.

Yeah - i think the star bars are the old peanut boosts. I really want the coconut ones back. Can we organise a petition to cadburys?


Mind you, they are such a huge arrogant corporation I'm sure they'd completely ignore what their buying customers want

 That and the fact that CDM is the best selling bar in the world and why do they need to change what is such a winning formula.

Okay own up, are you an alter ego of Black Knight/Paulham?


Listen, how do you think they got to be a 'huge arrogant corporation'? Their 'buying customers' (as opposed to their non-buying customers?) must want what they sell, otherwise they wouldn't be big, would they?

Thank you - your crazy posts have really cheered me up! I definitely need to work out how to do good smilies!


I'm definitely my own person. I don't want to knock anyone or anything for achieving success, but...there are some successful companies who listen to their customers, and then there are those successful companies who don't give a sh*t but have such a monopoly nothing can push them down.


I always do support the underdog anyway!

Bring back the coconut boost, The only decent choclate bar to eat on the go. Typical cadburys big cheese stopping the stuff that people like. Have you noticed how they have changed therecipe on the current boost from the old one!!!!!!

I used to love Coconut Boosts.
 

I first discovered them visiting London. You couldn't get them on Teesside at first, so when I went down London I used to bring a load back! Red wrappers.

 

The biscuit ones you can still get and I thought I remembered a third one, and yes peanut, that was it.

Another vote for the coconut boost here.
 

There's a definite lack of coconut based bars out there.

Post by: Mad Matt on October 21, 2007, 11:33:05 pm

Yes, Boost originally was a coconut bar in a red wrapper. It was only when they relaunched it that other flavours - biscuit and peanut to begin with - appeared, if memory serves. The original Boost in the red wrapper is my favourite chocolate bar of all-time! The newer flavours just aren't anywhere near as lovely.


I've written to Cadbury's a couple of times and they were more positive in their response last time, post-Wispa comeback, so fingers crossed. There IS a petition online to bring back the original flavour if you do a quick search - please sign it! Also, an internet search tells me in Ireland they call Boost 'Moro,' and this summer they had a special Coconut Moro as a limited edition! Doh! If I'd known, I would have booked myself a ticket to the Emerald Isle and stocked up... Are there any Irish sweet shop websites that sell them, I wonder?
