Yes same here in Southampton - still haven't found anyone selling them 

(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).

Hello Sweetie has lots of Texans and is selling them
at the RRP of 38p each. Other websites are charging
more.

Not seen it anywhere yet - will try the local shop, they often have new stuff.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Yes but you charge rather more than 38p each!

I would welcome any feeback on my site, I've spent
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!

Hello Sweeties. I will send a free Texan Bar to the
first 50 people to register on hello-sweetie.com
between now and midday tomorrow.
