Can you still get these?  I loved the strawberry flavour ones but not seen them round here for ages.

No. I'm sure they've gone. I liked the lime ones and the blackcurrant ones.

I bought some in the summer too and I remember thinking I hadn't seen them for ages.  Will look out for them.

I think they are probably still out there. We just don't look that often.

I think they are still around as well. I haven't heard them being discontinued.

Same here. I always end up with sticky fingers and the need to clean my teeth

i saw them in our local Post Office/general store today. Mind you, they could have been there since 1972 knowing that place. They still sell fold-flat rain hoods.

 My local Post Office shop is exactly the same! Even the shop assistant (who was an old lady in the 70s) is still working there.

At the one closest to my work you can still buy toy water pistols and the like for £1. They also have a delightful accessory rack called 'Jewlz' with all manner of costume jewellery and hair accessories, with colour coded price stickers - 99p, £1.99 or for those days when you can't help splashing out. £2.99!

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?
