TEXAN AGAIN
« on: February 02, 2006, 08:32:24 pm »

Are these still around? Has anyone had one lately? After waiting so long for its return and it being a bit of a disappointment I wondered if Nestle will consider it a flop and shelve it? If so, will the fall-out from that prevent companies like Cadbury from reviving old chocolate bars??

I found two in the bottom of my handbag the other day. Sadly they had clearly had a hard time in the dark carverns of my bag and had to be re located to the bin.

I really enjoyed the few bars I had. I only ever saw them in cybercandy.

She went on a diet and rebranded as Hello Celery.

I have seen Texans on ebay, and in a local Tesco express recently.

Do you think the re-launch has been a success?

I'd be surprised if it had, the complete cock-up they made of it! Launch date August 22nd - finally reached stores in October!

When Texan re launched I couldn't wait to try one, had one and was disappointed, had another 6 (not all at once) to make sure and even though I see them in my local newsagent I never buy them again.

More or less what I did. Got a batch from Hello Sweetie, ate them, was disappointed and, although they were not totally nasty, I didn't bother buying anymore.
