Funny you should mention this. My fav and the only coffeehouse in my town was closed while I was away. No warning whatsoever and it had great coffee. Now I don't know where I'm going to write for the 2 and half hours I'll have to myself twice a week.
This always happens with lipstick! Even if the colors might be the same, they change the name!
No, you're not. It happens all the time to me, too. My grocery store keeps discontinuing the things I like and purchase on a regular basis. I know others purchase those items, too, since they run out all the time. It's a conspriacy, I tell you!
It happens with me and granola bars!! Geez! Just let me eat my chocolate chip sugar free Quaker oats in peace, please. lol
That happens to me, too. Ugh. Lipstick. Base makeup. Right now, it's the PERFECT red/brown lip pencil I use for EYEBROW pencil (remember on GWO when we talked about substitutes in makeup?) Can't find the color anywhere. It's called Topaz. Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Oh, it happens in food, too. Love Publix chunky applesauce (Publix is a big grocery store down here in Florida). THEY QUIT MAKING IT!! The other brands don't come near the delicious taste! Ugh.
What is wrong with these manufacturers? Thanks everyone for making me feel unjinxed. :-)
It's a conspiracy, I tell you. Happens with bras too. LOL
i love baja blast too. it's such a pretty color.
The same thing happens to me (remember Holiday Spice Pepsi?)- so now I've made it my mission in life to spread the word about products I love. I figure, if enough people buy it, they'll keep making it.
Can I plug Celestial Seasoning's Zingers To Go?
They are discontinuing Baha Blast? They can't do that! I share your pain.
Did any of yall ever eat the snack mix DooDads? My sister loved it so much she still looks everytime we go to the store and she is 23. Apparently they discontinued it. She is still upset over that one. As for me my favorite water is Dannon and they no longer have it at least here in my area except for in little tiny bottles. Oh well it was too expensive anyway. :)
Same thing happens in Turkey all the time with imported products. I'll see something like Rice Krispies on the grocery store shelf. I know that I'd better buy 3 or 4 boxes, because it will never be seen again. Actually, Rice Krispies isn't a good example, because the last time I found it in Turkey was in the mid-90's. I did buy 4 boxes. On that occasion, I rushed home and made homemade marshmallows (also not available) so that we could make rice krispie squares. What a delight!
OK, our situation is a little different than yours, but I still know what it's like to lose products I like.
For me it is usually with television shows. All I have to do is really like something and it is the kiss of death. The latest was Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Gone just like American Dreamer about 18 years ago (yeah, when it comes to TV executive decisions, I tend to hold a grudge--look what they did to Gilligan and Star Trek--okay, dating myself here but it was traumatic to my young psyche). Anybody actually remember American Dreamer with Robert Ulrich? It was innovative and clever and well done but lost in the nightly shuffling.
My favorite chips were Hershey Cinnamon chips. I'd use them to make my favorite cookies EVER (except maybe chocolate chip, because I have a hard time saying anything could beat chocolate): oatmeal cinnamon chip.
Though, I've discovered that it's true that you can find anything online - I could pay to have them delivered in bulk.
If anyone does find them - make the recipe on the back (though I don't use raisens...) -- it's a keeper!
This happens to my husband all the time! He could empathize with you. What really got to him was when Lay's Potato Chips changed their oil! He refused to eat them in sunflower oil. I really can't tell the difference, but maybe people like you and he are like the Princess and the Pea.
