Have you ever gone to a store frequently to buy the same type of product because it was your favorite, then that store stops selling it? It seems as if,whenever I get a favorite product the stores around here stops selling it!! Ah! Sad :(
I really wanted my favorite coffee but the store replaced it with another not-so-good brand.
Anyone else had this experience?

Yeah! When I was a kid one of my favorite cereals was the Rice Krispie Treats one[I can't remember the name]. They were tiny bits of marshmallow rice krispie treats, in a dark pink box. I don't know for sure if it's been discontinued, but I never see it anymore. :/

Not recently, but I was remembering a lot of my favorite foods and things from when I was a kid and that they don't make those things anymore. A lot of candies, and cereals.

This has happend many times and many times I wind up a little disappointed because of it. Usually the best products are removed. It could be a recall because of what a person found in that paticular product, so then they all get taken off, never to return. I hate it when that happens. So yes, I know how you feel.

I hav had the same experience many times. I used to buy a particular brand of health drink. then that company stopped producing that. then there was this long and flexible wire for flower making. it was easy to work with and very cheap. but now the store has replaced it with a hard, short, costly but very cheap looking wire. It is very difficult to work with this sort of wire. then my Dad's fav toothpaste was replaced, a brand of milk, umberella, bag, shoes, soap... You name it and it has been replaced.
Maybe all this is a part of revolutionising a company. The manufacturers may be trying to change according to times. But they don't seem to understand there are consumers who love things as they are. Maybe they should do a survey before replacing a product.
