 Thats not cool!
Snifters used to be my favourite although I havent had them in years (probably why their sales droppred  )
Sparkles were the only lollies I would eat while pregnant..mmm I can almost smell them. I wonder if I can try stocking up before the completely sell out..

Oh my god, I had heard about the snifters - but to take away the Tangy Fruits!! Thats the worst!! I only ever eat them at the movies (which I hardly ever go to) but they are a part of childhood (and adulthood!!  )
And Sparkles - that sux!!

Oh man
And they're getting rid of Jaffas in boxes!
Jaffas, in boxes, are a movie-going institution!!

*bawls eyes out, stamps feet and throws massive tanty*
I want my tangy fruits!
I can't believe they'd do this to us. Like the rest of you I don't eat them very often but tangy fruits, snifters and sparkles are top of my list of lollies I love. What are they going to axe next k-bars? (if I even here a hint of that I'll be protesting outside the whittakers factory in porirua)

This sucks...I love jaffas in the box!!! And DF loves Tangy Fruits...gets them EVERY time we go to the movies...Gutted
It's not really helping with portion control either is it? LOL I mean there are heaps more Jaffa's in a bag and I just no that if I bought a bag instead of a box that I'd end up scoffing the whole lot without even realising it!

Sparkles were my favourite childhood lollie. Snifter's you can't get any where else, I always had to take bags with me when we went to Aussie, for my friends kiwi mum.
Getting rid of the Jaffa boxes is just wrong, they're great in the movies as they don't split like the bags, Dh and I always share a box in the cinema.

What's this about lack of consumer demand?! I buy tangy fruits every time I go to the movies!! We should all go to the movies and buy tangy fruits, increase the consumer demand! Do it for the country!
