Fantales, the famously chewy caramel chocolates once synonymous with an afternoon at the movies, are about to be no more.

Manufacturer Nestle announced the “sad news” on Tuesday, saying people weren’t buying them as much as they used to and the equipment used to make the sweets is breaking down.

    Well hang on, it’s a business. You don’t keep shit in production just for nostalgia. If people weren’t buying enough of it, and the machinery needed repairs or replacement to continue operating… That’s just the natural end of things.

    Nestlé are arseholes for so many reasons, but this is a fairly valid business decision.

      You make a fair point. But fuck Nestle, they are cunts and that is the bottom point.

      But I agree. If people are not buying their products then those products will become discontinued.
