Nestle confirms it has axed two popular sweet treats – after shoppers admitted they had been searching across the country
Nestle has left customers devastated after officially confirming they have discontinued two of their much-loved sweet treats.
The multinational recently confirmed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it had axed Polo Fruits and Polo Gummies in the UK.
An eagle-eyed fan had been walking the supermarket aisles for a while before asking the food giant: ‘Are you still making fruit polo? I haven’t seen them anywhere in the south east of Britain for a while, but I’m told you can still get them in places like Yorkshire.
Nestle responded: ‘Unfortunately our Polo Fruits and Polo Gummies were not as popular as the others in the range and have been discontinued.
“But we will certainly let the team know that you would like to see them again.”

It joins the ranks of the fallen with Caramac, which was also pulled from shelves due to poor sales.
X users are panicking because they can no longer find their favorite sweet treats in the store
Fans of the milk chocolate bar, which has been around in Britain since 1963, are devastated, claiming the food and drink giant has ‘now gone too far’.
A spokesperson told MailOnline that it is ‘being discontinued for the same reason as Caramac: a steady decline in sales’.

“Animal bar has died,” read one solemn note. ‘RIP, you will live on forever. I can not believe it. I want to run to you. I really can’t believe this.’
‘I woke up to the news that the Animal Bar will soon disappear. It brings back fond memories of my childhood, and I don’t know of any other chocolate bar that crunches in the same delicious, satisfying way,” a second added.
