Just spoken to the PR people about Texan, apparently they're still
collecting together their launch stuff but they'll be in touch when
they have some more info for us all (not that I'm sure what else there
is to say about it, it's coming back for a few weeks and that's what
matters).

Cited reason for bringing it back is indeed customer demand (although
the PR company didn't know about the old story of the miners strike )

I wonder whether Nestle have put nasty cheap chocolate on it or altered the nougat mix in any way. Also, if it disappeared due to maufacturing probelms, where is the sense in bringing it back for just six weeks? Won't it be difficult to commit machinery etc for such a short time? Perhaps they have contracted it out?

I've no doubt your suspicions will be proved right about the chocolate Oldspice and I was thinking exactly the same thing about the special moulds/machinery or whatever it is they need.  It just doesn't make sense to make it for six weeks and then stop.

It will be such a shame if the choc is cheap tasting. It needs to be made to the original recipe or they shouldn't bother. Come xmas I wonder how much I could sell one for on ebay.

I will be stocking up if I like them as I am too young to have had them for first time around.

If Nestle have any sense they wont use cheap chocolate. And I reckon
the 6 weeks thing is just to panic us all into buying laods of them,
they will be laughing at us when they have made loads of money from us
all snapping up as many as we can, when they are still out at
Xmas.

Safe from what?

Safe from being miserable after 6 weeks and not being able to get any.

Are they really that good? I know you said you'd never wet yourself over chocolate but I bet you would in this case.

I'd wet myself over a Cabana or a Five centres for definite.

Me too. Especially the little half-dome ones with the flat bottom that gunged down your chin when you bit into it. Mmmmmmmm
