Why isn't there a forum for "current products" as well as "old" and "new" and "discontinued"??? (Moaning already, please don't throw me out!).
OK, Fry's Orange Cremes are hard to come by here in Lancashire. Why can't you buy multipacks of them at supermarkets? You can get Fry's (or I guess I should call it Cadbury's) Chocolate Cremes in supermarkets?
It seems you have to go to petrol station shops round here to get the Orange Cremes ...
(I also find it difficult to find "Star Bars" although I know a couple of out-of-the-way shops where I can get one; again, why no multipacks?).
Maybe this is all just rhetorical. I know the reason will be down to sales and the market for multipacks of certain goods ... still, I can dream, can't I?

I find Dime bars and Picnics are hard to find in supermarkets, even in multi packs. I managed to get some Dime bares in the Poundland this week though!

I think there's a bit of a circle here because if something is hard to find, it won't sell will it? I think supermarkets want to see a massive return for shelf space and therefore don't stock the slower sellers whereas smaller shops are happy to sell five bars a week of a certain product.
SHHHHHH!
Your telling everyone the marketing depts' secret!
