First the good news.

If you love these soft drinks, then you’ll probably love this new line of lollies that are about to hit the supermarkets.

Allen's is launching a range of bottle-shaped gummy lollies based on three popular Kirks soft drinks: Lemonade, Creaming Soda and Pasito.

Why?

Joyce Tan, head of marketing confectionery at Nestlé Australia, says: “So many Aussies share moments of Kirks soda flavours and Allen's lollies at their social celebrations – and now we've brought these icons together for the ultimate classic party combo.”

And the bad news?

Starbursts, a cult favourite in many households, have disappeared. Confectionery giant Mars Wrigley has revealed the brand was discontinued in Australia in June.

A Mars Wrigley spokesperson said the “difficult decision” to axe the brand, best-known for its fruit-flavoured chews, was down to supply chain issues and cost pressures.

Have you noticed any other treats or products that have disappeared because of ‘supply chain issues and cost pressures’?
