I’ll miss them, though I certainly share in the blame of not buying them enough.

I’m stockpiling so I can still have some every now and then. From what I can tell, the cheapest I’ve found (excl eBay) is here: https://goodgroceries.com.au/products/allens-fantales-1kg-1?variant=42091381293253

By the way, hello all. First comment here coming from reddit.

Hey, and welcome to Lemmy! I hope you’ll find it as friendly and welcoming as I have.

Damn I wish I had jumped on that link and ordered as soon as I saw it. Price jumped from ~$70 to ~$90 between then and now. Ah well, better get going before it gets even worse!

We have these and Minties mixed in a perpetually fillled bowl at the office. I reflexively grab one every time I walk past. Lately i let the chocolate coating melt in my mouth and chuck the caramel bit out. If they released chocolate coated rocks instead I’d probably be ok with that.

Now how am I supposed to entertain the relatives with endless “Who am I?” guessing games?

If by endless you mean the repeating 12 or so on the wrapper reel?

I honestly think this is part of the problem for Fantales. Same problem with the Chews by The Natural Confectionary Company. It doesn’t take very long at all until you’re familiar with everything, and then the novelty wears off. It surely couldn’t take a lot of effort to have, like, one person spending a day per year coming up with enough new facts to create a lot of variety, and another day or two writing them up properly, could it?

I agree. I mean, people like chocolate. People like caramel. People like trivia. Can’t help but see this as a major fail by the company.

If Carlton Draught can do it, Fantales surely could.

“Fantales”: the cross platform app. Only $4.99.

How are kids supposed to pull their baby teeth out now? Minties and redskins used to be the go-to but they’ve become soft.

These things should’ve been banned by the Geneva convention. They almost rip out fillings!
