I came in to post this, but I already did.

But I will offer further explanation; the reason this most awesome candy bar ever was discontinued is because the family doesn’t like peanut butter, hence why the entire family will be dispatched in such a manner, also subsequent dipping in chocolate is too good for them!

Ooh, I feel a little like Skald right now. Why isn’t there an evil overlord smiley?

A while back, Classico made a spaghetti sauce with black olives that I found tasty. That’s disappeared. More than that, I’ve noticed that most of the spaghetti sauces with added ingredients like peppers and mushrooms have disappeared. May just be my local grocery store, but I suspect those ingredients are expensive and don’t fit into the 2/$5.00 or 2/$6.00 marketing strategy.
