Tooty Frooties AXED by Nestle from British supermarkets

An iconic confectionery has been axed from supermarkets across the UK, in a major blow to sweet treat fans.

Tooty Frooties - the iconic Nestle sweet - has been pulled from shelves across Britain.

Major retailers have stopped stocking the legendary confectionery packets.

The multi-coloured, chewy, fruity treats were discontinued earlier in the year.

Nestle has now confirmed the news.

The company replied to one customer on Twitter confirming the move.

After a concerned shopper questioned the company, Nestle wrote back: "Unfortunately, we've had to say goodbye to Tooty Frooties, Philip.

"Our love for Tooty Frooties will always be there but, for now, we have to let it go."

"All good things come to an end"

The firm added: "All good things come to an end we're afraid.

"That goes for our Tooty Frooties too!

"We're always working on lots of new exciting creations so you never know what you might get in future!"

The goodies have been on sale since 1963 and were originally made by Mackintosh's of Halifax.

A Nestlé spokesman said: "Sweet tastes and trends change over the years and Tooty Frooties have become much less popular in the decades since their launch.

"In 2019, people prefer the jelly and foamy sweets you find in Rowntree's Randoms and that's why we've decided to concentrate on new products under the Randoms brand."
