KELLOGG’S has confirmed it has axed a breakfast cereal from shelves leaving customers gutted.
The cereal makers’ Coco Pops Rocks have disappeared from supermarkets in recent months.
Both Tesco and Asda‘s websites say the item, priced around £2.50 and coming in a 350g box, is unavailable to buy.
A number of customers have posted on X in recent weeks complaining they can’t find the breakfast staple too.
One said: “Anyone know where I can get these Coco Pops Rocks.”
Another, directly tagging Kellogg’s, said: “Hello, just wondering what has happened to Coco Pops Rocks?
“Haven’t been able to find any in ages.”
And in a blow to fans of the breakfast item, a customer service team member responded to the second shopper: “I’m sorry to disappoint you but this product has been discontinued.”
Shoppers finding out the Coco Pops, branded by some as the “best cereal ever made”, are no more have been left gutted.
One online said: “Plssss bring them back. Will pay good money.”
Another commented “I miss Coco Pops Rocks” while another added “bring back Coco Pops Rocks”.
Customers looking to get something similar to the axed cereal can still purchase Coco Pops Mega Pops and Coco Pops Loops, which were reportedly launched last June.
The former cereal comes in a 365g box and is available at Iceland, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Asda from £2.50.
Meanwhile, Coco Pops Loops can be bought at Asda and Morrisons for £2 and come in a 285g size.
It comes just days after The Sun revealed Kellogg’s had scrapped All Bran Golden Crunch from shelves with shoppers left fuming.
Manufacturers and retailers often discontinue products if they are in low demand or if they want to introduce new products.
M&S recently axed its popular Colin the Caterpillar in a jar from shop shelves.
The cake jars landed on the supermarket shelves in 2021 with fans hailing it “a tiny pot of joy.”
Elsewhere, Heinz scrapped its retro Piccalilli Pickle sauce in a blow to customers.
The crunchy and tangy sauce will no longer be available to buy, the manufacturer confirmed last month.
The condiment is often used on salads or jacket potatoes, but sadly it will no longer be produced.
Nestle also axed its fan favourite Yorkie orange bars last year.
However, shoppers were able to pick up bars this year as retailers looked to clear stock.
The limited edition bars were launched in 2021 when orange chocolate was all the rage.
Around the same time Dairy Milk orange bars were also launched, following Cadbury‘s orange Twirl in 2019.
But Yorkie’s flamed-coloured version, along with Dairy Milk’s, have both now been scrapped, with loyal buyers left demanding its return.
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
