Every few years or so I notice a lipstick is discontinued and I’m forced to find a new one 
So which of your favourite products have disappeared And did you struggle to find a replacement. |

Boots botanics shampoo for brunettes. It's no longer stocked in stores. Having a trip to the factory shop soon to see if they have any leftover stock.
Also my fave perfume from Estée Lauder was discontinued years ago and they've brought it back. I bought two bottles last week  |

I think I saw them in the local grocers around the corner. Have a look around your corner and see if they are there. |

I know you can get the green ones sliced in a jar discovery do them...however I don't think they do the red ones...That's what I miss about American products you could pretty much get all that stuff... |

"Opal fruits and marathon bars. Not seen them for years !
marathon as snickers ... gawd knows why  "
Because what we knew as "Marathon" was called "Snickers" in other markets around the world, especially in America.
Thus, we Brits had to fall into line with the rest of the world's sales markets. |

"My Charles Worthington hair gunk stuff seems to have disappeared. I'm just about to run out. Frizzy, frizziest, frizzier than a frizzy thing hair on the way."
They've totally renewed all their products... You can still get lots of the old range on amazon. |

Mountain Dew. I really liked it but they stopped selling it, I think the last time I had some was when I went to the US in 1996! They sell this godawful Mountain Dew energy drink now, sickly sweet and yucky. |

What's the difference between green & red Jalapenos? I've a plant by my kitchen window & shortly after they ripen, they turn red. Never noticed any difference in flavor! |

The red ones have a more juicy , fruitier sort if flavour. I think they are much nicer. |

Okay, I might wait untill they're red this time - usually, most of them are eaten before they turn red.
Why don't you nip down to your garden ctr & buy a plant for a couple of quid? It's much cheaper albeit a bit of a wait! |
