Nostalgic discontinued Nestle chocolate bar spotted on shelves and shoppers can’t believe it
CHOCOLATE lovers were thrilled after spotting a discontinued Nestle bar back on the shelves.
The discovery sparked debate online as not everyone believed they had made a return.
Animal Bar is a milk chocolate bar designed with two different animals along with their names moulded on the surface of the chocolate.
The mini chocolate bars were designed for children and come with a fun game inside the wrapper.
On a Facebook group dedicated to nostalgic snacks, a member shared a photo of an Animal Bar.
“Used to love these as a kid. Shame they’ve gone,” they wrote.
“I don’t think they have gone away have they?” one argued.
“Iceland still sell them,” said a second.
“Loved this chocolate bar,” echoed a third.
Another claimed that Tesco still sells the little chocolate bars.
Someone else wrote that they can be found in Poundland and a third said they were in Asda.
“You can still get them I’ve seen them I’m sure they were in B&M,” said another.
Unfortunately for fans, the chocolate bar was discontinued in November 2023.
The Animal Bars spotted in the shops are old stock still in circulation.
The Animal Bar was first manufactured in 1959 and sold by Makintosh’s under a different name until a rebrand in 1963.
Nestlé said the chocolate bar was being discontinued after 60 years “due to the low performance of the product and a steady decline in its sales over the past few years,” according to Sky News.
