I thought the Dormens Cocktail Snacks were great - infinitely better than the birdseed, plus they went well with the drinks. They lasted, ooh all of 3 months before being withdrawn for something, no doubt, cheaper (and I guess lighter, which seems to be a consideration as highlighted by BBB)

I don't think they have been withdrawn. From my understanding of how it is going to work is that there will be a couple of snacks that will rotate over a set number of months. So, we had X months of Dormens, now we have X months of "Spudmuckers" (Who on earth thought that one up ) potato chips, then they will swap back again. Same with the biscuits. We have the twin pack of Rocky biscuits that are currently having a rest, whilst the Fox's nut and fruit chocolate biscuit is making its appearance at the moment.

Hopefully they will do what I have understood, but maybe I am totally wrong on that front!
