I'm puzzled as to why Waitrose sells this product, but I can't find this in any other Supermarkets.

Is there a problem with the product?

99p Stores had a load with foreign writing on - East European I think - recently. Probably a cancelled export order which pound shops often snap up. I bought a box to try but it was a bit sweet for my taste.

Different supermarkets stock different ranges.

Sometimes a branch, or a particular chain will stop stocking something because it doesn't sell well for them, or they want to make room for something else.

Asda, Morrisons & Sainsburys all have it here. Tesco haven't had it for about 6 weeks, and it's dropped off their website completely.

Interesting, I've often wondered why some shops sell a load of branded products like toiletries and confectionary with Arabic or other languages printed on the packaging.

My local shop has it. Amazing stuff. Why not just cut some banana into it?
