Exactly my question too. Just a couple of months back, while chatting with a friend, I was asking him why we don't see this drinks anymore.
I remember then in School, it used to be a quick lunch while waiting for Lectures(in archival).
Just get a bottle with bread and one is good to go.

logica: A competitor acquired them yet you don't see how it explains their disappearance from the market?
.
There are several reasons for acquisitions and one of them is to acquire the technology or critical components of the company or even strip the assets and do away with the company. There is also the critical destruction theory that says every product or company undergoes a full life cycle and after which it goes into extinction.

Gombs: maclatunji no vex abeg...but shey na say na because say na you, na him dis thread reach front page?

I wanna know whether its by privilege, or coincidence, or relevance of the topic.

So, if I shd open a thread with say this your topic, wud it av made frnt page?

Ok na, since its made front page, you asked what happened to them, at first I wondered whether google website was down or whether they are out of business, but then lemme try ansa you, they didn't stand d test of time.
