    have disappeared from the Giant Supermarkets where I live (No. Virginia). I LOVE those things for my sweets fix. Anyone know if they have stopped making them?

    No they are all over out here in the Southwest. You may ask your store to carry them again. Usually when it disappears from one store it means that it wasn't a big seller.

    The amount of them that my family and I ate alone would have made them a big seller.

    Thanks for your suggstion, I will talk to the manager and try to get them back.

    Cheers

    we still have them here in canada at certain stores/candy shops like Sugar Mountain in Toronto. Maybe they can send you some if you contact them?

    I emailed them, because I heard a 'rumor' that they weren't going to make them anymore (I love them, too!!) ...it seems to be up in the air ...Here's the reply that I got:

    I've found a good replacement for Milky Way Lites. They're called Pria bars and they are made by Powerbar. They're usually near the slim-fast and weight loss stuff. Anyway, there's one called Double Chocolate Crunch or something similar to that. It tastes INCREDIBLE!! I was really surprised that a powerbar could taste so good...and ONLY 2 POINTS!!

    As your grocery store to carry them as they are still made. I get the large size at my local Veterans Canteen Servce and Walgreens
