I just ordered a couple of packs, apart from the colour, how different is the taste? I loved them when I was younger and missed them a lot when they disappeared.

I think the logo is much better than the last one I remember before they closed down near by

This was it's final logo.

Don't be silly! Kwik Save spent approximately 0p on refitting stores per year. The logo did make it to the posters, I seem to remember.

That last one was when the brand was spun off from Somerfield. It didnt last very long and as you rightly say, never made it to any signage.

Where did Silver Spoon (the sugar brand) go? I seem to remember reading that ASDA had delisted it or something a few years ago, but it now appears to have disappeared entirely. It was the only brand of sugar I can remember existing, but I haven't seen it in a shop for months, and when looking earlier today it appeared to be a choice between Tate and Lyle or Whitworths.

EDIT: Seeing as Pete mentioned delisting as well, I feel I should also mention my outrage that the single bars of Co-op Fairtrade chocolate appear to have been delisted, although I'm not sure if that's because they've stopped making them or it's just the local society. However, they were being sold for about 40p when they were disappearing, and they have now made the £1.09 fairtrade bar 50% bigger.

I notice Tesco have delisted nearly all fairy dishwasher tablets making nearly a full finish monopoly.

Silver Spoon products are still on sale in Sainsburys.
