Well hang on, it's a business. You don't keep shit in production just for nostalgia. If people weren't buying enough of it, and the machinery needed repairs or replacement to continue operating... That's just the natural end of things.

Nestlé are arseholes for so many reasons, but this is a fairly valid business decision.
