Reacting to the post, one person commented: &#8220;Bring back fruit Polos,&#8221; with another echoing: &#8220;Bring back the fruity Polos.&#8221; Meanwhile, over on <a aria-label=\"RedditLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/reddit\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a>, another person revealed their passion for Fruit Polos, sharing: &#8220;When I was pregnant two years ago, I managed to get them from Amazon because I was really craving them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Someone else said: &#8220;<a aria-label=\"You can still get themLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/money\/shopping-deals\/\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">You can still get them<\/a>. Don&#8217;t tend to see them in many shops these days, but they are still around and places like Amazon sell them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;The packaging looks different though &#8211; not as vibrant as the old design. It&#8217;s a pretty plain-looking one now. I do miss the other varieties of Polo that we got in the 90s though, like Citrus Sharp and Gummies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;d also forgotten about the Butter Ups version, presumably because they weren&#8217;t very nice&#8230; I can&#8217;t remember.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">At the same time, other fans said they&#8217;d be delighted to see citrus and chocolate Polos making a comeback on supermarket shelves. Fruit Polos were officially axed by Nestl\u00e9 in the UK back in December 2023 owing to lacklustre sales figures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">When asked about their disappearance on X, Nestl\u00e9 UK responded: &#8220;Unfortunately, our Polo Fruits and Polo Gummies were not as popular as others in the range and have been discontinued. But we&#8217;ll surely let the team know you&#8217;d like to see them back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">That said, Berry Mint isn&#8217;t the sole new variety Polo has launched this month &#8211; the brand has simultaneously rolled out an extra strong mint addition to its sugar-free collection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Sophie Browning, brand manager for POLO and Rowntree&#8217;s at Nestl\u00e9 UK and Ireland, commented: &#8220;At POLO, we love that fresh breath feeling and these new sugar-free flavours offer even more ways to enjoy that signature POLO freshness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re proud to make them right here in York, continuing our heritage whilst moving our sugar-free offerings forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The fresh POLO Sugar-Free Extra Strong Mint and POLO Sugar-Free Berry Mint are now stocked in shops across the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Both newcomers are priced consistently with the main POLO singles collection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The Oral Health Foundation acknowledges that POLO Sugar-Free Mints serve as a beneficial tool for maintaining oral health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Reacting to the online buzz, one person posted: &#8220;Need to try these.&#8221; A second said: &#8220;I want it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Ensure our latest headlines always appear at the top of your Google Search by making us a Preferred Source. <a aria-label=\"Click here to activateLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to activate<\/a> or add us as your Preferred Source in your Google search settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Polo fans have shared their excitement after spotting a new flavour in supermarkets, but some can&#8217;t hide their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[13865,199,1083,4363],"class_list":{"0":"post-20977","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nestle","8":"tag-morrisons","9":"tag-nestle","10":"tag-nestle-uk-ltd","11":"tag-supermarkets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
