Happy Hippos

    Has anyone seen packs of Happy Hippos around recently*? The normal ones, NOT the cocoa ones. Tesco hasn't stocked them in ages, and my nearest Lidl doesn't seem to have them either. They're like crack to me - I'll cry if they're discontinued!

    *Preferably in Cork, but I'll settle for proof that they still exist anywhere in Ireland.

    Could have sworn I saw packs of them in Dunnes / Supervalu (granted in Dublin)

    They definitely used have them in Dunnes. I don't shop there regularly, so hopefully they'll still have them.

    Definitely saw them in Supervalu yesterday, reckon I did see them in Dunnes the other day so worth checking out both.

    FAITH, i totally know how you feel, i just was googling them there and your message came up. its nice that im not alone. i love happy hippos, i actually feel happier when i have one. at the moment, i cant find them anywhere, tescos was doing them up until like 4 weeks ago. i have been surviving on kinder bueno white, but its just not the same......

    i think they are still in other countries, so will just have to go abroad reguarly to get our fix!

    Single ones seem to be easy to find, but not the packs (there's no way I could stop at one!).

    If you can't find them in Cork and someone finds them in Dublin I'll post them down to you, or just bring some down. What exactly are they and I'll have a look myself. Arr they those Kinder things? Posting might not be an option if they are.

    Have you re-checked Dunnes & Supervalus Faith?
    (I'm in Dublin so there's no point listing the specific ones) but I've found most Dunnes have them

    Just to point out - I didn't re-bump this thread :). The Dunnes in town were doing them alright, SP, and I think I found them in a Tesco recently too :).

    Faith, noticed them down in Tesco in douglas tonight.

    Didnt realise you had got them already, but if you need to stock up, they are in the biscuit aisle, bottom shelf, beside the jaffa cakes :D
