Has it disappeared? First Robinson's brought it out then it seems everyone produced loads - but now I can't find it anywhere. Did they completely cock up the market research and discover that no-one wanted it after all or what?

Aldi, Tesco and Morrisons still do them.

There were plenty of options in Tesco when I walked past an hour ago.

I thought it tasted really odd, which is daft I know as I'm sure it's just the same syrup they make everything else from.

I was just in a Morrison's. Nothing in the squash section, just found a single box with three in on an end cap. Our Asda has stopped doing them too.

It's hard to sell people a tiny bottle of squash for the same price as a big bottle, even if they make the same amount diluted.

The Aldi stuff tasted grim to me - given the general trend seems to be towards healthier (at least sounding) stuff then trying to sell hyper-concentrated chemical flavours may have been a struggle + the cost vs size thing that's already been mentioned. I'm not sure why anyone would buy them outside of camping type use.

Not if you do it by stealth, which has been the de-facto method of increasing profit margins over the last few years.

Took me ages to find it in Sainsburys as they moved it from being with the squash to being on a shelf above the kiddies fruit shoots/juice cartons etc.

Greener innit - not as much water/weight, therefore lower transport costs and less packaging.

Oasis concentrated juice is still sold in most places but the berry burst isnt very nice but the mango one is lovely and quite refreshing when on a long ride.

It fits in my desk drawer whereas a bottle would not.

When I travel for work I bring my bike, and I fuel using maltodextrin because it's cheap - and this requires squash to flavour it. Or maybe it's my Camelbak that needs flavouring. A little squeezy bottle is a lot easier to travel with than a 2l squash bottle.

Local demographics init.
If no one in your area buys it then none of the supermarkets will bother to restock.We have 3 big Tesco stores and you can tell what type of groups(more or less)shop in each by items that they have and don't have on the shelves.
