- I was told last winter by Cadburys that Bournvita Light had been discontinued, only to find it the following week in our local POUNDLAND shop!! And it was no longer in glass jars, but in a lightweight plastic container!! So much for Cadburys product knowledge!!

- However, I have not seen it in POUNDLAND this winter, unfortunately, and will have to switch to Ovaltine Light, which is in a smaller container and more expensive - errrgghh!!

- By the way, there is some for sale on e-Bay, but the postage makes it unviable.

We have searched all 3 main supermarkets in Market Harborough :Sainsbury,Tesco and Coopand also Morrissons in Corby to no avail. We have tried a rival product Choc.Ovaltine but would rather Cadbury's respond in a proper business manner ,make an announcement in the media as to what the long term strategy is or are their admen playing a game with what remains a sought after and still popular product.?

For years and years my favourite bedtime drink was Cadbury Bournvita Malted Chocolate Drink, a delicious chocolaty drink that had a very smooth malty taste to it and really did help me relax and prepare for a good night's sleep. All of a sudden I found this drink very hard to find and had to hunt the shops to find one that sold it, then ...  Read the complete review

I have just read another person's review saying how they had been looking for this bedtime drink and now realise this has been discontinued, I cannot understand Cadbury's reasoning, I would have thought it was one of the most loved night time drinks on the market. I do hope the company has a re think.

I too was desparate for Bournvita. But here in Ireland I found I can get it from ...wait for it... Bombay Bazaar, imported all the way from India. It is a mad, mad world.

Please, Cadbury's start selling it in Britain and Ireland again.

Meanwhile, I have a blissful bedtime drink again. I suggest you in England look in Indian shops.

My husband and I have searched the whole of Somerset for Bournvita Chocolate Drink but have been unable to buy any. We do not want a light version as we prefer to have a good wholesome drink without added artifical sweeteners that tastes so much better. So come on Cadburys bring Bournvita back into our shops and then we can once again look forward to enjoying our evening drink and a good night's rest.

I too have only recently discovered that I cannot purchase the drink I have enjoyed for over 40 years. I have emailed Cadbury's to ask why. Is someone out there prepared to start a "Bring Back Bournvita" campaign? If so, count me in. Mark from Swansea, Wales.

My family have been drinking Bournvita for many many years, my father who is in his late 70's has always have a mug of this delicious drink before he goes to bed every night. I was very upset when I went to my local supermarket and they did not have any on the shelf. It was only when I searched the web that I found out Cadbury have decided in ...  Read the complete review

Bournvita has been a regular drink in this household for more years than we can remember. Having tried three different branches of Tesco`s - our usual source - we asked a salesperson at the last and largest branch Why no Bournvita? He was so sure they had some that he escorted Mr B to the display area - but he hadn`t missed it. There was none. A check on their in-store system showed No Stock Held. Well as other unhappy visitor / shoppers on this dooyoo site say it was discontinued by Cadbury`s marketing people we have decided to register our displeasure via an e-mail to them. Two new boxes of Cadbury`s Fingers have gone back for a refund and we will no longer be buying our Cadbury`s Fruit & Nut, Wholenut, or Turkish Delight bars!! Now who shall we give our money to in these reduced sales times....

My wife and i have searched the earth,all the supermarkets in the Bristol area for Cadburys Bournvita, to no joy, so as we are both ex Cadbury employees and now Cadbury pensioners, i decided to contact Cadburys at Bournville, and was told it was decided Cadbury Marketing , to discontinue the sale of this product. I and my Wife are so disapointed at this decision by Cadbury, as there is nothing else like on the market. We and our family have been drinking BOURNVITA be fore bedtime for some 30 odd years or so.
Please Cadburys do have a rethink to reintrduce the product so we can all have decent night sleep again.

I am most disappointed that Cadbury have decided to withdraw Bournvita, without doubt the finest bedtime drink. I have ended my day with a mug of Bournvita for more years than I care to remember and I have not been able to find a suitable substitute. Despite enquiring at my local stockists, they all came up with the same answer "Sorry, it appears no longer to be available". I am not naive to Cadbury's business concerns if the general demand for the product is not there in sufficient numbers, then tough decisions have to be made, but if there is any chance of a change of heart Please! Please! re-introduce Bournvita at the earliest opportunity.

I have come onto this site to see what I could find out for my mother in law (aged 91) as she is bereft without her Bournvita. I could not believe it when I heard that Bournvita was no longer available. It is an institution. I remember my father always drank Bournvita before bedtime, that is going back to the 50s.

I do have to be honest, however, and say that I could never stand the stuff!! I can quite understand it losing popularity - sorry.

There's a petition here to sign: www.ipetitions.com/petition/bournvita

Please, please reintroduce BOURNVITA

Why is it that today nothing is left to carry on my grandchildren allso love this drink,PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK WE LOVE IT CADBURy"S BOURNVITA .

I love bournvita and for the past three weeks I have been to all
the supermarkets in plymouth, morrisons,tesco, asda, and
co-op, looking for a carton of what I call my nightcap, but to no
avail, even the customers services at these stores do not seem
to know why they cannot get any, is there anyone at cadburys
able to tell us what is happening!

I've been in touch with Cadbury's and they tell me that their marketing department has decided to discontinue Bournvita. HOWEVER, they say that there is a chance it will be reintroduced and imply that this would be up to customer demand. So get writing to Cadbury or send them an email. I can't get hold of any in the Swindon, Wiltshire ...  Read the complete review

Sorry that none of you guys can't find it. I live in Leeds and shop at Morrisons which still do stock it, in fact I purchased a jar just last week. Maby if Morrisons have a store wherever you live you can take a look around the tea and cofee isle where its usull kept inamong the other hot chocolates and malted drinkds like Horlicks... Good luck in your serch everyone.

Bournvita is the daddy. It's real nice and sends you off to the land of nod no probs.
