‘People are simply not buying them’: That’s a wrap for Fantales (www.smh.com.au)

If by endless you mean the repeating 12 or so on the wrapper reel?

I honestly think this is part of the problem for Fantales. Same problem with the Chews by The Natural Confectionary Company. It doesn't take very long at all until you're familiar with everything, and then the novelty wears off. It surely couldn't take a lot of effort to have, like, one person spending a day per year coming up with enough new facts to create a lot of variety, and another day or two writing them up properly, could it?

I agree. I mean, people like chocolate. People like caramel. People like trivia. Can't help but see this as a major fail by the company.

If Carlton Draught can do it, Fantales surely could.
