Fans of sugary delights have been crushed by the disappearance of three beloved Australian candies - Red Ripperz, Sherbies, and Milkos - from the shelves of various stores.

Causing great disappointment to candy enthusiasts, Allen's, the producer, has abruptly halted the production of their delightful sugary treats, leaving one admirer to claim it as the most dreadful day they have experienced.

It hasn't escaped people's notice that the popular candies have been difficult to locate in stores for several months, leading numerous individuals to turn to social media in an attempt to unravel the enigma.

However, in unfortunate news for those who enjoy indulging in sugary treats, Nestlé, the parent company of Allen's, has officially halted the manufacturing of its collection of three lollipops.

"Our team at Nestlé, specifically the marketing confectionary department, has decided to temporarily halt the production of our individual packets containing Allen's Red Ripperz Sticks, Sherbies, and Milkos. This hiatus is due to the relocation of our production operations to the new and exciting facility in Broadford," shared Melanie Chen, the head of marketing at Nestlé, during a conversation with 7Life.

Fans of sugary delights have been left heartbroken as three beloved Australian candies - Red Ripperz, Sherbies, and Milkos - have mysteriously vanished from store shelves.

We are making every effort to reintroduce these products back onto the shelves, packaged individually, as quickly as we can.

Online detectives had been investigating the matter for some time before the formal declaration, and one individual even penned a query stating, "Is it true that Red Ripperz are no longer available?"

I've been searching for Red Ripperz everywhere and it seems they are sold out everywhere I check. Even on the official Allen's website, they are not listed. Am I out of the loop or is there something happening that I'm not aware of?

The Red Ripperz fan didn't stand alone in their frustration, as another individual wondered why Red Ripperz seemed to be out of stock everywhere. They eagerly inquired about when new supplies would arrive in Australia, mentioning that all the major supermarkets were completely sold out.

Another person inquired about the availability of Red Ripperz, asking when they will be replenished. They expressed their strong desire to acquire them, mentioning their desperation.

Upon receiving the official announcement of the production halt, a saddened fan expressed with deep sorrow, "This is absolutely the most dreadful day I have ever experienced. Please, I implore you, bring them back without delay."

Indicating that nostalgia has no limits, another individual took the entire situation very personally.

BREAKING NEWS! All the things we loved as children have been halted due to the dissatisfaction of contemporary living.

For those who absolutely cannot go on without their beloved candies, namely Red Ripperz, Sherbies, and Milkos, there is some good news. These delectable treats can still be found in Allen's Chew Mix bags, although they are no longer sold separately.

Ms. Chen has made a commitment that the company will inform fans on our Facebook page when the individual bags become available again.

The Red Ripperz used to be called Red Skins, but they decided to change their name in November 2020 due to a negative response from the public, who believed the old name was offensive to Native Americans.

Boys underwent a rebranding and were given the new name of Cheekies simultaneously.

"Nestlé remains dedicated to preserving admiration for our acquaintances, community members, and coworkers," expressed Chris O'Donnell, the general manager of Nestlé's confectionery division, during that period.

We trust that our beloved lollies will receive the backing of Australians as they undergo a transformation – although the names have been altered, the lollies themselves have stayed the same.

We will ensure that any modifications to the packaging are straightforward, making it effortless for candy enthusiasts to locate their beloved treats.

Allen's, the company that produces Sherbies, has recently and without much fanfare decided to cease the production of these delectable sugary treats. This news has left many fans devastated, with one devotee even claiming it to be the most dreadful day they have ever experienced. A photo featuring Sherbies accompanies this piece.

Milkos (shown), alongside Red Ripperz and Sherbies, are still included in Allen's Chew Mix packs, though they are not individually sold.

The most recent development in the candy industry came after the declaration in June that Fantales would no longer be produced after a whopping 93 years.

The caramels coated in chocolate, known for the anecdotes of film celebrities printed on the packaging, ceased production in July.

Nestlé announced its choice to make major changes at their confectionery plant in Melbourne due to a decrease in sales and the requirement for costly upgrades.

"We are aware that our choice to discontinue the production of Fantales might be disheartening for numerous individuals," expressed Andrew Lawrey, the General Manager of Nestlé Oceania Confectionery, during that period.

A lot of us have fond recollections of Fantales from our childhood.

In spite of the feelings of sentimentality triggered by Fantales, regrettably individuals are not purchasing them as frequently as they previously did.

He mentioned that a substantial amount of capital is required for purchasing the equipment necessary for producing Fantales.

Mr. Lawrey mentioned that it has become more challenging to acquire the necessary components to keep it functioning, and due to the decrease in sales, it is not feasible to replace it.

The production of Fantales, those delightful caramel treats coated in chocolate that used to feature movie stars' life stories on the packaging, ceased in the month of July.

Fantales came into existence in 1930, during the era when the glitzy Hollywood movies captivated audiences, drawing them in large numbers to the silver screen.

In order to catch the trend, the soft caramels were enveloped with 'celebrity stories' of actors and musicians on their packaging.

Australia's most iconic sweet treat was once proclaimed as the epitome by The New York Times.

In June 2015, Allen's Spearmint Leaves and Green Frogs candies were removed from stores indefinitely due to declining purchases.
