It's great to see so many fellow Force-lovers here. My 90 year old father was brought up on it and misses it terribly, and so do I! Other wheat flakes are available but they are poor imitations and none has ever had the lightness and flavor of Force. I still use everyday their attractive wheat-ear knives, forks and spoons which we collected piece by piece in the 1970s when you could buy them if you sent off some packet tops. And that is all I have to remember it by. I wonder if the problem started when Weetabix and then the supermarket own brands started doing their own wheat flakes which were cheaper? They are nothing like as good as Force!

Last made by Nestles in England about 2011-2012, now discontinued. Very low sales, but never advertised! The dolls were still on sale in 1997 for about three pounds and two packet tops.

Being vegan, these were one of just a few cereals I could eat - most being fortified with vitamins and minerals that may be animal in origin. I wrote to the UK manufacturers of Force, they replied saying that they'd stopped production as it was an expensive cereal to make for the amount of units they sold.

Not only is it bad that they've axed a cereal I've always loved, but it's impossible to find anything remotely like it. It's frustrating that unlike other cereals such as Weetabix, Bran Flakes and Shreddies, none of the supermarkets make their own version of this one! Why? At least there would be some consolation! Hate when food companies axe perfectly good and long-standing products that many grew up with! Either that or they change the darn recipe!

I'm only 19 and was introduced to Force by my father years back, and I LOVED IT. If Nestle put some advertising behind it for my generation to hear about it, we may not be in this dreadful situation. We have tried finding alternative wheat flakes but there is NOTHING out there. With no competition, why not fund Force? I can't see why Nestle would support terrible cereals like Cookie Crisp and not Force.

I am another Force lover and am disgusted Nestle do not feel they can still offer this cereal as part of its product line. As another contributor stated, the least they could do is to sell off the brand so that its legion of fans could continue to enjoy Force as they have for generations.

Absolutely gutted to find out from this website that Nestle had discontinued production of this amazing cereal back in 2012. It has been my breakfast cereal for 60 years and I was wondering why is was proving to be more and more difficult to find in my local shops. Now I know! My last purchase was from an online store but even these options no longer exist. Surely an English producer could resurrect our 'Sunny Jim' and in the process make all these reviewers happy again. What a challenge!. NEVER MIND ABOUT CHEERIOS - SUGAR PUFFS AND SHREDDIES - Someone, please 'BRING BACK THE FORCE'. Submitted by Dave.

My parents had a letter from Nestle telling them that it was going to be discontinued this year (after telling us last year that production would probably start again in 2013). We should start a petition to try and change out-of-touch Nestle managers' minds or maybe get a supermarket to produce it.

Horrified to discover that production has stopped - used to buy from independant health food shop which closed, but overjoyed to find local Waitrose stocked it. Last year, each time I asked why they had none in stock was told that there was a 'problem' but not what the problem was so have been hoping to see it again soon - in vain. I am mortified - I have also grown up with Force - still have a Sunny Jim rag doll and agree with most other comments that it was a brilliant cereal, not least because of the lower sugar content. Criminal that it wasn't advertised - it would surely have quickly become popular again with the right campaign. This is not just nostalgia!

I absolutely agree. I've been eating this cereal ever since childhood (I'm now 55), and it's easily my favorite. Not too sweet, high in fiber, easy to eat and digest, and no artificial ingredients. When I heard that Nestle had discontinued Force (and subsequently closed the factory where it was produced) I e-mailed their customer relations department in August 2012 to register my disappointment. They sent me a letter (along with a #6 voucher) explaining that Force had been withdrawn due to "very low sales", but that they "hoped to bring it back in January 2013". This hasn't happened as yet. If they had invested even one tenth of the advertising budget it allocates to other brands such as Shreddies and Cheerios, I'm certain sales would have increased (how about a campaign using the 1970s disco hit "Can you feel the force?"). Instead they seemed happy to let Britain's longest-established cereal brand wither on the vine and die - which begs the question, why did they bother buying it from the previous owners AC Fincken? I still have 2 boxes of Force from a batch I bought in bulk from the 'my supermarket' website after I found out production had stopped - which I'm now using sparingly to conserve them. They've just passed their 'sell by' date, but still taste fine, and I'm willing to take the risk! If Nestle don't want a heritage brand such as Force in their portfolio, why don't they sell it to a smaller cereal manufacturer such as Mornflake or Jordan's who I'm sure would be able make a proper go of it?

If Nestle wanted to sell this cereal in an age where quality wholesome health foods are being actively promoted, they could easily have done a better marketing job. Perhaps another example of a multinational eliminating competition, however small, in favor of selling addictive high sugar / higher profit margin / tasteless ersatz sawdust. I would be interested to know whether the original manufacturing company was profitable before Nestle took them over. Greatly enjoyed the cereal over many decades and even until 2010 was able to buy the cereal in Bahrain where I lived. Dare I venture that another national treasure has been consigned to the scrap heap for the sake of commercial expediency.

This was the best cereal on the market I grew up on this and remember telling my son about it. I was very excited that I found it again in Sainburys.

Another nail in the coffin for variety. Nestle must have bought Force with the long term intention of eliminating it. They did no advertising to support it so why acquire it other than to remove competition? If they don't think it is viable they should offer the brand for sale to someone who will try. Another conglomerate treading on the little people!

I've emailed Nestle twice now about the disappearance of Force. In Nov 2012, they said they were planning to bring it back in Jan 2013 but I've just emailed again asking what is the current state of play and they've responded that they are stopping it permanently due to lack of demand. I'm devastated. Like the rest of you Force-loving people out there, I've been eating this wonderful cereal for years, having been introduced to it by my father and still have the Sunny Jim rag doll I sent up for as a child. My grandson also keeps asking me when will it come back? I told Nestle the "lack of demand" was because hardly anyone had heard of it - even the staff at Sainsburys where I used to get it. It had been moved to a different aisle on one occasion and when I asked where it was, no-one knew what I was talking about. When I eventually located it and showed it to two staff members, they were completely surprised and said they'd never seen it before. Come on Nestle, why don't you resurrect this greatly loved healthy cereal - re-launch it as a 'retro' cereal and ADVERTISE it for the first time! Let the Force remain with us! - By Chrissy

What a shame! Force is a wonderful cereal, and one upon which I grew up. I had the rag doll, T. Towel, poster and the little bus with Force written on the side. Nestle, really should re-introduce it, as it is a healthy option, and even better suited to today's health conscious lifestyles. It is certainly one of their best cereals, and if they promoted it more, it would catch on, being nicer than Kellogg's Special K. The trouble with Nestle is that they do not have any real interest in the companies that they purchase, and it is we, the consumer, who are deprived of something we like!

I agree with Maurice in the comments that this product is an excellent partner to Oats when making Muesli. My local Tesco had just started restocking when it was apparently discontinued, along with Sainsbury & Waitrose. As an old ex Nestle employee [sales] I guess it just didn't achieve the sales volumes to make it a viable stock product - and probably wasn't made directly by them [Cereal Partners?] But as an avid marketeer, there must be a market opportunity probably in the Health Food sector?

Best possible base for muesli when mixed with oats. Cannot find any alternative. Crumbled Weetabix is too gungy. Rye, barley, etc. are too like oats (too grainy on their own). Even my local health food shop doesn't stock any kind of wheat flakes because of gluten allergies! There must be a market for a small health food company to make similar wheat flakes given all of the comments here.

Absolutely distraught to discover that Force has been discontinued. Probably one of the oldest breakfast cereals known to man, very healthy, lovely taste, and no added 'extras'.

To discontinue the manufacture of Force Wheat Flakes is a marketing bombshell, it is a healthy and safe cereal product, unlike the sugar and salt loaded alternatives.

I agree. We have been let down by the suspension of production of Force. Please bring it back.

I totally agree with just about all of the comments made about Nestle's appalling ideas about "sales success dominated attitudes" to this one and only real cereal. It is the only normal cereal which diabetics can eat safely. None of the hundreds of other sweet things... "sugar coated honey frosted flakey" things are possible. We need - in fact the Nation needs - a safe cereal. FORCE! Like the Phil72, I have been eating Force for many many years. BRING IT BACK NESTLE... you should be more responsible to your customers... children's desires aren't the only ones and profit isn't the only "force" in life. Your good name is suffering! Sainsburys! Waitrose! Tesco! come on, use YOUR weight to help we lovers of FORCE. - Kreydathree

Just finished my last box. Devastated they're not being made any more. I've been eating these regularly for over 40 years and I'd hoped to still be eating them for many more. I've emailed Nestle to tell them so. Hopefully they'll see sense, but I doubt it. Force Flakes don't have enough salt, sugar and fat for them to be keen on marketing them.

I sent an e-mail to Nestle. They replied that they had discontinued Force Flakes due to lack of demand but said they might re-launch them next year. It surprises me that they never bothered to advertise this product, unlike Shreddies for which they seem to have a large budget.

When something is this good, not stuffed full of salt and sugar and added vitamins with dubious health claims, why does it always come down to how much profit can be made? This was one of our last reasons for going to Sainsbury's. Surely we can get this rolling on the internet and get some sense back into the supply chain?

My 90 year old father is so very upset - as am I - that Force has stopped production. He is yet to find a cereal that matches what he has eaten for breakfast for most of his life. Can Nestle be persuaded that they have made a bad decision here?

Been a Force eater for over 40 years. Used to live near the AC Fincken factory in Watford and enjoyed the aroma every week too. I can no longer buy Force in the nearest Sainsburys mega store. What is going on? Where is my breakfast cereal?

There's an opportunity out there for someone to take over from Nestle and show them that they are not the only company that can make breakfast cereals. Sainsbury's used to have Wholewheat Miniflakes but stopped selling them 15 years ago but still use them in some mixtures. Time to start selling them again!

Just discovered Force cereal production has been suspended probably for good. Heartbroken! My dad ate this cereal most of his life and introduced me to it at least 50 years ago. My husband and I have eaten it every day for the last 25 years. It's my daughter's favorite cereal for the last 30 years. I've got the shopping bag still and my dad used to have the rag doll. What can we do to bring it back? Maybe someone like Jordan's Mill could be approached to buy the recipe and start producing it.

It appears our favorite cereal has disappeared for good. I have tried various outlets in South Essex to no avail. Seems Nestle has no scruples having bought out AC Fincken several years ago only to stop producing now... RIP.

Sorry that Force has disappeared. Great brand. As usual typical big company attitude to a 'minority thing' - i.e. small sales let's dump it. They don't care about the people like us who love it. Let down by Sainsbury and sadly those we trust - Waitrose. - Pete

I am over 70 and have been eating this cereal for most of my life - where has it gone? Breakfast will never be the same again. The grandsons are distraught.

How can we buy this cereal? Here in Exeter, Devon we are unable to source it in any of the shops. Who can we go to?

I have loved Force since I was little, delighted to discover it in my local Sainsbury's... until this week when they stopped selling it! Does Nestle still make it?

This was my favorite cereal. It was tasty, crunchy and made from wheat grown by British Farmers.
