Had these as a child and continued eating them up until Nestle ceased making them. Would buy again in a heartbeat
Nestles Wheatflakes
I have just watched a documentary on Longleat Safari Park and Alexander George Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath was featured along with rooms of paintings of his ancestors. In the breakfast room was a table set out for breakfast with a box of Nestles Force Wheatflakes breakfast cereal ready to be used. On seeing the box I asked my wife (we're both in our 70's) if she had heard or seen them in any of the supermarkets in our lifetime when living in England (now in the Isle of Man) and she said no. Like her, I was curious as to where you could purchase them only to find they are no longer available or in production. As cereal lovers I was a little disappointed we at least couldn't try them. Having worked in the advertising industry most of my life I can only think the loss of this apparently likeable breakfast was due to really poor marketing and advertising, maybe Nestles should think of returning them to the shelves under a completely 'new branding' of the packaging.

Bring Back Force Breakfast Cereal.
Just found why I can't find a favourite cereal any more. It was tasty, slightly crunchy, good value and not sweet. I always bought some if I had run out and I saw it on the shelf although I am not a huge cereal eater (because they are mostly too costly and hideously sweet).
There is an old but still sprightly looking Sunny Jim hanging on the kitchen wall - surely there is room for a bit of retro charm in the cereals market.
I notice a nestles boss has recently been made a ennobled to the UK house of lords. This is a travesty - she should be locked in the Tower more like. Makes you think the H of L should perhaps be abolished after all.
Force Flakes Rip - Long Live Grape Nut Flakes
Hurrah...found the best alternative to Force Flakes. POST, another American company, make GRAPE NUT FLAKES as well as Grape Nuts, which are the nearest to good old Sunny Jim's tucker that I have come across since their sad demise. They are light, malty and taste nearly as good...and no I am not employed by POST! I got mine from Waitrose..well worth a try for all you old FORCE lovers. NStan
Still hoping that Nestles will bring back the cereal Force or pass it on to someone else! It was always in short supply and certainly wasn't well known. I remember once asking an assistant in Sainsbury's - who did stock it but no longer of course -where the Force was when I couldn't find it on the cereal aisle and she directed me to cleaning products! I shall certainly try POST Grape Nut Flakes - which supermarket stocks it??

Nestle Just Not Listening
I too was dismayed to find my local sainsburys no longer stocked Force cereal.
It was simply the best and next to corn flakes it was my favorite.
If they wanted to sell it, they could, advertising sells anything, so come on, show a little willingness and invest in this product.
It's worth saving.
Alternatively give it to someone prepared to make it as you're obviously not.
I was in Waitrose today and saw that they are now doing a cereal called Grape-Nuts Flakes (not comtaining comtaining grapes or nuts, despite the name), by brand name Post, which not only looks alike, it contains the same ingredients as Force - light and crispy toasted whole wheat flakes with barley malt. I have yet to try them, but I think this is the closest you are going to get because I've been searching high and low for a replacement, without much luck! Also, I believe Waitrose brought this in a replacement because, apart from Sainsburys, they were the only supermarket to sell Force Flakes, and quite a few customers expressed their disappointment when it was no longer available there. Will post back once I've tried these! Hope they taste as good!

Devastated
The most delicious, crunchy cereal that is quite unique in the market place - all the teenagers who came to my house when my 3 boys were growing up absolutely loved this cereal, but had never seen it before - Nestle - it simply needs better promotion. It is simply the best cereal.
I was in Waitrose today and see that they are now doing a cereal called Grape Nuts Flakes, by brand name Post. Unlike the name, they actually contain neither grapes not nuts, but the same ingredients as Force Flakes did - light crispy, toasted whole wheat flakes and barley malt being the main ones. They also look pretty much the same! Have yet to try them, but I think this is as close as we are going to get because I've searched high and low for a replacement, without and luck! I also believe that Waitrose brought these in as a replacement because, apart from Sainsburys, they were the only supermarket to sell Force Flakes, and quite a few customers expressed their disappointment when they were no longer able to get them there. After much frustration trying to find anything remotely similar, these do look promising; I shall post back once I've tried them!

Simply The Best!
I wrote to Nestlé in 2012. There was a half-hearted promise of a return of the product in 2013 but not so far. Have tried all sorts of alternatives but nothing matches Force. It was always difficult to find stores that stocked it and on many occasions I came away with up to 20 boxes because I wasn't sure when I might next find some. Perhaps that was a little selfish but thought the store would be amazed how popular it really was. Obviously not, come on Nestlé!!!!

Disappointment At Nesles Refusal To Continue Manufacture
These are a cereal beloved by all our family as the tastiest of all. Our children, now in their fifties were brought up on them and there is nothing comparable with them that can be obtained anywhere in the UK. Can Nestle be persauded to continue this line as there is a great demand for them? When available they were alwaya bought up immediately by grateful customers.
