Copper olives
I know you can still buy them here and there but many places have stopped doing them and I just had another order cancelled from a company who are no longer stocking them. Just bought a bag of 250 off ebay from a guy who was selling his last one. What's going on?

Ah-ha! Must be a new batch they discontinued the old lot. I stopped checking a month or so ago. Superb. Originally Posted by MickBrown
