Spearmint Leaves and Green Frogs were ripped from shelves in 2015, amid poor sales results, Nestle corporate affairs manager Margaret Stuart said at the time.
“Red Frogs were outselling Green Frogs, 10 to one,” Stuart said.
“Once they were popular, but over the years they have dropped off,” she added.
