ON MY WAY TO CALIFORNIA FROM BUCKINGHAM PENNSYLVANIA I STOPED IN A SUPERMARKET (BEFORE IT WAS RENAMED RALPHS OR RALEYS) MAYBE TEN YEARS AG0 AND THAT'S WHERE I FIRST DISCOVERED MOCHA MIX. IT WAS FANTASTIC. IN A VICTORVILLE CALIFORNIA SUPERMARKET (ALBERTSON'S I THINK) I AGAIN FOUND IT. AGAIN I ENJOYED MY SECOND CONTAINER. ON MY WAY HOME I MADE SURE I STOPPED IN ALBUQUERQUE FOR MY THIRD MOCHA MIX. ALBUQUERQUE WAS THE FURTHEST EAST THAT I COULD FIND IT. NEXT YEAR I DID THE SAME, AND I LOOKED FORWARD TO REPEAT IT ON SUBSEQUENT TRIPS TO CALIFORNIA. THEN ONE YEAR I WENT INTO RALPHS (rALLYS?) IN ALBUQUERQUE AND COULDN'T FIND ANY. I CHECKED WITH THE MANAGER. HE REMEMBERED MOCHA MIX BUT SIMPLY SAID THEY DON'T SELL IT! AND SINCE THEN I'VE TRIED MANY SUPERMARKETS OUT WEST AND CANNOT FIND ANY. I EVEN WROTE A LETTER TO THE MANUFACTURER AND MY LETTER WAS RETURNED!

I AM NOT AT ALL SURPRISED THAT THIS SITE EXISTS.
BUT AM DISAPPOINTED THAT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO MOCHA MIX. iKINDA THINK THAT SOME FOREIGN ELEMENT THAT'S TAKEN OVER THE u.s. IS OUT TO STOP ANYTHINGS THAT IS GOOD AND HEALTHY, UNTIL MAYBE THEY CAN MANUFACTURE A CHEAPER PRODUCT.
