On the advice of the pediatrician, my mother forbade me to eat them, as they seemed to have turned me into a hyperactive rascal and naughty boy, just like the oatmeal from the same company!

I think Kentauer stopped production because the orange dye was not harmless. I grew up in Lützelflüh and ate the stuff by the kilo. But I was more of a smart aleck and a pain in the ass :-)

@moz,
Kentauer is back!

Thank you for the good news. The people of Lützelflüher are delighted. Let's hope that they will include the orange nuts in their range again.
