Need Nomad Help
OK, not a life or death situation, but more important.
My granddaughters have developed a taste, and now a craving for Nestles Bocaditos......a chocolate covered strawberry-bran snack.
They were available in Ensenada at Wal-Mart, Commercial Mexicana and Soriana....however, I cannot find them anymore at any of the above stores or any
of the many convienence stores........
Usually found in individual packages (80 pesos) at the checkout counter displays, but have bought by the case (10 packages) by the granola/breakfast
bar section.
If you should happen to spot the chocolate covered ones (not the yogurt), please let me know where!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I spot them, since I'm so far south, would you like me to eat several bags in your granddaughter's honor?

This is no joke.....the 5 year old means business.
Legs, if you find them, I'll figure a way to get them to Ensenada

Well, far be it for me to go up against a 5-year-old who means business! Guess I'll have to kick into Personal Shopper mode!

Follow up
I'll take 4 or 5 cases if you can get them, or as many singles as you can get (40 or 50)..........

Have you tried on line?
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Lemme see what I can find.....but you gotta ask the 5-year-old what's it's worth to her! I know it's worth a bundle to grandpa to stop the badgering, but what's it worth to the little badgerer?

Fez........I found a description on the Nestles (Mexico) web site, but no order info.
I checked with various places here in the states and all I get is a blank stare

She would be forever in your debt, and would love to come down and spend a couple of weeks with you

I also have a Nestle breakfast cereal that I like. It's available a lot of places in Mexico, but I haven't found it - or any other Nestle cereal - in
any store in the USA.
It appears that Nestle is not marketed in the USA.

Yes it is. It's about the only thing I miss from my year (1999) as an adult living in L.A.

I own a food distribution company in Southern California. We have an account with Nestles and will put my people on this immediately!
I realize the urgency in this matter as your granddaughter might be going through sugar withdrawals as we speak. In the meantime, just give her some
Frosted Flaked with sugar on top to hold her over.
