A few weeks ago I posted a number of entries on my Blog Page, articles about how I was having difficulties in obtaining 3 of the OXO Herbs and Spices cubes,. For me, a fun, humorous and nonsense post. “Oh my gosh” – [OMG] this certainly opened up a ‘Can of Complaints’ against Campbell – [Nee OXO] for no longer manufacturing the Mexican and Italian cubes and leaving the Chinese cubes for the overseas markets only.
I’ve had a number of comments on the posted articles but 48 e-mails from all over UK and the world from people who are complaining that they also couldn’t obtain the Herbs and Spices cubes either.
I’ve sent a round robin e-mail to all of them suggesting they send e-mails, telephone and letters to Campbell, complaining. [Im not holding my breath though].
Some of the comments received:
Hello OXO hunters!
I have just been on the phone to customer services and the chap on the phone seemed to find it all very amusing. He confirmed they have been discontinued but has given me hope for them being reintroduced…
Apparently following an internet campaign, Bisto gravy granules were put back into production. Now I don’t imagine we could generate as much pressure as that campaign but I’m willing to try..!
He gave me the details of the person we should direct our campaign to:
Andrew Ward [Andrew Ward: 01406 367128] – Consumer Relations Manager
Premier Foods
Bridge Road
Long Sutton
Spalding

Anyway, I hope this is of some use.
p.s. if anyone has a spare box of Chinese / Mexican cubes I could buy off them I’d be so grateful! I don’t have a car and can’t drive to Middlesex for them.
There are some for sale on ebay, she has 20 packets, mind you at £1 per box its a bit steep but just thought id mention it. im after finding some for my sister she says her curry isnt the same without the cubes, i managed to find some in the co-op but only 2 boxes. someone has told me to try poundstretchers, but there isnt one around here.
good luck, hope you find some xx

My spices cupboard shows the stock of cubes I’ve got.
