Nestle purchased Carnation Co. in 1985 with a $3 billion deal, meaning production of BonBons fell to Nestle - and it didn't disappoint. With a slight rebrand (from "Bon Bons" to "Nestle BonBons"), Nestle began running its own commercials, including a catchy jingle that teased, "the thing about a BonBon, it's almost always gone-gone." Besides the flavor, these wacky commercials are perhaps what former fans remember the most.
The Protein Blended Cold Brew drinks were mixtures of either almond or coconut milk, Cold Brew, almond butter or cacao, and more, which resulted in a thick and chalky drink. Despite having 12 grams of protein for a grande, they received more negative reviews than positive, leaving customers dissatisfied with the drink’s coarse texture.
