where are all the Quaker Oat hoops??

A while ago Quaker launched a new range of oat cereals, one of which was oat hoops and once discovered, I can't forget them.
They were less sweet than most cereals and more like American cheerios. Gradually less shops were stocking them, until I could find them no more:confused:.
I have emailed Quaker and they say some stores do stock them, but I must have looked in about 20 different supermarkets in the north and south of england and even inbetween when I have been travelling and not a hoop to be found!
Please can anyone let me know where to find these elusive hoops, thank you in advance
Yours hoopfully :D

    You can get 'Cheerios Oat' now (seen TV advert), not sure if this is like the American Cheerios you refer to or if they will be too sweet for you (I find normal Cheerios are too sweet for me). [89p at Sainsburys (1/2 price) or 2 for £2 at Tesco.]

    They were selling these in home bargains so maybe they are taking them off the market - I tried them but thought they were awful.

    My kids love them too - I have found them in Sainsburys and Somerfield, but they are becoming increasingly rare. Good luck in your hunt!
