The end of an era

It is sad when companies lose what makes them unique and opt to simplify their menus so they can be just like everyone else. KFC removed pineapple and completely dumbed down their menus, Romans removed a number of toppings (incl banana) and it now seems that Debonairs removed their sweet & sour range.

When Debonairs launched, you had 2 big things going for you: Free / fast delivery and a unique menu with options and flavours that you couldn't really get anywhere else, the latter being my main attraction to Debonairs. We would drive over 20km to our closest Debonairs back in the day just so I can order one or two subs plus a Sweet & Sour chicken pizza plus whatever the rest of the family wanted. Subs and your sweet & sour sauce are things that some of your competitors do offer, but they don't compare to the quality and taste that you had. When you discontinued subs, my orders dropped from almost weekly to maybe monthly and with the discontinuation of sweet and sour sauce, I'm afraid that this is now the end of the road.

To be fair, you still have things like the double stack and triple decker that I suppose is unique to you, but that's a bit "weird" and never really appealed to me (tried it, didn't like it).

So I guess this isn't really a complaint, but rather a farewell. It was a good 25-ish years and you will be missed.

P.S. I don't suppose you can tell me where I can buy your specific sweet and sour sauce in large quantities (or how to make it)? I've tried almost every sweet and sour sauce I could find and none compares to yours.
