They are still sold in the UK and I found some online shops that will ship it but it's a little expensive, especially shipping. Is there a specialty supermarket here that sells them? I tried World Market and Fresh and Easy but they don't carry it.

It may be better for your teeth if you don't find it in the USA

I remember it from the UK. It's nice stuff. Haven't here though.

No. I can say this with assurance because I went through the same research about three years ago. I even contacted Nestle Corporation International.

However, be aware that what is sold in the UK is not quite the same flavour as what was sold in the USA, and it was VERY difficult to find in standard stores in England. (I did not travel outside of England on my y last trio, so perhaps it's more available in other area?)

If you find some and get it back to the USA, I'd be delighted to pay you a bit extra for shipping me a bix! Seriously!!!!!

Not sure about buying the banana flavour but you probabably already know there is no better shake than quick, milk, raw egg and a banana ran through the blender.

It seems like most specialty groceries around here are Hispanic or Asian. Online shops might be my only option.
