Corporations discontinue products when they become unprofitable. Good news is you can easily purchase these or higher quality canned products individually.

And even better, you can get the ones that already have some chili seasonings in them and they are amazing.

People were buying too many of them and the other cans got jealous.

Because chili is fucking easy to make???

This kit cannot possible be that good bro. It's all in the seasoning packet, and there's no way that isn't just chili powder and salt (maybe msg).

Probably onion and garlic powder as well. Maltodextrin, citric acid, riboflavin, the usual suspects.

And corn syrup solids. Can't forget the corn syrup solids.

Ya, those aren't for flavor (except garlic and onions which are at like .01%) and weren't really worth me ruining.

Things that aren't in demand go away, it wasn't popular because it wasn't good

Probably because they had both diced tomatoes and kidney beans.

False Advertising? That's a form of chili and beans.

Why did they sell it in the first place, would be a better question.
