[“The Carriage held but just Ourselves.”]
The bakery (or inn?) disappeared from the Thomas’ English Muffins package some time ago. The carriage, with its horses and riders, disappeared from the package in 2022 but remained in miniature on the package’s plastic bag, where it repeated like a wallpaper motif. And within the last month or so, the bag has disappeared, and Thomas’ English Muffins are now packaged in cellophane, no carriage, no horses, no riders. No sell-by date either.
And now when you crack open the package, you will need to find something to put around it to keep the muffins fresh. That would be the plastic bag from your previous package of Thomas’ English Muffins, if you’re lucky enough to have that previous package around.

Some time later the plastic bag and its carriages reappeared.

Thomas’ carriage has really disappeared

In the last year or so cardboard boxes, "twin pack" for sour cream and onion disappeared. Now that flavour, but not other chip flavours, can only be found in large economy sized bags.
As a teenager, I loved buying coffee crisp where there was a three sided cardboard along the bar inside the wrapper. Now, for years
, there is only the wrapper, and I swear the taste has changed.
I bought a package back in the fall and put them in the freezer. at that time they still had the plastic bag and the carriage logo. perhaps I'll be holding onto the bag for future purchases. the switch to cellophane is probably to move away from plastic packaging.

apparently they called it the "coach and four"
