Return of the Wispa
3 October 2007Chocolate lovers may be aware that Cadbury have bowed to pressure from the internet community and have relaunched the Wispa bar, which disappeared from our shelves 4 years ago.
The Wispa was first introduced as a trial bar in 1981 and proved to be highly successul, prompting a full national release in 1983. It was Cadbury’s answer to Nestle’s Aero. Sadly, after declining sales througout the 90’s, Cabury’s pulled the bar from their range in 2003, replacing it with “Dairy Milk Bubbly”. A black day for chocolate lovers.
The good news is that the Wispa is back, again in limited edition, and if it proves successful, then Cadbury’s may re-introduce it fully into their range. A case of history repeating.
According to Cadbury’s The Wispa bars are not supposed to be released until the 8th of October, however, last evening I found a box of them on sale in Sainsbury’s, Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. I snapped up two and am pleased to say they taste every bit as good today as they did in their 80’s heyday. A bubbly delight.
So Wispa lovers out there, get buying and lets make sure the Wispa is back for good!
More information at the Cadbury’s Wispa Micro Site. Happy days indeed.
