Subject: Cadbury's Wispa is back!

Written By: Stompgal on 10/12/07 at 11:35 am

It's been four years since the bubbly chocolate bar was last seen on UK shelves but due to popular demand, it's back. As well as the original Wispa bar, I also loved Wispa Gold (with caramel), Wispa Mint (mint fondant centre) and Wispa Bite (shortcake and caramel).

Take a trip down memory lane by going to www.cadbury.co.uk and see for yourselves.

This is the first time I've ever heard of them.

Perhaps it was only available in the UK?

So for the last four years it has been a Silent Wispa?

It was never a big favourite of mine...a bit too bland for my liking...

As I'm here, I may as well visit the book of crap jokes for this one...

Q. Why was george Michael covered in chocolate?

A. He was careless with his wispa...

(Somewhere in history, it must have been hilarious!)

We do have Cadbury chocolate bars here in the US, but I don't recall ever hearing of one called Wispa... ???

That's what I meant.  Perhaps you have it but it is known by a different name.  Like what is a Milky Way in the US is called a Mars Bar in the UK.

Purely in the spirit of research I hereby volunteer to try all the Cadbury's chocolate I can find in the US to see which, if any, is like the Wispa.

Karen's right. Wispa is only available in the UK. I bought myself a bar from my local Waitrose store a couple of weeks ago and it was as good as I remember.

It sounds like an "Areo" bar.

The air bubbles in Aero were bigger than Wispa

Wispa's were my choice of choc in the 80s. I always felt healthier if I chose one over a Mars.  ;D
