Cadbury's bring back Wispa's

Cadbury bows to 'bring back Wispa' net campaign

Cadbury has agreed to resurrect the Wispa bar it consigned to history in 2003 after a concerted net campaign in which choc fans mobilised on Facebook and YouTube to demand satisfaction:

Admittedly, the above's not the most energetic call-to-arms ever to grace cyberspace, but it does form part of a critical activist mass - including the pair who earlier this year interrupted Iggy Pop's Glastonbury performance bearing a "Bring Back Wispa" banner* - which has persuaded Cadbury to bow to "unprecendented" pressure.

According to the Telegraph, Cadbury's Tony Bilsborough explained: "We get letters about the Aztec bar and the lime barrel in the Dairy Milk tray. But this is on a whole different scale. This is the first time we are going to give the internet a chance to prove itself and see whether it is all hype or genuine."

The acid test begins on 7 October, when the firm will release an initial run of 23 million Wispas at 42p a pop. Back in 1981, when it was all fields round here, Wispa was released in the north east under the slogan "Bite it and Believe it" - for a rather more modest 16p.

I still remember the adverts, for the original wispa, featuring many British sitcom double acts from the day, from such unforgettable pieces of ITV tripe as Never the Twain and Just Good Friends

Altough this is a great day, all I want brought back are GoldenCups and banana flavoured Chewits, and Cherry Coke made more accessable, and can anyone tell me whatever happened to tab clear?

Dont care about the rest, just goldencups

I used to work for Cadburys, many moons ago, and the Wispa bar was invented in Moreton on the Wirral.  I worked in the office and the "inventor folk" used to bring all there goodies to us to try them out, so I tried the wispa bar about 18 motnhs before it came out.  They had some weird vasrietys of it that never made the shops, like coffee flavour, which was horrible!
