Title: Wispa's
Post by: Snowed Under on October 11, 2007, 08:10:40 AM
See they are back in the shops; exactly the same as I remember them, even the same wrapper; I believe there was a campaign to bring them back.  Are there any other sweets or crisps that you would like to see return?

Wispas were done away with and replaced by Dairy Milk Bubble- as in the past LADIES complained that the wispa was too big and they couldnt eat it in public without it looking uncivilised  ::) but due to popular demand they are back!!!! and ive enjoyed a few since they got back on the shelf!
I thought they used to be in a lighter blue wraper?


Id bring back the old milkyway mind it used to have a brown inside but has a white one now.

This from  http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,1416989,00.html

The sweets graveyard

18 that we have loved and lost

1 Spangles Launched in 1948 by Mars, and sold in various incarnations. Withdrawn in the early 80s, only to resurface in the early 90s, to be dropped again.

2 Texan Ultra-chewy, chocolate-covered nougat bar launched in the mid-70s; disappeared in the mid-80s.

3 Banjo Boring two-fingered wafer bar, lasted for most of the 80s.

4 Aztec Cadbury paid out for a huge TV advertising campaign for this non-chocolate bar (it was peanuts stuck to a fudge finger); it lasted from 1968-1977.

5 Pacers The cloying mint version of Opal Fruits in the 70s and 80s, initially white but later adorned with three green stripes.

6 Chocolate toolbox No one now makes this fun but expensive-to-manufacture novelty box.

7 Callard & Bowser Creamline Toffees A 2001 casualty; they were better than Toffos.

8 Amazin Raisin 1971-78 - the sweets equivalent of rum'n'raisin ice cream.

9 Freshen Up Chewing gum with a liquid centre, an 80s innovation.

10 Bluebird Toffee A classic, but a recent casualty of confectionery industry takeovers.

11 Jap Desserts These old coconut sweets (coconut was often known as 'Jap') died a death in the early 2000s.

12 Cabana Short-lived but high-profile 80s bar that was a rich mix of coconut, caramel and whole cherries.

13 Counters (Galaxy) Harmless chocolate beans cruelly cut off.

14 Pink Panther Extraordinary strawberry-flavoured chocolate bars, thin like Milky Bars. An acquired taste.

15 Bandit Wafer biscuit - a challenger to Penguins (not).

16 Club bars From Jacobs. The full range has been withdrawn, but Orange is still available. Symbol guide: plain = jack of clubs; milk = golf ball; mint = green leaf. Bog-standard but likable for thick chocolate.

17 Nutty Pure 80s bar, with a smoky brown see-through wrapper. Peanuts encase a fudge-type caramel log centre.

18 Double Agent Extremely artificial blackcurrant- or apple-flavoured boiled sweets, with a sherbet centre and spy questions on the wrapper. Classic cold war confectionery.

Missing from this list are Treets and Opal Mints

Seriously, I loved these, even more than the original ones.  Used to eat loads of them.  Would buy the box of them if they make a return.

If your joking Laoislad I will track you down and kill you...painfully. :)

i have to ask... Wtf is a Wispa Gold? Now if they are bringing back bars they should bring back Laser bars, they were yum.. Though could the reincarnation be as good as the original.. Hunky Doreys worcester sauce flavour makes me think not.. They ruined a perfectly good bag of crisps when they brought them back grr

Check the sell by date. In Tyrone they could be there from when they were last in the shops.

Whereas in armagh, judging by the arses on the weemen, the O'Rourkes and of course the silverbridge exile ;) you'd be lucky to find a bar of chocolate that was even approaching its sell by date.

Some drive for a Wispa. Surely he'd have hit Henderson's first. Don't think Falls' even have a shop now.

Had a bit of a disaster today with the Wispa Gold. Picked one up when was getting my lunch today. It was packed on top of my hot lunch, by time I got back to office, the fecking thing was melted. Had to put it in the freezer to harden it up. Worth the wait though, was enjoyable with a cup of tea. Maybe the coldness of it made it nicer, will have to compare with a room temperature one next week.

Some journey but I finally found some and have eaten 4 so far...
None in my local Centra or the Centra down the road,none in any of the shops in Lucan village so I decided to enter into bandit country and went to Clondalkin... :o
Found them in a Spar there.....It was worth the risk of getting stabbed/shot/raped by going to Clondalkin(I dunno how Tankie likes living there  ;) )
