    Good call. I do not understand the logic behind the rebranding of classic Cadburys products - Dairy Milk with bubbles (Wispa), Dairy Milk with caramel (Caramel) and what's with this Cadburys Creme Egg bar lark?!

    Laura Lee, you realise that if they do bring them back, you'll have to justify the campaign by having at least one a day...so that, added to your Caramello fetish, makes for a lot of chocolate like...

    remember the limited edition coffee flavoured wispa?
    Oh I loved that. Don't think anyone else did, though.
    Like coffee roses! They rocked.
    That's a whole other thread though...;)

    Oh my God yes! I loved that! Almost as much as I loved the limited edition 'black' mars bar!

    Ooohh that was also great!
    Where did that go? It's so cruel, they bring out these bars, I get addicted and then, bam! they stop making them!
    Sigh...

    Roxy, I could definately eat A wispa a day..My caramello buzz doesnt exist as much anymore. Anyways back to original point! Dairy Milk bubbly is a shocking imitation! It doesnt melt the same way Wispa does.:cool:

    Hey Laura Lee, it seem Iggy Pop may or may not be on board with the WIspa revolution.

    Scroll down to the third entry here, "the filth and the fury".

    there's a really weird retro chocolate and sweet shop, beside covent garden, that has CRAZY retro cadbury's bars and other things for sale. can't remember what its called (but you'll know it when you see it). i'm trying to remember some of the stuff i saw in there, honeycomb kit kats and cookie dough kitkats, and cadbury malt bars, all sorts of things you don't see in your local shop.

    Wouldnt they be out to date?! I'd be scared to eat them in fear of being ill. But I'd do it in the name of Wispa. Oh yeah. Maybe even twice. Wispas and big dippers ice cream....they stopped making that years ago. I still feel the need to shed tears:cool: :mad: :cool:

    true story...

    about a year ago I was back in my mom's house at a BBQ...remember when we used to have nice weather during the summer months !!!
    Anyways...I was searching for the ice cream in the freezer....she has one of them fancy big deep freezers...it's super-massive like....
    Well...I couldn't find the ice cream and she informed me that it may be near the bottom as she got it a week earlier....so I practically emptied the freezer and what should I find on the very bottom of the freezer ???
    A deadly Cadbury's Wispa that one of my siblings (or even myself) must have put in there some years earlier.....my dessert was sorted at least...still didn't find the poxy ice cream though....like I cared !!!

    Are ye still awake ???

    You were lucky to get a Wispa even if it was out of date. Maybe have another look in that freezer, maybe there is a little man down there making them . Now wouldnt that be exiciting!;)

    It's quite possible I'd be the highest bidder! Maybe if we all put our heads together we can discover the secret forumla that is the receipe for making a wispa!

    My guess. Chocolate, bubbles and fairies.

    Definately Umpa Lumpas. Without a doubt. So I'm figuring if we get some of those we can bring wispa back? Now...does that include girls with lots of bad fake tan?

    Well folks....I thought I'd call on the big guns....my aul-lad is the lord mayor of Clondalkin....seriously !!!
    I had him mail Cadbury's for us to request an exchange...
    They can take back the "Flake Praline" and return us our beloved Wispa...
