    The return of the Cadbury Wispa!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6952362.stm

    Internet campaigners have prompted chocolate giant Cadbury to bring back its defunct Wispa bar.
    The brand vanished from UK shelves four years ago amid declining sales and was replaced with Dairy Milk Bubbles.

    But online petitions and campaigns on social networking websites have been calling for Cadbury to think again.

    The firm, which has its main factory in Birmingham, has agreed to relaunch the Wispa for a limited period and 23m bars will be available from October.

    The Wispa bar was as popular in the 1980s as the Rubik's cube
    Great news

    The Wispa gold and mint versions need to be brought back too

    Much smaller bubbles and they were 100% chocolate, as opposed to being a weird green minty chocolate type stuff in the middle.

    Wispa Gold with the caramel on top were reallllllly nice.

    Wispa, 4 years ago. WOW, that's pretty amazing
    I'm going to buy out Cadbury for every Wispa they will have and stock pile them in a factory in Ireland
