Title: On the waifa subject...
Post by: bethypoos on September 07, 2006, 09:41:44 pm
I started a new post, because the last waifa post kind of veered away from waifas. Anyway...i think i saw a new waifa in my local newsagents today. I didn't get a chance to look properly because it was on the counter and the place was kind of busy, but it was a blue wrapper - spelt waifa - and looked more like a chunky bar?!

Hi Bethypoos, i personally haven`t liked the chunky versions of Aeros or Kit-Kats, i like my chocolate biscuits to be flat () I still haven`t found a shop selling Waifas, plenty on the net though, maybe there is no demand for them up here .

I liked Chunky KiKats until they changed the chocolate. Now I hate them. My daughter gave me a few squares of the new orange Aero the other day and I have rarely tasted anything as bad. It was indescribable.

Waifas have always been chunkier than Kitkats.

But when they came out, Kitkat Chunky was made by Nestle anyway wasn't it?  
I didn't realise the recipe had changed.

Yes Kev, Chunky was made by Nestle and yes, they did change the quality of the chocolate they were using. Even before this, they changed the quality of the chocolate they used on Lion Bar and Toffee Crisp. In fact, not long after Nestle took over Rowntrees, they started coating multi-pack Lion Bars in 'chocolate flavoured coating' until people noticed and started kicking up a stink. They reverted to chocolate but of the lowest quality - and extended the change to regular Lion Bars too.

That explains why Lion bars and Toffee Crisps are particularly foul then.

I probably have a deeply embedded seedy fetish for cheap nasty fake chocolate, i wouldn't worry.

Ask Bethypoos. Maybe it's because there was already a Waifa thread in this section?

You created a thread saying you thought Lion Bars had changed, then you mention it twice here. Why keep saying it?

It's in the discontinued forum because people hadn't seen waifas for ages - so thought they'd been discontinued. But, I've got a feeling the 4 finger waifa has, and now they've changed it to this chunky waifa, made by Terrys.

Sorry that`s my fault  I couldn`t find any in Glasgow & the local shop-keeper told me they were discontinued, hence the reason i posted this. Apparently there are thousands of them in cash & carry`s so why aren`t they in the shops

Digressing from choc for a brief moment (how dare she) anyone remember the fab original cheese savouries made by Crawfords, half moon shape, very cheesey (taste wise) and came in a Blue packet? Far better than the bland imitation bags we see in popular supamarkets!
