It seems the Wispa is quite sadly missed. I never used to buy it very often but it's a shame the option has gone. Wispa Gold and Mint are different matters though - I could have happily lived on them  Aero Caramel is a very poor imitation of Wispa Gold

I see they have altered Aero caramel already.

Really? Have you tried the new version? I might be tempted to give it a go. I still have an original in my fridge that will be eaten at a point of desperation.

I seem to have more and more points of desperation lately...

It has been relaunched with the other Aero's except orange, as 'now more creamier'

Yes but they have also changed the internal layout of it.

Title: Wispa??
Post by: goldencup on June 13, 2005, 11:52:00 pm

Please tell me they don't really call it 'more creamier'

That sounds complicated!

I am sure on the packet it has the new Aero logo, they have changed the
font. And then in the corner 'now more creamier'. I will have a look
when I go in the shop next time.

I'll go along with 'now more creamy' or even 'now creamier' but 'more creamier?'.  Still it wouldn't surprise me, the standard of English nowadays....(walks off into the sunset, wringing her hands and muttering darkly to herself).

Title: Wispa??
Post by: oldspice on June 15, 2005, 03:42:41 pm

The term "creamier" suggests an upward moderation from "creamy". Therefore, "more creamier"  is superfluous (??) and also bad English!

You can breath a sigh of relief goldencup. It says 'New creamier chocolate'

I think chock chic was quoting from a wrapper so it's their bad English I was referring to.

wispa's are still avalible but they are under a diffrent name.

i think it was last year cadbury changed all there product names like caramel changed to cadbury's dairy milk and caramel.wispa's are now cadburys dairy milk and wafer.

 

sorry if i confused you

Title: Wispa??
Post by: milky way on August 22, 2005, 01:25:52 pm

oh and they are a lot smaller now then they used to be

Title: Wispa??
Post by: loulou on August 22, 2005, 01:32:38 pm

wispas don't have wafer in

Title: Wispa??
Post by: milky way on August 22, 2005, 01:36:20 pm

Title: Wispa??
Post by: milky way on August 22, 2005, 01:40:58 pm

Title: Wispa??

HERE'S A PICTURE OF IT

Title: Wispa??
Post by: loulou on August 22, 2005, 04:10:57 pm

Is that really a Wispa?

Title: Wispa??
Post by: milky way on August 22, 2005, 04:24:23 pm

yes i think so

Title: Wispa??
Post by: on August 22, 2005, 09:25:33 pm

Hah! If you think that is anything LIKE a Wispa you are seriously deluded.

f**king corporations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Title: Wispa??
Post by: oldspice on August 23, 2005, 12:03:17 am

I like Cadburys Bubbly.

I used to LOVE mint Wispas.

Title: Wispa??
Post by: loulou on August 23, 2005, 12:11:53 am

I loved mint wispas too and mint aeros. There aren't enough minty chocolate bars about.

Title: Wispa??
Post by: chocolate chick on August 23, 2005, 01:33:10 pm

I like cadbury's bubbly but its not as a nice as wipsa. Wispa had a nicer texture

Title: Wispa??
Post by: loulou on August 23, 2005, 06:46:32 pm

i think wispa was smoother

Title: Wispa??
Post by: smurfboy on August 24, 2005, 02:58:11 pm

I would like to see them both available! They do it with Turkish Delight and Turkish, why not Wispa and Bubbly?

Title: Wispa??
Post by: chocolate chick on August 26, 2005, 10:22:43 am

I can image that Wispa sales were high. Why discontinue them?

Title: Wispa??
Post by: oldspice on August 26, 2005, 12:58:57 pm

Indeed. And, turning to Mars, why call a Marathon Bar a Snickers Bar? Snickers sounds like an old pair of trainers or worse, a pair of ladies under clothes. Why call Opal Fruits Starburst just to bring us into line with the rest of the world. Is it our fault they have no imagination?

Title: Wispa??
Post by: kevvosa on August 26, 2005, 08:09:03 pm

I preferred Opal Fruits, Starburst sounds naff but then again Ive
gotten used to it now, some people will always remain in the dark ages.

Title: Wispa??
Post by: goldencup on August 26, 2005, 08:17:48 pm

Besides when Marathon became Snickers they totally changed the recipe.

Title: Wispa??
Post by: oldspice on August 26, 2005, 08:24:32 pm

Better or worse Goldencup?

Title: Wispa??
Post by: goldencup on August 26, 2005, 08:29:16 pm

I have never liked it either way as I don't 'do' peanuts but I remember friends at the time saying it was definitely better as Marathon.

Title: Wispa??
Post by: loulou on August 27, 2005, 01:28:35 am

Snickers are too salty.

Title: Wispa??
Post by: scotschoclover on August 27, 2005, 12:08:57 pm

Has the Wispa bar really been discontinued,or is it just harder to find?. 

Title: Wispa??
Post by: chocolate chick on September 01, 2005, 03:52:42 pm

I still call them opal fruits

Title: Wispa??
Post by: VanQuish on November 13, 2005, 09:46:31 am

Indeed Wispa's are missed, not to mention the mint ones!!

Title: Wispa??
Post by: goldencup on November 13, 2005, 07:24:44 pm

And Wispa Golds!  Sigh....

Title: Wispa??
Post by: chocolate chick on November 14, 2005, 08:59:54 am

I had a dream about Wispas

Do tell

Post by: chocolate chick on November 14, 2005, 09:51:56 am

We was walking around Tesco, like you do, and I was about to have a bit
of a spreee down the chocolate aisle when he took the trolley off me
and ran to the check out. There were also fruity yorkies and dark
aeros
