Vice Versas still not in sight
« on: September 15, 2009, 09:16:05 pm »
So I contacted Nestle to see whether there's any chance of a return to production for Vice Versas, and pointed out that there are at least two petitions near or over 1000 people (the one on this site and one linked via the Facebook group) and there are over 4000 people in the Facebook group too.
Sadly the reply I got was the stock one that they must have used before (it's basically the same as what's written on wikipedia). Here's the reply:
"Thank you very much for your email.
 
Unfortunately we had to withdraw Vice Versas from our range as they were expensive to make and sales were relatively low. It was a difficult decision for us because we are proud of all our products and do not like to disappoint our consumers.
 
We hope you can understand why we took this decision. Thank you once again for taking the trouble to contact us."

Ah well...

Didn't the Wispa group get over 1 million members?

I remember a product, similar to Vise Versas, called Quirks. They had a minty shell and a chocolate centre. They were lovely!
Old but spicey!

If Nestle won't consider bringing back Vice Versas, something they've done before and has some following on Facebook etc (ok not as much as wispa but that's hardly surprising), it seems very unlikely that the super expensive Secret will ever come back :(

Secret I dare say COULD out do Wispa in a shot, I actully think the new KK camrel is better than the wispa gold

I didn't like Secrets either.  And I agree with 623 that KK Caramel Chunky is better than Wispa Gold.

Wow! Someone else who didn't like Secrets! Can it possibly be true?! ;)
I also prefer Kit Kat Chunky Caramel to WispaGold - I love the caramel layer.  It's kind of fudgey.  I just wish they had kept the Peanut Butter one as well :(
