Return of an old friend
While walking in town a couple of days ago I spotted a chocolate bar wrapper on the ground. Usually I would tut-tut at this littering but in this case I became quite excited for all the right reasons. The reason for my excitement? The wrapper was from a long discontinued product called the ‘Cadbury Wispa bar’.
So there I stood in the street pointing at the ground and excitedly shouting at my wife, “Look ,look it’s a Wispa! It’s a Wispa!”
Obviously this earned me nothing but blank looks from my wife, passers-by and other “chocolately unenlightened people”.
This wonderful Cadbury product was such a huge favourite of mine when it was around in the 1980’s and the wrapper was exactly how I remember it, it was even just as large as I remember which is a rarity when it comes to chocolate bars from my younger days. Close inspection showed that this wrapper was fresh and had recently been opened so it was not a remnant from the 1980’s.
So obviously it was my mission to hunt down the source of this find. Not a problem, the first newsagent I visited had a box on the counter so I purchased one and within ten minutes was savouring a taste from my past. As the velvet chocolate melted and swirled in my mouth I swear I could hear the faint sound of Duran Duran, and the clickety-click of 1000 Rubic Cubes.
The Wispa is Back
Ahhhhh the joy! Find out more at the Cadbury Wispa Website. Its well worth a visit if you love Wispa or if you are a child of the 80’s like me.
