    The bubbles are far too big, not the right texture at all! :(

    This was answered before. I think Cadburys changed the name (and everything else about it) because Dairy Milk is their flagship product and they want to promote that as much as possible.

    Yes, Wispa was superior to Dairy Milk Bubbly.

    You could write a big long letter to cadbury's asking that they bring it back, but i'd reckon it'd be just binned, and you'd basically be wasting your time.

    Personally, i'd love to see Wispa back again, but right now they are gonna be nothing more than a mere memory.

    I brought this up at a sales meeting a few weeks ago. We (sales team) are trying to get the new product development people to bring back bars such as wispa for limited periods. What Faith said about dairy milk being the main brand is true but that wasn't the reason wispa was dropped, it was dropped because the sales were suffering so they rebranded it as dairy milk bubbly.

    I haf tventy boxes of vispas held hostage in mein safehouse. Send me tventy million euro and I vill release them.

    Failure to comply vill result in the slow and tasty destruction of zeese chocolate bars unt whom you love so much.

    Meet me in ze park. I vill be vearing a trenchcoat and haf a patch over one eye. Depending on how late you get there, I may also be covered unt bubbly chocolate.

    Wispas were always such a treat as a kid. I loved them but would never buy one because they didn't "last" long enough. Much more value to be had in three Highland Toffee bars. :D

    The caramel Wispas were lovely as well... Wispa Gold I think they were called?

    Wispa's were quite possibly the most delicous 'common' chocolate bar you could have. I miss it, Dairy Milk Bubbly just does not taste the same, nor does it have the same texture.

    Well hopefully if they do come back they'll taste the same as they used to, although I know for a fact that even if they are exactly the same some people will say that they aren't

    For the first few words there, I though you were just a really sucky speller.

    I lost my first tooth on a Wispa. Ahh, the memories...
