Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 10, 2007 Admin Report Posted October 10, 2007 It's official - Wispa bars are back !!!! Eighties favourite - the Wispa - is back by popular demand. Cadbury has agreed to re-launch the chocolate bar in response to calls from internet campaigners. It is putting around 23 million Wispas on sale from this week, four years after the bar was dropped due to declining sales. More than 14,000 Retards Club members lobbied the confectionary giant to "bring back Wispa". Online campaigns were also held on social networking sites Bebo, MySpace and YouTube. Wispa bars were launched as trial product in the Tyne Tees area in 1981 and rolled out nationally two years later. Their return has been welcomed by actress Rula Lenska, who appeared in one of the original Wispa commercials alongside then-husband Dennis Waterman. She said: "It is bringing back an iconic thing from the Eighties due to huge public demand. It was certainly my beloved chocolate bar then and I was devastated to see it go. But as so often happens, the good things do tend to come back in a circle." Describing the 1980s, she added: "It was probably one of the happiest times of my life. I knew who I was, my career was going well and I had a young, very beautiful daughter. It was a really great time for music, fashion, everything really."

Admin Vista Posted October 10, 2007 Admin Report Posted October 10, 2007 I didn't even realise they'd gone the 80's seem to be on a roll at the moment, but they'd better not bring those infernal rubix cubes back!!! The hours I've wasted taking all the stickers off and replacing them in the right place again and again. PLUS there was always some spotty herbet geek that appeared to do it in a about 9 seconds when I'd been giving myself blisters all day!! Arrrghhhh!! I loved the 80's but hated those things
