Yeah, that’s right, I’m reviewing this bar first! The Wispa is back and we got a shipment in at work today, they’re selling like hotcakes and I got first dibs. The fabled bar has had many people weeping after its demise, and after a hell of a lot of pressure, Cadbury’s have finally brought it back.

Looking at the pack, it’s as if the bar never left. The same blue packaging, with ‘Wispa’ in big, bubbly red font. The same slogan – ‘Aerated Milk Chocolate Bar’ – on the sides of the packet, and the massive waves of nostalgia when you pick it up. I almost didn’t want to eat it, I was afraid that it would all go wrong, that I’d taste it and find that it tasted bad or different to how I remember and that all my memories would be dashed. Fortunately, it didn’t…

Let’s not go overboard though, Wispa wasn’t the best bar around when it was on the market, and it isn’t now. The thing that annoyed me was that Cadbury got rid of it in order to bring in their Dairy Milk range, this one being ‘Dairy Milk Bubbly’, which just isn’t the same as a Wispa. This is Cadbury’s answer to an Aero, and at the risk of offending many of my readers, I still think the Aero is better.

They’re different sorts of bars though, the Wispa is a long, thick milk chocolate bar that happens to be bubbly, whilst the Aero is much more bubbly, crumbly and I think the chocolate is of a better quality. The Wispa, I found, was very average. You don’t know how much I really wanted to like this, I was desperate to put an awesome review of it up, but it is in the end, decidedly average tasting. It’s not bad at all, it’s basically how I remember it tasting.

I didn’t buy it much when it was out before, and according to Cadbury’s not many people did which is why it was cut, and I can see why. I predict awesome sales for the first month or two, but whether Cadbury’s make it a permanent fixture (it’s limited edition at the moment) is up for debate, and when the hype around it dies down, I’m just not sure if it will make it. That aside, surely it would sell more than some of the other Cadbury products…

The bar has 210 calories, 2.7g Protein, 21.2g Carbohydrates (21.1g of which sugars) and 12.9g Fat (8.1g of which saturates). Please don’t lynch me for my opinion.
