Remember the Wispa Chocolate bars? Cadburys are bringing them back for a limited time in October. This is due to public internet site pressure.

This is how companies work these days looking at Internet sites.

That's the final nail in the coffin of my already wavering diet!

But I've lost over a stone in the last few months.

Ian.

If there's a campaign for Cresta's Creme Soda ("It's Frothy, Man!"), I'll bite. Mind you, it would probably taste foul nowadays. When I was a nipper, I couldn't get enough of the stuff.

They were originally trialed in the North East in 83 and were extremely popular. I remember my other half finding them in Scotland a year or so later when he was up there working. They had never heard of them in the North West where we were at the time, so I was very popular in the office when brought some in!

Not sure if I could eat a whole one now, but I used to like the treat size ones.

I hope that the wispa does come back, then we can do the old George Michael joke.
