Title: Wispa bites
Post by: bethypoos on February 17, 2006, 08:22:57 pm

I HATE cadbury's for getting rid of wispas and the range. I saw a tv programme and apparently cadbury wanted to concentrate on the dairy milk range with different types because they could use the purple logo and when they're next to each other on the shelf it creates a dominant colour so customers are drawn to it!!!


Well -


Wispa's, and wispa bites specifically were the best. I'm quite into galaxy ripples now though, so may boycott cadbury!!!

I agree with you. Everyone is annoyed by the loss of Wispa. If they want everything purple why couldnt they just call it Dairy Milk Wispa and give it a purple wrapper?

Cheese costs far too much for what it is - rotten milk.

Its ok, but its not big & chunky enough, and the bubbles are smaller.

The CDM Bubbly is supposed to be the successor to Wispa, but I don't think it's as good - the bubbles are too big.  A Wispa's bubbles were tiny and melted deliciously in the mouth!

Shock horror - large corporation uses clever selling techniques! In other news, the shops close early on Sundays.

I agree, I HATE CADBURYS for discontinuing Wispas, at very least they could have put it in a purple wrapper and called it Cadburys Dairy Milk Wispa, that would just about do. But seriously, Cadbury have lost all the fantastic identities of their chocolate, the caramel with it's yellow and blue wrapper, and Wispa's Blue and red. I have NEVER eaten a dairy milk bubble out of protest, ok it might be wispa, but I don't want to eat it, it's the wrong shape and in segments, it should be fat and square.

Personally, i feel the whole Whispa removal is part of a broader communist plot to undermine public confidence in the food and drink industry.


Once this was achieved, the intention was for a complete range of 'no label' products to saturate the market (for want of a better word) and ruin our chocolate enjoyment forevor.  If you are as concerned about this disturbing trend as i am, please join me at Westminster Houses of Parliament this Saturday (28th July) to stage one almighty protest.  This is, surely the most important political issue in the world today.

Well, knowing what I do about the early communist objectives, I can well believe this. Do you know that, in the early days of the uprising in Soviet Russia, two of the aims were to abolish net curtains and flat irons because one was a symbol of bourgeois aspiration (curtains) and the other was a symbol of servant opression (flat irons).

Well I personally wouldn't mind seeing net curtains or irons abolished.  Though I do love muffins of all flavours with my decaff coffee.

Maybe if all these Wispa fans had bought a few more when they were available it wouldn't have been dropped!

A chocolate company wanting their chocolate to be the biggest selling chocolate? Whatever next!

You've heard the phrase "can't see the wood for the trees", haven't you?


Cadbury are guilty of this.


Have they increased their sales overall?

Big bars sell far better than singles these days, so I would imagine the increased emphasis on large CDM bars has done them a lot of good.

Abolishing net curtains is a brilliant idea!

But you can't spy on your neighbours if you haven't got net curtains to hide behind!!

Why on earth did Cadbury's have to get rid of Wispa Bites in 2003? This really does give me the emoticon  :(.
