Title: My first Wispa Gold in six years!
Post by: smurfboy on September 08, 2009, 01:26:04 pm: Found them in WHSmiths on New St station last night :P Almost exactly as I remembered, if possibly a little sweeter (unusual for a caramel bar, huh?) Would have bought dozens but they were criminally expensive thanks to it being a station shop. But yay, they're back!

Will they bring back Wispa Mint do you think??

I'd say it all depends on how Gold does. I'd like to think they'd give it a try.

Post by: oldspice on September 09, 2009, 07:48:14 pm: I ate the bar last night an hour after dinner but i could only manage half of it. I put the rest in the fridge but don't fancy finishing it tonight. It was a bit sickly so maybe my tastes have changed with my increasing age as I used to like them.

Post by: smurfboy on September 10, 2009, 04:55:50 pm: I bought one for a colleague from South Africa who wasn't in the UK the first time round and I thought she was going to have an accident.

Post by: loulou on September 14, 2009, 11:29:09 pm: I enjoyed mine.

Post by: loulou on September 14, 2009, 11:31:22 pm: I forgot to say mine were 2 for £1 in Booze Buster . How much is everyone else paying?
Title: Re: My first Wispa Gold in six years!
Post by: chocadmin on September 15, 2009, 08:45:01 pm: I just grabbed a handful when I bought 'em :P
Title: Re: My first Wispa Gold in six years!
Post by: oldspice on September 16, 2009, 06:50:53 am: Mine were 60p each - which wasn't bad from a garage, I thought.

I went to see my team (Peterborough United) play Leicester City last night, as my daughter lives in Leicester. Whe I arrived at her flat before the game, she presented me with a Wispa Gold! The three of us shared it during the game.

It was a one-all draw - both goals from penalties. Very disappointing.

The cheapest I've seen is 65p, so this sounds like a good deal.

Post by: wjp666 on September 16, 2009, 06:16:20 pm: well, i just paid 64p for my first wispa gold since i can't remember... and hmm... pretty bland. i remember them being no much nicer. maybe it was the hype that ruined it for me. or maybe my memory of them has been tained. oh well.

Post by: smurfboy on September 17, 2009, 02:30:39 pm: Wilkinsons have them for 47p!!!

Post by: chocadmin on September 17, 2009, 05:34:10 pm: Last night I was thinking of just grabbing an outer from the Gold Rush display at Sainsbury's and legging it yelling "Ive got the gold, Ive got the gold!!!", but I was too tired :)

Post by: Forth Bridges on September 17, 2009, 05:59:41 pm: I have seen them for 46p, I believe it was Asda or the Caburys shop
