yes wispa bars are back and back for good i,ve had 2 this week already  
this was the aquarterof website is saying
Whatever Happened To
Wispa?
Born in the 1980's, 20 years later they were gone. Cadburys brought them back for a (very) limited run in 2007.
And they are coming back for good in September 2008... hurrah | |

Posted: 10/1/2008 10:44:33 AM | This is a very boring fact and if you hate boring facts stop reading.....those that are left, all one of you! Wispas was advertised by smith and Jones and you must all remember the adverts of them talking! It was just random rubbish and was for a few weeks before they came out, and when they were launched the whole run was gone in days and it is considered the most succesful brittish tv advert.
Personally my favourite is Rhubarb and custard but old fashioned style and you just can't get them anywhere, really annoying! | |

The Little Sweetie Shop in Henley on Thames (closed in September, sadly) was brilliant for sourcing old fashioned sweets but even they didn't stock blackcurrant eclairs. | |
