Cadbury's Wispa

OFFICIAL SNACK REPORT
Sanctioned By WASAW Snack Committee

Reviewed By: Paddy O' Poppycock

Location: England

OFFICIAL NAME OF SNACK:
Cadbury's Wispa

SNACK LOOKS LIKE:
Tall chocolate bar with millions of little bubbles hidden inside. (Think tall AERO Bar, with smaller air bubbles.)

SSI RATING (SNACK SATISFACTION INDEX - 1-10): 10

 

UPSIDE:

This is just a magical candybar. It really is... You're forced to take tiny bites, and then let your mouth be filled with its silky, chocolately goodness. The air bubbles really give this poreous bar an extra bit of eating enjoyment. The only thing that could be better is a Wispa with a layer of golden caramel near the bottom... which, I'm happy to say, exists. (Wispa Gold).

DOWNSIDE:

Not readily available in the United States. And if you do find one (in specialty stores), it'll cost you. But it's worth it.

September 1st update: Wispa was pulled off the market by Cadbury in 2003, and thought to be gone forever. Fortunately, an online movement has successfully brought the Wispa back.

1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:

We've lost the wrapper, and so the ingredients shall remain a mystery for now. If I had to guess, though, the first four ingredients would be: love, magic, milk chocolate, more love.

LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:

See 1st 4 ingredients.

PACKAGING:

I spent a semester in London back in 1992. I ate at least one Wispa every day for three months. And the packaging was a major reason why -- that rich blue color with the red letters that really pop followed me throughout any store I stopped in.

DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

Get your ass on a British Airways flight tonight. It's worth it.

WHICH SOUTH PARK CHARACTER WOULD LIKE IT BEST?:

Pip, of course.
