I thought they were back for good now, so you should be able to buy them whenever you want.

48 per box.

45p per bar in Sainsburys, not sure about Asda.

There's a guy on ebay selling them at 99p each, and another one selling boxes of 48 for £29 incl postage so that's 60.4p each, why on earth would you not just go to Sainsburys and get them for 45p.

Even if the 99p guy manages to sell a whole box of 48 he's going to make about £10 after paypal and listing fees, how can it possibly be worth the time and effort posting out 48 bars for just £10? Madness!
Certainly looked like "madness" to me. But A LOT of people looked like they were deadly serious.

I don't know how many boxes per pallet (several hundred, at least), and I saw a fresh pallet, just wheeled into position, 5 foot high, stripped-to-the-floor in 60 seconds.

At the cigarette kiosk, they had them on-sale individually, but the girl trying to stock the display couldn't do so, because people were taking all the boxes off her roll-cage, and barging her out-of-the-way.

Maybe if they're successful they'll be brought back like the normal Wispas have with any hope.

Wispa, Gold, Mint, Bite all of them were so nice. Better then the sh*t they sell us now. At least when Wispa came out last time it tasted the same as the originals.

Finally, a date, think 24hr stores will start selling them at midnight? Or will we have to camp outside shops until the morning?

You wouldn't need to freeze it if they are sealed would you? I'm sure they'd last way past the best-before date.

I have had a few already.

Sainsbury's have had them for a couple of weeks now and I also got some from a petrol station.


Nice!

I bought 6 today. Love Wispas they are without a doubt the best.

When Mintsm Bites etc are back I'm buying as many as I can to stock up as they are meant to be limited edition.

Soo glad that they are back.. and 'proper' wispas too, not the semi-aero attempt they brought back last year... was very disapointing

Wispa's rule. Aeros suck

Have one of each and you'll see Wispa is so much nicer.

I like Aeros but I'm sure they used to be different when I was younger, the bars are flatter or summat now. They used to just come in normal bar form (same shape/size as Wispas), now they only come in blocks.
Aeros have bigger bubbles. Wispas = lush. Death to Dairy Milk Bubbly!

I'm glad they're finally back! I ate one the other day! It hasn't changed much but I also heard McDonalds are doing Wispa McFlurry as well. Haven't tried that one yet as I don't go into McD's much but next time I'm in there I'll give one a try!
