Great Chocolaty News

Yes that’s right; it’s a Great Chocolaty Time to be a fan of Chocolate

During the summer while I was at Roothill I did a talk on how Chocolate was better in the 90’s. It tasted better and it did not constantly ram in your face the fact that they “had no artificial flavours and colourings”. I also managed to get most of the audience to shout TUBES when I mentioned that Smarties used to come in a Tube.  These days the Cadbury Caramel is not as good as it used to be and some of the greatest Chocolate bars in the world no longer exist. Well, now they are making a comeback.

When I was younger my Mam recorded Ebirah, Horror of the Deep for me and during the advert breaks there was this advert with Griff Rhys Jones and Griff Rhys Jones talking to each other and mentioned a Caramel Putting In Machine. Well after so many great years of Chocolatey Greatness the Wispa Gold (and the Wispa Mint) suddenly disappeared. Then a few years ago the Wispa returned but the Wispa Gold (and the Wispa Mint) did not. If you were going to bring back the Wispa why not bring back the Gold (and the Mint). Well this year after so many years of no Wispa Gold (and “NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURS AND COLOURINGS” over and over and over and over and over again) The Wispa Gold has returned. One of the greatest Chocolate Bars of all time has returned and not only that, one of the greatest Ice-Creams has returned.

When McDonalds released the Mcflurry about 10/11 years ago every year there was special editions and the best one was the Caramel Mcflurry. It was released as a special edition 2 years in a row but then it was not done again. This past week I discovered that the Caramel Mcflurry returned.

Now with this momentous occasion, a couple of questions get brought up. Will there finally be a Wispa Gold Mcflurry and with the Return of the Wispa Gold, will the Wispa Mint comeback as well? Well who knows but for the time being it is a great Chocolaty time to be a fan of Chocolate.
