There\u2019s no devastation quite like realising your favourite chocolate bar <\/a>has been discontinued <\/a>forever. And for the most loyal fans, a dupe just won\u2019t do.<\/p>\n

Now, the British public has spoken on the long-lost pick it wants to see return to shelves \u2013 and it\u2019s a creamy, minty treat that hasn\u2019t been seen in more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

A beloved (former) member of the Cadbury <\/a>family, the Wispa Mint first hit shelves in 1995 \u2013 and though it was discontinued back in 2003, chocolate <\/a>lovers have never quite forgotten it.<\/p>\n

Surveying 2,000 people across the UK, new research has concluded that the minty twist on the classic Wispa came out on top, as more than 1 in 5 (22%) said it was the long-lost chocolate bar they\u2019d most like to see return.<\/p>\n

Cadbury has been known to experiment with its Wispa bar \u2013 but it hasn\u2019t always been a smooth ride.<\/p>\n

20 years after it first launched, in 2003, the Wispa brand was briefly discontinued and rebranded as the Dairy Milk Bubbly.<\/p>\n

But after uproar from fans, which included a dedicated online campaign, it returned to shops permanently in 2008.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Wispa has taken many forms, including orange, strawberry, Wispaccino, and of course, the long-reigning Gold.<\/p>\n

In second place was Caramac, which was discontinued in 2023 after 64 years, while 1 in 5 (18%) still miss the Cadbury Dream, which was discontinued back in 2002.<\/p>\n

Shoppers previously went wild after it was briefly spotted in B&M<\/a>, but now, the only UK alternative is the Cadbury White (launched in 2019). And if you happen to find yourself in Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, the elusive Dream is still sold there.<\/p>\n

A sweet combination of milk chocolate and white, the Cadbury Marble was selected by 16% of respondents to the Smooth Spins Casino<\/a> survey, having disappeared from shelves back in 2012. In joint fourth was also the nostalgic Orange Crunchie, a tangy version of the honeycomb classic.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that chocolate fiends have long been lusting for the Wispa Mint\u2019s return. Over on the r\/CasualUK Subreddit<\/a>, @Gueld recalled the sweet snack being their \u2018go to\u2019 chocolate back in the day \u2013 even going as far as to label it \u2018far superior to an Aero.\u2019<\/p>\n

@Loose_beef felt that Wispas in general are a \u2018criminally underrated\u2019 choice, while @ChrisRR called for the return of the Mint classic, labelling even the highly esteemed Wispa Gold \u2018s*** by comparison.\u2019 Bold words.<\/p>\n

@charlotteypants has always felt they were \u2018epic\u2019 \u2013 and continues to \u2018mourn\u2019 the loss to this day.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, @Yachting-Mishaps<\/a> wondered whether the Wispa Mint \u2018needs to exist in a world that already has Mint Aero.\u2019 By way of reply, @iwasfeelingallfloopy reckons that the flavour in the Wispa was \u2018different (i.e. better)\u2019 and \u2018more of a creamy layer.\u2019<\/p>\n

Though Cadbury hasn\u2019t confirmed any plans to revive the Wispa Mint, there are plenty of success stories where chocolate brands have decided to give previously axed favourites another go.<\/p>\n

First launched in 2003, White Chocolate Maltesers<\/a> were a fan favourite before being discontinued in 2014. People spent more than a decade begging for their return, and in June, those prayers were finally answered as the treat returned to shelves.<\/p>\n

    And, after Mars admitted that it \u2018made a mistake\u2019 and an online petition totalling more than 8,600 signatures, the Milky Way Crispy Rolls<\/a> made a comeback earlier this year.<\/p>\n

    A milk chocolate-covered wafer biscuit finger, inside, it\u2019s filled with light whip, and has been dubbed \u2018god\u2019s gift\u2019 and the \u2018best chocolate bar ever\u2019 by doting fans.<\/p>\n
