The new Wispa!
In August 2007, these campaigns prompted Cadbury to announce that the bar would be relaunched on October 8, 2007 for an initial limited production of 23 million bars, with a permanent return possible if sales are high enough. Predictions that the relaunched product would be marketed as Wispa Classic proved unfounded, and the new Wispa hit shelves in similar packaging to the original bar.

How are Wispa's made?
The tiny bubbles within the chocolate are formed by aerating the molten chocolate with gas, typically carbon dioxide or nitrogen while at a low pressure which causes microscopic gas bubbles to form within the liquid. The liquid is then brought up to atmospheric pressure as it cools, causing the gas pockets to expand and become trapped in the chocolate.

The Wispa Re-launch!
Since the discontinuation of the Wispa bar in 2003, several internet campaigns and an online petition to bring it back slowly gained momentum. On the 24 August 2007, the first box of the relaunched Wispas was put up for auction on Ebay, with a press release from Cadbury saying that the auction was real and that the proceeds (the winning bid was £195.00) were going toward the Cadbury Charity, Ghana for the Source.
