Careless Wispa
 

Internet Forces Return Of 80s Icon

Cadbury is bringing back the Wispa bar in response to demand from internet campaigners.
The confectionery giant will re-launch the Eighties favourite in October for a limited period.
It comes four years after the Wispa was dropped because of declining sales.
The Birmingham-based chocolate firm said the comeback was a response to online petitions and campaigns on social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo.

Ahh, who care about Wispa? Only the Brits. Not me. I like American chocolate!

Oh, but how I wish an internet campaign would bring back my beloved Freakies cereal. Of all the cereals that tasted like Cap'n Crunch, Freakies was the best. Can I get a witness?

Better yet,




Could somebody get on this? I am terrible at Internet campaigns. Thank you in advance.

Sooooo

If you liked it because it tasted like Cap'n Crunch, couldn't you just buy Cap'n Crunch and save the capaign for something more important.




Like Boo Berry!

Good point, but then you can not get a Gargle magnet from a box of Cap'n Crunch.

Besides, I want Sir Grapefellow cereal and I want it now!

Get it done!

Dang Freakies only lasted 2 years - that was the lifetime of my childhood. Amazing what gets branded in our little minds in so little time.

Perhaps I can seek consolation in finding some internet personality test of what Freaky are you.

I can't remember most of the cereals I miss. But I miss having prizes in the box. Now the stupid Special K box says "the prize is inside" and it means inside of you. I want my prize in my box of cereal dammit!

You can usually get the whole Frankenberry, Count Chocula and Booberry trio during Halloweentime at Target. Hey, I think that is now! To coin Ghoulish Delight's phrase, it is Augtober.

I want to embroider this on a sampler, that's how funny it is. :snap:

You can do it!

Yep, everyone can learn a new dance today, courtesy of Pac-Man Cereal.

Ally, be sure the check out the other Pac Man cereal commercial--it's shocking! Shocking pink!

Can you get just the marshmallows? That'd be cool!

OK, you asked for it. Here it is.

According to the comments, Christian Bale might be in it.

Beware. There are more hideous white dance shoes.

Speaking of things from the past, does anyone remember Reggie Bars? They were good. :)

Yes, I believe that is definitely Christian Bale's voice at the end.

I remember a different jingle...There's Inky and Blinky and Pinky and Clyde. The marshmallow bits you'll find inside of PacMan, chomp, chomp delicious...

Hahaha!! Thank you!! It was total pink Heaven- especially the "shocking pink bow" (talk about lofty aspirations for a hair ornament. It's simply shocking!) :D

I wore lots of "shocking" lace hair bows in the 80's. Along with my stack of rubber bangles ala Like A Virgin. I bet the result was more Ms. Pacman than Madonna.

I'm almost sure that the hideous white dance shoes are the little known & secret 8th Original Sin. Good golly, those are heinous. The worst part? We all wore Capezio dance shoes in the 80's. And not to dance class, either. They looked pretty slammin' with lacy anklet socks. Oofah. :p
