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

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!
