Wispa Mint is the retro snack people most want to see back on shelves

Earlier in the month the news broke that Cadbury is bringing back its Bournville Old Jamaica chocolate bars in 2020.

After we posted about the revival on our Facebook page, you lot took to the comments to tell us which retro chocolate bars you’d like to see return.

We trawled through your responses and there was a clear winner, the Cadbury Spira bar – although the country as a whole doesn’t seem to agree with you all.

It turns out the Spira isn’t as popular as you’d think, at least according to this list of 35 retro chocolate bars, crisps and drinks that people in the UK want back.

In October last year, GalaBingo asked more than 2,000 people across the nation which vintage snacks they would like to see return to shelves, and there’s some absolute classics missing.
