Wispa is a popular aerated milk chocolate bar that holds a significant place in British confectionery history. Originally launched by Cadbury in 1981 as a trial in North East England, it was rolled out nationally in 1983 to compete with Nestlé's Aero. The product is famous for its unique texture, created by aerating the chocolate during the cooling process to produce tiny, silk-like bubbles.

The brand has a loyal following; after being discontinued in 2003, a massive social media campaign led to its high-profile relaunch in 2007. This comeback is often cited as a milestone in consumer-driven brand revival. Today, the Wispa range has expanded to include various formats such as Wispa Gold (with caramel) and Wispa Biscuits.

While Cadbury is a quintessentially British brand with its heritage rooted in Bournville, Birmingham, it is currently owned by the American multinational Mondelēz International. The majority of Wispa production remains centered in the United Kingdom at the Bournville factory, though components and packaging may involve global supply chains. Mondelēz continues to manage the brand as part of its extensive global snacking portfolio.
