Aparently Polly Waffles are being discontinued.

I'm pretty unhappy about it, as I'm quite keen on chocolate covered waffle logs with Marshmallow in between.

It's a sign of the food / taste / brand homogenisation run by big corporates. Rather then have an Australian specific Polly Waffle production line which needs maintenance and probably only runs one day a month to meet demand (and requires appropriate setup), Nestle can spend more time producing crap arse Kit Kat flavours that they can export to Guam and Martinique - and run the produciton line at full tilt for 365 days a year.

A sad day for unique Australian confectionary.

Either that or it gives them something that they can 'bring back' twice a year to boost sales.

I've never eaten a Polly Waffle but they never seemed that awesome. I think it was the packaging that turned me off

mixmastermil · 25-Nov-09, 04:58pm

They are always stale though because no one eats them.
The last 2 or 3 pollys i have had were terrible like they had been sitting there for a few years.

No big loss

I've never seen anyone eat one in the last ten years.

In fact, I think I need to take a polly waffle now. brb

WHAT?!

Sad day indeed.

They were always a bit too full of air for my liking. If you're going to have a chocolate bar you might as well get more bang for your buck IMO.

Mickstah · 26-Nov-09, 03:03pm

I'm struggling to even remember wtf these are?

hatzornotahat · 26-Nov-09, 03:26pm

Belgian Waffle > Polly waffle imo

OMG!!! The polly waffle was one of the best inventions. Marshmallow, wafer and chocolate!! Sad indeed
