By Geoffrey Tim
July 13, 2018 - 7 years ago

Anyway, the point of this is that I miss Tempo, and I really, really hope that Cadbury brings it back one day. If not, there’s at least the Dairy Milk 5Star slab keep my sporadic sweet tooth sated. Now along with Tempo, what other foods, snacks and confections do you wish they’d bring back?
