The mysteries of Roman concrete and ‘true’ Damascus steel have long puzzled modern man. Now, an Australian business has revealed another lost technology: the Polly Waffle chocolate bar.
South Australian confectioners Menz, which acquired the rights to the Polly Waffle chocolate in 2019, has confirmed the sweet treat will return to supermarket shelves on Friday in a new format.
Dubbed Polly Waffle Bites, they will take the form of small, spherical chocolates, superseding the chocolate bar produced by Nestle until 2009.
Taking to social media last month, Menz CEO Phil Sims said difficulties in creating an old-school version of Polly Waffle contributed to the new ball format.
