Time Out (chocolate bar)


Time Out is a brand of wafer-based chocolate bar originally manufactured by Cadbury Ireland and first introduced in 1992. Mainly sold in pairs, it consists of a ripple of milk chocolate between two wafers, smothered in Dairy Milk milk chocolate. The original Time Out bar was discontinued in 2016 and was replaced in Britain and Ireland by a re-branded single-bar version called Time Out Wafer. In Australia the original Time Out continues to be sold as “Twirl Crispy”.

History

The bar was sold in several countries around the world. It was introduced to Britain and Ireland in 1992, and then in Australia and New Zealand in 1995. The bar was originally sold under the slogan "the wafer break with a layer of Flake" and was called a "light snack" by Cadbury.
It was given a new look in 2010 with lighter blue packaging and was given a new slogan, "Everyone needs some Time Out", but shortly after reverted to the previously used dark-blue shade.
In February 2015, the company announced that production of Time Out would be transferred from Ireland to Poland. Sales of Time Out had been in decline for several years.
Due to declining sales, the original Time Out had been discontinued by 2016. In the British market, it was replaced with a single-bar version called Time Out Wafer that has more wafer and less chocolate than the original Time Out. The new version has since been renamed to simply Time Out.
