When did this turn to a Whip, gutted no nut.

When I worked at Strategy, the floor around the Walnut Whip packing line was littered with discarded walnuts.

None of us liked the walnuts so I can only assume nobody else did.

Discriminated against those with nut allergies

Best bits the walnut... its the sickly whip and chocolate that wants chucking

There was a walnut in the bottom but they stopped putting it in years ago.

Yeah just what I was thinking, walnut whips....just love to whip off the nut then lick out the cream with my tongue....Very tasty.

Definately a process in eating one of those.
The nut had to be endured first to get it out of the way.
Then do the business on all the whip bit til it was clean.
Finally, the chocolate in at once and let it melt in the mouth.
Happy memories.

They stopped putting the walnut in the bottom years ago ? Another part of my childhood stolen ! I bet curly wurlys aren't a foot long any more either

Crap once they took the walnut out

A screwball, I doubt anyone is getting mixed up with that as it was an ice cream with chewing gum in the bottom. Definitely no walnuts....

yeah i was being slightly tongue in cheek.

M&S still put walnuts on the top of theirs.

The same way as the Brazil nut in purple Quality Street, probably too expensive.
YET, even though its been replaced by a Hazelnut, they still only have a tenth of purple QS, compared to every other colour.

Is this why they go rid of this classic?

The biggest loss in the chocolate bar world to me was the demise of the Aztec,my all time favourite so sadly missed.
