How can you have a walnut whip with no walnut?

[BAKERS DOZEN]

They still have one on top but the one inside has disappeared and the whole thing is a lot smaller than they used to be.

[paddywak]

You can't. Bite the top off and eat the nut,lick out the fondant,then finish off the choclate.Without the nut it's just another chocolate.

[aelmpvw]

does it say 'may contain nuts' on the packaging?

[Kathyan]

My sister was instrumental in getting the inside nut removed years ago after she found a maggot in one! They stopped putting them in shortly after that!

I suppose in the same way that you can have a bull whip with no cattle around.
Or indeed a cat o' nine tails in the Isle of Man.

nowt without the walnut..same with Toblerone.. been decimated..is nothing sacred ?

[Mamyalynne]

Just buy the ones that say Walnut on the packet - sorted.

[NoMercy]

A wal-not whip.

[donny48]

I expect nothing less from a Brodie girl.

[murraymints]

of courrrrrrse !

[Old_Geezer]

Excellent. They've removed the bit that spoilt it.

[Mamyalynne]

Not exactly - Nestle have brought out three new versions without Walnuts - giving the consumer more choice.

The original remains.

the answer seems to be that Walnut Whips will still have walnuts on top; ones without will just be Whips.
