The company was later acquired by Rowntree's, a British confectionery company, which was subsequently taken over by Nestlé in 1988. Under Nestlé's ownership, the Polly Waffle continued to be a popular snack in Australia until its discontinuation in 2009. However, in 2019, it was announced that the Polly Waffle would be making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of Australian confectionery company Robert Menz.
