January 28th: Aero Bubbles Peppermint

Kcal 193 Fat 12.3g Fat(sats) 10.8g

These were a pleasant surprise.
They wernt top of my list as most wanting to try as I thought they wouldn’t be substanstial enough but was I wrong!

The bubbles feel light in the pack but when emptied you get an awful lot of them.

In colour they are intresting with the green colour and smell wise they smell as they should...minty.

Texture wise they are similar to a flake if a little lighter; they have a real gradule melt on the tongue feeling and the taste is one of the better mint chocolates avalible.
Overall above all expectations - very nice and looking at its score is challenging for a place in the top 5 of Chocolate Mission

8.6 out of 10

Alan Sorry fella not quite sure what you mean ....

do you mean they have taken the mint variant away entirely!? or just the green colour from the actual product? I haven't seen the mint bubbles for ages now I come to think of it!

Jim

Alan said...

no no, lol theyre still mint (although you can buy the milk chocolate variety) but i noticed on one of those share pouches that they do they say that theyd taken away the green colour for some reason - so now you can't tell between the mint ones and the plain milk chocolate ones! lol

Alan that is completely and utterly ridiculous!! lol that's probably why I think I haven't seen the mint bubbles in such a long time! I will have a closer look next time I'm in the shops!!

Cheers for the explanation
Jim

i know - really wierd in my opinion - afetr all the normal mint aero bar is green centred lol what will they do next - all chocolate looking mint bars? lol

when you walk past them they look just like milk ones, i had to look twice and if you were offered one you'd not think it was mint!

you're welcome lol
cheers

Alan My guess is there were savings costs in removing the green from the packaging!?? God knows all a bit ridiculous if you ask me!!

I will scope this out next time i'm in the shops!!

Cheers
Jim

Alan great find again!! The advertising says it was for June 2006 ...so chances are its long gone!

You never know though - it could still be in production overseas somewhere!!

The great Aero hunt begins -

White Chocolate
Irish Creme
Orange
Truffle

...all on the hit list!!

Cheers
Jim

I have tried all of the ones you've listed ! :) I liked the orange one (I like orange chocolate anyway) the truffle was average compared to other truffle chocolate, the irish creme was sickly and not very nice at all really and the white chocolate was okay, not bad but not the best either. I wonder if they still do them all somewhere!

Jim's Chocolate Mission said...

Anon Good work! It sounds like there are definitely some I should prioritise over others!! As I was saying to Alan I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they are still be manufactured somewhere! Aero is like Kit Kat and is one of Nestles global brands!

If anyone can source these bars please do share!

Thanks
Jim

P.s. Please leave your name next time!! :)
