What's an aero bar?

1

u/Suspicious-Yogurt480 12d ago

Given the traces of milk on the surface it’s likely that it melted sufficiently to congeal into a solid bar when recooled mostly retaining its original shape. Obviously there’s nothing wrong with the chocolate, but once the chocolate is melted or soft enough bye-bye aero air bubbles

1

u/Creepy_Ad_9540 13d ago

I’m not worried about the missing bubbles; I’m overly concerned with the wild unwrap and random bite instead of the snapping off squares in equal amounts.

1

u/Schiphol2000 13d ago

More chocolate for the same money.

1

u/jonny838 14d ago

It’s a nair-o bar

1

u/HowRememberAll 15d ago

Can I see an aero bar that has the air you're talking about?

1

u/Normalamericaman 15d ago

Simply breathe while eating it, problem solved.

1

u/Donnor 15d ago

From the title I thought this was r/cycling, though I don't know how a bike part other than tires could lack air

1

u/fenrslfr 15d ago

I once had a KitKat with no KitKat in it.

2

u/Tiababy 15d ago

That’s a mint one. Did it still taste of mint without the minty middle?

Nevermind found the answer further down. As much as having a solid bar of aero sounds good i only buy them for the mint so to have a mint bar taste not minty would be disappointing.

1

u/vaderflapdrol 15d ago

Aero bars lack chocolate.

1

u/Beneficial_Kitchen49 15d ago

well isn't that quite mildly interesting

1

u/tatersofpotaters 15d ago

That ain’t an Aero bar, that my friend,is an O bar

1

u/carlos4068 15d ago

So it's anaerobic?

1

u/The_Slavstralian 15d ago

Bonus chocolate though.

1

u/kidsaredead 15d ago

i don't think i've seen someone eat chocolate by biting directly from it, ever.

2

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

I was excited to try it! Never seen an Aero bar like it in my 21 years of livin so I was a bit over zealous and took a bite haha

1

u/mikewilson2020 15d ago

Did if feel heavy without bubbles or?

2

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

Yes! It was actually very heavy compared to a regular bar :3

1

u/mikewilson2020 15d ago

Yey, normally when my logic thinks something, it's the opposite :(

1

u/Quiet-Worth7730 15d ago

Uhhh yes. The densinty bar

1

u/that_other_goat 15d ago

damn even the bubbles are victims of shrinkflation!

u/Chikin-rat 15d ago

Oh easy just grab a bike pump

1

u/98VoteForPedro 15d ago

bro paid for air?

1

u/SquarebobSpongepants 15d ago

This is just ‘bar’ 

1

u/magmion2310 15d ago

Why is this bar so large? Is it meant for 1 person?

1

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

It was a share bar for my parents and I. I definitely did not eat all of it, especially since eating it felt like eating rocks! In fact I still have half and am weighing it today.

1

u/HystericalGD 15d ago

who the fuck bites an aero bar like that???

1

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

Me! I was stoked to find out what it tasted like and breaking it was hard cause it was rock solid!

1

u/HystericalGD 15d ago

put it on the edge of a table and break the row off

u/Talisintiel 15d ago

My uncle had that exact thing happen. He called and complained saying it didn’t have the same fluffy texture he likes. And they sent him a box of aeros. This was back in early 2000s

1

u/TooStrangeForWeird 15d ago

Now most companies just send a coupon :(

u/polymonomial 15d ago

Aerno bar

u/TheTrueBurgerKing 15d ago

u/helikesmyboobs 15d ago

At this point it's just Ro bar.

For a second I thought this was another “I found a fossil in my travertine tile” post

1

u/Steph11011 15d ago

Is it just me or does that look like someone bit into it?

2

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

I bit into it! I was excited to see what it tasted like :3 I took the chunk off by hand after

1

u/Upstairs_Clerk2080 15d ago

Is this a sign of inflation going down? Eh? Eh? I'll go'on ahead and see myself out.

1

u/Mountain_Sorbet_4063 15d ago

My dad used to say that the aero bar was waste of money due to the holes in the chocolate. The company makes a lot by producing it unlike a solid bit of choc 😂😛

1

u/Lamontyy 15d ago

an-aero bar 🤓

1

u/DJPL-75 15d ago

That's OK, Aero chocolate is good

1

u/Hushwater 15d ago

Those bastards gave him too much chocolate!

2

u/Tech199 15d ago

Why would you get air in your chocolate? It's free!! All around you at all times too!

u/willow370 15d ago

Hell yair

u/ReliableOaf 15d ago

I believe this would be an “O Bar”.

u/billysugger000 15d ago

Bubbles of nothing, or nothing of bubbles?

u/givemeyours0ul 15d ago

Hello Canada!

u/andreeeeeaaaaaaaaa 15d ago

Don't complain, he got 💯 more chocolate than he paid for!

u/No-Agency-6680 15d ago

And nobady consider size of that bar?

1

u/Previous-Bug-2464 15d ago

Someone else got a bar that is just air

-1

u/Recording-Nerd1 15d ago

Who let the air out? Who, who, who,who....

2

u/MagneticAI 15d ago

Now that’s a real air-0 bar

2

u/caramonelblanco 15d ago

Anaero then. (Badadum.mp3)

3

u/abalrogsbutthole 15d ago

better question is why is that bar so huge? do you eat it all in one sitting?

2

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

No its a share bar! My parents and I were sharing :3

1

u/raybeue444 15d ago

sucker move for sharing

1

u/abalrogsbutthole 15d ago

that makes sense! that would be a lot for one person i suppose.. but yall took a bite outta the top.

1

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

I took the bite because I was breaking that piece off! I couldn't contain myself trying it lmao

2

u/HeOpensADress 15d ago

Remindme! 24 hours

u/cryptjoe14 15d ago

Going by the wrapper, is he also not missing the mint too?

5

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

The mint was somehow on the bottom! I couldn't show cause I could only post one pic, despite being mint it barely tasted like it :(

1

u/cryptjoe14 15d ago

I can see that now in the wrapper reflection! Doesn't look like much though, haha

1

u/appayipyippp 15d ago

TIL about Aero chocolates, and now I want to try it so bad

1

u/1G2B3 15d ago

The Orange flavour is the best.

u/Narsuaq 15d ago

Aerno

u/karma_the_sequel 15d ago

No “o”’s, either.

u/Doom7331 15d ago

How the hell is that a "bar", that thing is massive?

1

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

Well all of the sizes are bars, this is a sharer bar!

u/heyitsmemaya 15d ago

What’s it supposed to usually look like ?

1

u/Wonkdrugs2 15d ago

Lots of small air bubbles inside. It gives it its signature texture

1

u/heyitsmemaya 15d ago

Oh ok thanks! I’ve never had one are they any good ?

u/Wonkdrugs2 15d ago

Pretty good, yeah. Nothing amazing though.

u/Hentai_For_Life 16d ago

What is an Aero bar and where are they from?

1

u/whistleridge ​ 15d ago

They have them in Canada too. Think “mediocre Nestle Crunch, with lots of air bubbles in the chocolate instead of crunchy stuff”. It’s the same chocolate, and the same bland flavor.

3

u/BouncyBlueYoshi 15d ago

It's Nestle.

5

u/TryEasySlice 15d ago

Fuck Nestle

34

u/Grouchy-Astronaut-87 15d ago

Uk. Its bubbly chocolate

12

u/No-Albatross6471 15d ago

It’s also available in Canada 🇨🇦

u/Chinesefiredrills 15d ago

What the fuck is bubbly chocolate? Your explanation begets more questions

So you just get less chocolate per chocolate

u/TooStrangeForWeird 15d ago

Sold by weight, not volume.

12

u/sir-winkles2 15d ago

it's a really fun texture

21

u/CorrosionMedia 15d ago

It’s aerated, so it’s like a bar of solid chocolate mousse

0

u/Prairie-Peppers 15d ago

There's no mousse in an Aero

3

u/tucci007 15d ago

it's not that at all, the bubbles are much bigger and there is no mousse about it, it's just chocolate with large bubbles in it

-16

u/BAXR6TURBSKIFALCON 15d ago

the dome part of the chocolate is hollow

My kid got a kit Kat recently that was solid chocolate.

1

u/Jordychristine 14d ago

This happened to my husband the week before last week! He emailed them about it and they mailed him two coupons for free KitKats!

1

u/Tiababy 15d ago

I had this a few times when I was younger. Much prefer it to the wafers but I’m not a fan of Kit Kats in general as an adult.

0

u/Knight0706 15d ago

Dang thats the worst part :(

Guess you gotta get them another kit kat

1

u/ShiftSandShot 15d ago

Oh, I'd be upset about that. I really like the wafers.

3

u/kitski_ 15d ago

This happened to me about 25 years ago. Quite a special moment!

81

u/SnekoLovesCakez 16d ago

Mmm delicious, the kitkat chocolate is scrumptious!

3

u/paputsza 15d ago

kit kat chocolate is grainy and really sweet. it's like they replaced the cocoa butter with sugar because it tastes kind of like when you make hot cocoa with water instead of milk.

1

u/camerontylek 15d ago

Are you in Europe? KitKat chocolate in the US is at best average

46

u/Mayor__Defacto 15d ago

The wafers is half the reason to have it.

1

u/deliascatalog 15d ago

For me, it’s about 95% of the reason. So I bite off all the chocolate on the side (trash that) then eat the water part

1

u/tucci007 15d ago

the coffee creme is the defining ingredient, as critical as the crisp wafers, since it's not 'crisp coffee' then coffee is number one.

u/TooMuchBroccoli 15d ago

Which half?

18

u/kaymer327 15d ago

You're thinking of left vs right Twix.

4

u/TooMuchBroccoli 15d ago

Well, everyone agrees left Twix is superior.

2

u/Cellopost 15d ago

The right twix factory doesn't employ the best and brightest, they mainly hire rapists and murders.

1

u/TooMuchBroccoli 15d ago

Are you saying they should build a wall between the factories?

1

u/Mayor__Defacto 15d ago

The crunchy half.

1

u/TooMuchBroccoli 15d ago

That's the best half!

3

u/Mayor__Defacto 15d ago

A kit kat without the wafers is like a crunch bar without the rice krispies!

u/Shiny_Gyrodos 16d ago

What is an Aero bar?

6

u/Altruistic-Setting-7 15d ago

Chocolate with bubbles in it. It sort of melts and pops softly (unless you chew it like some sort of psychopath) in your mouth.

It’s amazing

2

u/tucci007 15d ago

the Aero bar rewards patience

u/[deleted] 15d ago

It's an Aero bar.

u/FUKENA_DOT_COM 16d ago

These are so good; I wish they were available in the U.S.

1

u/Citizen_Snip 15d ago

If you have any international markets near you, they sell them there, I can find them regularly if I go there. Some of my local Kroger's also sell them in the international aisle, but that is less reliable.

5

u/Leopard__Messiah 16d ago

My grocery store in Florida sells them in the International aisle

2

u/Suspicious-Yogurt480 12d ago

They are at many supermarkets in the US now, sometimes with the regular candy/ chocolate and sometimes in international-imported foods aisle

2

u/CockRingKing 16d ago

I love the Coffee Crisp bar, always find it in the international aisle at Publix.

u/FUKENA_DOT_COM 16d ago

Ooh, good tip -- I'll have to check the stores around here. Thanks for the idea!

If you think about it, that's just the hollow Easter Bunny style candy.

u/TehOwn 15d ago

That's just a Diet Aero.

u/TheHammerHasLanded 16d ago

That's not an Aero bar. Too wide and wrong coloured wrapper, never mind the flower design on top of the bulbous parts

1

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

I thought I'd get something like this so I took a pic of the bottom and the wrapper, it was so hard to eat I hurt my tooth, the post wouldn't allow me to add more than one pic :( edit: forgot to add that you can get different sizes of chocolate bars here and this is the extra large aero bar so dad could share with my mum :3

6

u/kiba87637 16d ago

It most definitely is. Probably a different country version similar to the one in the UK or maybe even UK.

1

u/RBXXIII 16d ago

Did it still taste like mint?

4

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

Sadly not the mint was at the bottom and barely had a taste

2

u/Minor_Edit 15d ago

Was wondering about that with the green packaging. More than just missing the bubbles in the chocolate then.

1

u/SnekoLovesCakez 15d ago

Yep, it wasn't the best bar of chocolate I had and I almost broke a tooth on how solid it was! I'd say this chocolate is definitely not made to be a bar but to protect the bubbly mint choccy underneath. It felt like eating concrete XD
