Mint Aero
I think I must have had a bad experience with Aero as a child. I have never particularly liked them, but I’m not entirely sure why. I assume I was once given one and expected the bubbles to be fizzy and I never quite got over the disappointment.
So, it was with some trepidation that I decided to try Mint Aero…
And I have to say, I’m still disappointed.
The mint bubbles taste a bit artificial and have a slightly strange aftertaste, and - more importantly - there’s just not enough chocolate! 1mm of chocolate does not make a satisfying chocsperience in my book…
Another minor annoyance is that despite being divided into handy chunks, the Mint Aero refuses to break along them, no matter how much I try. I find myself being showered with minty crumbles no matter how I try to eat it.
Having said all that, I did eat it all. But it wasn’t a totally satisfying experience. If you want minty chocolate, I suggest After Eights, and if you want bubbles, join my one man campaign to bring back Cadbury’s Wispa!

That is not a chocolate that has come over the pond, I don’t think….I can’t imagine that I’d be excited about any bubbles in my candy that aren’t pop rocks.
The whole thing makes me think of Calgon and bubble bath….is it meant to be like a crispy kind of thing rather than “fizzy?” Like a (US) Nestle Crunch?

OH MY GOD I LOVE WISPA.
It has been twenty years since I visited England on a summer vacation with my family and I still think about these things.
Bubbles in chocolate are fun because they make it sort of crumbly and soft - they give it an interesting texture.

But also - the internets tell me that there is a Cadbury bar with bubbles in it, named something innocuous about milk chocolate. Is that similar to the Wispa?

Does the Dairy Milk Bubbly not count as a Wispa? They’re essentially the same thing.

True that! I don’t remember much of the Wispa anyway so I’m not too bothered about it, but I hear that many people are.

I really like the Aero, just as I love my Flake. I actually like the mildness of the chocolate versus the overly sweet American chocolate.
Every time I go to Ireland, I always buy a case of Flake to bring home. Nothing quite like a 99 back in the Ole Country. now that I’ve tried Aero, I think I will need to ask some relatively to bring some back for me next trip they take.
