Parrothead Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The commercial was for Hershey's new candy bar - Air Delight. They've pumped it full of air bubbles. Essentially now we get to pay for air in our candy and it is cool to do so. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MominIN Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I always thought that about the whipped yogurt. You're just getting less yogurt ... and lots of air!! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You can get Aero bars at Cost Plus World Market here. LOOOOOVE them (even if, yes, they look like chocolate bone marrow. :lol: ) The mint is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Reminds me of the ChocoLite bar from the 1970s: http://www.inthe70s.com/food/chocolitecandybar0.shtml I think I must have had an Aero when I visited Ireland - I remember thinking wow this is like the old ChocoLites and I can't get this at home.... I like the bubbles because of how quickly the chocolate seems to melt in my mouth ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm not a fan of Aero, but I certainly wouldn't mind a US version of Coffee Crisp.

It depends on how you look at it. My experience with these is that the texture of the chocolate is very much changed. I would be happy to pay more per oz of chocolate to experience that light melty texture. When I buy one (and I will !), I won't feel tricked. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Reminds me of the ChocoLite bar from the 1970s: http://www.inthe70s.com/food/chocolitecandybar0.shtml I had totally forgotten about this candy bar! Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane :). I will have to try one of the new Hershey bars to see if it tastes like ChocoLite -- or what I remember ChocoLite tasting like, anyway!

Two other candies I can think of that are made by changing the texture of sugar are sponge candy and cotton candy. Sure, I could just pour sugar in my mouth but it wouldn't be the same as cotton candy or sponge candy! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 My dd loves the new Air Delight bar and the air delight kisses and I have to agree. The bubbles give it a wonderful mouth feel. Of course, Choco-lite was one of my favorites back in the 70s too. If you'll feel ripped off, skip it. If you don't mind paying a bit more for a treat, give it a try! They're delish!

PeacefulChaos Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Funny story about that... we were in NYC and a friend of mine bought some of that stuff at the Hershey's store. When they opened it and tried it, they were like, 'What the heck??? This stuff sucks!' It was quite humorous. I was like, what did you think it was going to be??? o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I can google coffee crisps, but what are Canadian smarties if they are not the same as smarties here? They're candy-coated chocolate, similar to M&M's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizaG Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I was under the impression that Aero bars weighed the same as plain chocolate bars -- they were just puffier. But maybe I'm misremembering. In any case, Crunchie beats Aero hands down. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WishboneDawn Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It's not a marketing scheme. It's like Aero but also Mirage (which I prefer). I can't believe how deprived you Americans are!
