Tagline

Maybe a note can be added about the (current?) tagline "All bubble, no squeak" found on some wrappers - AKeen 06:29, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

It is sold in England

I went on holiday to England in June/July of 2005, and remember eating Aero there. Lots of it. I live in Australia btw, and we do have Aero here, but I remember eating it in England, therefore Aero is sold in England, so shouldnt the fact that you can buy it in England be added to the article? tpg1989 10:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

The article already talks about it being invented and sold in the UK. To add the fact that it is also sold in England would be like saying that Tim-Tams were invented and sold in Australia but they are also sold in Victoria. -- Derek Ross | Talk 17:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but if someone goes straight to the "Where Aero is sold" section, it doesnt say UK or England in there at all. - tpg1989 05:44, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually that is a faulty syllogism. If it were only sold in Northern Ireland, it would be sold in the UK, but not in England. Similarly if it were sold only in NSW it would be sold in Australia but not in Victoria. Fortunately it is sold in all those places. SimonTrew (talk) 19:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

United States

I just bought one an hour ago, and I live in the United States, meanining it is obviously sold here. --GorillazFanAdam 19:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, there you go. Best add the information to the article then. -- Derek Ross | Talk 19:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

how can we get this bar here in southeast US? I live in middlesboro kentucky and i wanna know where to buy this unique candy bar!

finally as of black friday 2009 i found both the mint and milk flavored aero at a Knoxville, Tennessee USA kroger... and Kroger imported em all the way from England!!! now lets go the extra mile and see if we can introduce the Aero as British candy that has become an American favorite (the only ones that are successful are Cadbury, Rolo, and Kit Kat hahaha)

If the United States will EVER have Aero... we side with the Brits when it comes to taste... one thing: don't tell the American public that Aero bars were made in the United Kingdom. if you do it'll turn off American people! just say... "it was made in the United States to a sweeter recipe!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harvey994 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

When Hershey made a similar bar, as noted in the article, it showed poor sales in the US. I remember trying it and was a good chocolate bar. Obviously not good enough to generate the kind of sales figures it needed to continue offering it. THX1136 (talk) 21:35, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Not Sold Everywhere In US Because it is Imported

According to the entry in the copyright database...

What is the copyright database? A short explanation and/or link would be useful. Loganberry (Talk) 00:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

It sounds like the person meant patent, not copyright. Copyright would be completely irrelevant in this situation. I'll search for patents and update if I find anything. Ithika 17:02, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Obviously it is sold in the U.S. if it is imported. I bet you paid like 2 or 3 dollars for it, am I right? That's to pay the costs of importing it. I know that Southern Seasons imports Aero bars and a ton of other international chocolate. There are probably also other stores who make you pay two or three times as much as it normally costs if it is bought in the country of origin because it is being imported.- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.211.151.123 (talk • contribs).

Whenever I go to Kroger, an Aero 1.6oz 46g (Milk or Mint) will cost ya $1.39 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harvey994 (talk • contribs) 09:18, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

$1.39 is the best price of an Aero. It is the typical price. Amazon and British import shops here in the US sell it as high as $2 for a 1.6oz 46g bar. Some places here in the US sell it for as low as $1.29... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.100.3.169 (talk) 04:03, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Bros=Aero?

I don't think the dutch Bros bar is actually the same bar as Aero, since it's been in existence for 60 years or so and was only sold to Rowntree Mackintosh in the 1980's. It doesn't really look like the Aero bar either.

no it's the Dutch name for it. meanin brittle. obviously the dutch wiki doesnt say Aero

Actually, the Bros bar was originally produced by the Dutch company Bensdorp. However, when the company was bought by Unilever, Unilever sold the production machinery for Bros bars and the brand name 'Bros' to the British company Rowntree Mackintosh. Rowntree Mackintosh was later bought by Nestlé. The original Bros bar was different from the Aero bar in structure and ingredients, now it's the same. I think that originally, Nestlé sold the Bros bars (old recipe) as 'choco-lite'. Nestlé still uses the brand name Bros in the Netherlands for the Aero bar (with some consumers complaining that it's not the same as the old Bros bar). I'll dig up some sources, but as this unfolded before the heyday of internet, it requires some good old library work. 80.112.163.9 (talk) 11:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Older US version

From the 1970s, we had Choco-Lite, from Nestle. same process.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:41, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I wonder if it was made via a license with Rowntree? THX1136 (talk) 21:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

New Shape Aero

There is a new shape aero bar that is more curved - I will see if I can get a picture or if anyone else has one post it. The current picture of the chocolate is obsolete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.17.248 (talk) 23:27, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I uploaded a couple pictures of the new bars. If you have anything better, feel free to replace them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HyperbolicSheet (talk • contribs) 23:30, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Germany

The German Aero chocolate bar is produced by a company unrelated to Nestle. 77.184.37.59 (talk) 19:04, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
