So thats who you are!! No wonder you need that mask of yours. Shame on you.

I'm with Nini on this one. Aeros are far superior than the competition, although they are all eclipsed by my all time faves. Skittles. Wine Gums. Jelly babies. The later two I just love to suck on.

Good god you're both so utterly wrong about aeros. They're so much less refined than Wispas AND the chocolate's not nearly as lovely.

Wow, you are hardcore. I only ever suck'n'swallow, I've never bothered with refinement before. There is obviously a lot for me to learn in the confectionery sector.

By refinement I mean the coarseness of the bubbles, of course. Wispa sized bubbles are the way to go, much lovelier AND you get a better chocolate:air ratio.

I must admit to using the k-lock packaging system due to the novelness of it. although my flatmate did wonder "why i'd made my box go funny" whilst hers used in normal style tucking. Clearly she was unaware of the fabulous innovation. Either that or its a reflection on the fact she normally watches MTV with her breakfast whereas I read the boxes.

oh and STILL have not found a wispa in dundee. are they gone again?

I prefer Cadbury chololate's flavour but didn't enjoy the granularity of WIspa. I get the sense it was discovered accidentally when there was too much air in the mix. It's different - but not pleasant.

Aero, although a waxy Nestle concoction, is utterly redeemed by the Mint version - which tastes delicious after a cigarette on a cold day.

So there you go.

I like to suck too, but this isn't the time or place.

I'm with you, but I don't regard the green stuff as chocolate. It's lovely though.

Where are you looking? Our local HappyShopper on the road into town has only just started selling them, though, they do go via Bosnia and Lebanon though.

Happy Shopper still exists?! Are you posting from the early 90s?

They do, there's one in the roughest parts of Warrington (Dallam) and it looks like it's been unaltered since the early 1990's.

I think that's where I was coming from as to Aero being the superior bar. The mint Aero is a nice bar and chocolate can be something other than tones of brown or white or even an off-shade of yellowy brown reminiscent of your chainsmoking nan's teeth which the Caramac brought to the table. A whole civil war could be caused by Caramacs, I'm very certain of that.
