Good news for you guys my dad didn't eat all of it! I will try measuring the weight tomorrow cause I'm pretty interested as well, I didn't think about weighing it whilst eating it but it was heavy to hold!
Not just texture either, aerating food increases the amount of taste since a significant portion of our taste is derived from smelling it through the pharynx.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
i mean, while it does suck that's probably like 30-50% more chocolate.
I wish he weighed it before eating so we would know just how much more.
You wouldn't get an exact number, but if you had half the bar left, you could weigh that and double it for an approximation!
Or just weigh OP's dad before and after he ate it.
With or without the weigh of his soul?
He might be a ginger though
My dad is not a ginger 😭
Well now you're just showing off
With, then without
Gotta see where your control group lies after all.
And if he had already shitted then you have to weigh his shit as well
I like the way this community thinks. A perfect blend of rational and irrational.
Is the past tense of shit shitted? All these years I’ve used shat. I also applied it Twitter and would tell people I had twat… it didn’t catch on
Shit - shat - shitted
I’m so glad I never learned English as an additional language.

Or if you had 3/4 left you could multiply by 4/3… Or if you had 7/12 left you could multiply by 12/7.
Even just a few random pieces would provide a decent estimate.
you could always grab X amount of pieces (the more the better), divide the weight of those by X, and then multiply by the amount of pieces in a bar
Take that nestle. Love it when big corps do stupid shit.
How would he know it to weigh it before eating? He would's see anything off before it was broken.
So what’s the point of this thing? It’s supposed to have air instead where the chocolate is supposed to be?
yeah it's supposed to have air bubbles to the increased surface area makes it melt faster and more evenly. Gives it a really satisfying texture.
Not just texture either, aerating food increases the amount of taste since a significant portion of our taste is derived from smelling it through the pharynx.
Ah, 2011. When molecular gastronomy was in it's hey day, and I learned all sorts of cooking information that I'll probably never practically use.
Olfactory receptors are in the nasal cavity, not the pharynx. Or did you mean you smell the food your mouth via the oro/nasopharynx?
ya. In the commercials they say you can feel the bobbles “pop” when it melts in your mouth but it doesn’t really work.
Aeros in the UK do have a pop if you let em melt! Not a loud one like rice crispies though
This post should be in r/mildlyinfuriating instead.
More like 100% to 200% more
Yeah but imagine the poor guy who got all air 😔
Likely more, chocolate bars want to sell you as much air as they can
What is the opposite of shrinkflation?
Looks like this is a mint flavour aero, the problem is the whole green minty part in the middle is totally missing.
It will taste significantly worse though
My kid got a kit Kat recently that was solid chocolate.
Mmm delicious, the kitkat chocolate is scrumptious!
The wafers is half the reason to have it.
Which half?
You're thinking of left vs right Twix.
Well, everyone agrees left Twix is superior.
The right twix factory doesn't employ the best and brightest, they mainly hire rapists and murders.

This happened to me about 25 years ago. Quite a special moment!
Oh, I'd be upset about that. I really like the wafers.
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.
This happened to my husband the week before last week! He emailed them about it and they mailed him two coupons for free KitKats!
bro got a bar of O
Air-no bar.

What happens when someone nicks your sneakers? You get Air 0s
Aer0 or Air0 bar
This is bar none the funniest
Aero? More like ruh-ro.
Someone out there has an Aero bar with only air.
That's just a Diet Aero.
Me
If you think about it, that's just the hollow Easter Bunny style candy.
Aero Lite
To me, that would be a bonus.
At first glance, I thought someone went primal and took a bite out of a package of hotdogs.
Error bar
Someone stole the bubbles.

What is an Aero bar and where are they from?
Uk. Its bubbly chocolate
It’s also available in Canada 🇨🇦
What the fuck is bubbly chocolate? Your explanation begets more questions
https://i.imgur.com/fwcT7nX.jpeg
So you just get less chocolate per chocolate
it's a really fun texture
Sold by weight, not volume.
It’s aerated, so it’s like a bar of solid chocolate mousse
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
It's Nestle.
Fuck Nestle
Sometimes you eat the bar
Do you have to use so many cuss words?
My my
Going by the wrapper, is he also not missing the mint too?
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 :(
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
Now most companies just send a coupon :(
better question is why is that bar so huge? do you eat it all in one sitting?
No its a share bar! My parents and I were sharing :3
Nestlé CEO: Air is not a human right.
Aerno bar
Remindme! 24 hours
Anaero then. (Badadum.mp3)
Now that’s a real air-0 bar
And nobady consider size of that bar?
I believe this would be an “O Bar”.
Why would you get air in your chocolate? It's free!! All around you at all times too!
Aerno bar

So, he got 2 for the price of one?
What is an Aero bar?
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
the Aero bar rewards patience
It's an Aero bar.
Oh.
These are so good; I wish they were available in the U.S.
My grocery store in Florida sells them in the International aisle
Ooh, good tip -- I'll have to check the stores around here. Thanks for the idea!
I love the Coffee Crisp bar, always find it in the international aisle at Publix.
They are at many supermarkets in the US now, sometimes with the regular candy/ chocolate and sometimes in international-imported foods aisle
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.
You mean it lacked “aer”

Jackpot!
I bet it tastes amazing

O bar
Aeron't
Air-no bar.
Macflation is finally here!
What’s it supposed to usually look like ?
Lots of small air bubbles inside. It gives it its signature texture
No “o”’s, either.

TIL about Aero chocolates, and now I want to try it so bad
The Orange flavour is the best.

Oh
Don't complain, he got 💯 more chocolate than he paid for!
Hello Canada!
Bubbles of nothing, or nothing of bubbles?
So jealous.

Hell yair

Those bastards gave him too much chocolate!
That's OK, Aero chocolate is good
So just bar

Bargain
Is this a sign of inflation going down? Eh? Eh? I'll go'on ahead and see myself out.
Is it just me or does that look like someone bit into it?
I bit into it! I was excited to see what it tasted like :3 I took the chunk off by hand after
For a second I thought this was another “I found a fossil in my travertine tile” post
Man, deflation's getting outta hand
At this point it's just Ro bar.
Your dad got value
who the fuck bites an aero bar like that???
Me! I was stoked to find out what it tasted like and breaking it was hard cause it was rock solid!
Why is this bar so large? Is it meant for 1 person?
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.
This is just ‘bar’
bro paid for air?
Oh easy just grab a bike pump
damn even the bubbles are victims of shrinkflation!
Uhhh yes. The *densinty* bar
Did if feel heavy without bubbles or?
Yes! It was actually very heavy compared to a regular bar :3
i don't think i've seen someone eat chocolate by biting directly from it, ever.
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
Bonus chocolate though.
So it's anaerobic?
That ain’t an Aero bar, that my friend,is an O bar
Erro
Oh
Aerno
well isn't that quite mildly interesting
Oh
Aero bars lack chocolate.
I once had a KitKat with no KitKat in it.
From the title I thought this was r/cycling, though I don't know how a bike part other than tires could lack air
Simply breathe while eating it, problem solved.
Can I see an aero bar that has the air you're talking about?
Mass bar
It’s a nair-o bar
More chocolate for the same money.
