Mason, Tania (16 November 2000). "Nestle halts Aero 'Stuff Xmas' bar after Church call". Marketing. p.1. Aero is an aerated chocolate bar manufactured by the Vevey-based company Nestlé. Originally produced by Rowntree's, Aero bars were introduced in 1935 to the North of England as the "new chocolate". [1] By the end of that year, it had proved sufficiently popular with consumers that sales were extended throughout the United Kingdom. In July 2001, presenter Davina McCall accidentally promoted Aero during a live eviction episode of Big Brother UK. She highlighted crowd banners that stated, "Hats Off To The Bubble," mistakenly thinking that they were about evictee Paul "Bubble" Ferguson. It turned out that they were advertisements for the chocolate bar. [57]

Aero bars were produced in Australia from the early 1970s until 1996. [19] From 1996, the Aero bar was produced in Britain. [20] In 2011, Nestlé recommenced manufacturing Aero bars in Australia at their Campbellfield factory in Victoria, with a capacity of up to 1000 tonnes per year. The bars had a different formula for Australian tastes with a smoother, creamier taste. The Aero bars sold in Britain would retain the older recipe. [21] Last year, Nestlé released its first in six years Aero TV advert showing chocolate bubbles being made with brass ‘big band’ music. The star of the film is the ‘Bubblophone’, an ingenious invention that reveals how Aero might pump uplifting music into chocolate to create their deliciously bubbly bubbles. Watch the advert here.

In Germany, the brand Aero is owned by German chocolate brand Trumpf. Unlike the Nestlé Aero bars, the Trumpf Aero bars are solid white or milk chocolate, foamed up with carbon dioxide, and have no filling; the inside also has a different texture.

The milk chocolate variation, launched in the 1970s, became an instant classic. 2019 saw the addition of Aero Bliss to this illustrious lineage, bringing more ways for you to enjoy the unique Aero experience.
