==SIZES AND AVAILABILTY==
My jar cost £2.17 from the The Co-operative Food, but it is sometimes on special offer. This jar contains approximately 12 servings, but it's not something that I drink every day. I also believe that it comes in packs of four sachets as well though I haven't seen those for a while now, ... ...them.
You can also buy the 1kg tub from office supplies companies such as Viking Direct , which I understand is the Foodservice version which only comes in the chocolate variety. Viking Direct (Personal) currently sells the 1kg tub for £8.49. This will give you around 30 servings using the scoop provided.
I have only seen the mint and orange flavours in the 288 gram jars.
I've always loved hot chocolate drinks ever since I was a little girl. In the past I have found it a bit hit and miss with instant drinks as they have either been too sweet or watery for my liking. I have also been fond of Aero bars, and they remind me of my Grandmother as it was at her house where I had my first bar.
A few years ago while looking at the Viking Direct 'sale' catalogue I spotted the Aero hot chocolate drink and impressed with the description that it was creamy and bubbly so I ordered a 1kg tub. When it arrived as fast as it could be delivered, I made my first cup and I fell in love with this drink.
The drink now comes in three flavours, chocolate, mint, and orange which is the newest addition to the range.
PACKAGING
Aero Hot chocolate comes in a plastic screw top jar. It's easy to spot on the shelf as it looks like the jar is slightly squashed in the middle. The name Aero shows on a background consisting of bubbles as I would expect and a mug showing the bubbly hot drink in all its glory.
The chocolate flavour is on a brown background, mint is on a green background while the orange is, yes you guessed it, on an orange background. The lid on all three varieties is brown.
As you would expect the packaging lists the ingredients, the instructions, contact details, that it is made by Nestle and nutritional details. A typical serving contains 99 calories.
SIZES AND AVAILABILTY

I also believe that it comes in packs of four sachets as well though I haven't seen those for a while now, it might be that my local supermarket has stopped selling them.

SUITABILITY AND ALLERGIES
This product contains milk so not suitable for anyone avoiding dairy products.
The packaging states it is suitable for vegetarians.
MY OPINION
Being an instant drink, you just place four heaped teaspoons of the powder into your mug, and add hot (not boiling) water stirring all the time as you pour it in. Sometimes I add squirty cream and/or marshmallows on the top for added indulgence.
As I said earlier, I absolutely love this drink it is my favourite instant hot chocolate. My personal favourites are the chocolate and orange flavours. The chocolate version has a rich chocolatey flavour that is not too sweet, I didn't need to add any sugar to it. It is thick, creamy and very bubbly. It stays smooth right down to the bottom of the cup as well. When I am bad with monthly pains I sometimes go to bed with a mug of this as it is very comforting to drink, my wheatbag and put some soothing music on my iPod and it all helps.
The orange one tastes like a hot and bubbly version of Terrys Chocolate Orange. I have also tried the mint one, and yes I do like it - reminds me of Viscount biscuits - but I do find it a bit sickly if I drink too much of it, so I don't drink that one very often.
I highly recommend this as I think this is the best instant hot chocolate money can buy. Even if you've been put off in the past by watery drinks this is well worth a try.

Review of Nestle Aero Instant Bubbly Hot Chocolate Drink
Advantages: Really chocolatey taste, frothy Disadvantages: Not particularly low-cal, and high in sugar
Aero Hot Chocolate is an instant bubbly hot chocolate drink made by Nestle, the same people who make Aero chocolate bars. There have been many new 'chocolate bar' hot chocolate drinks appearing on supermarket shelves recently, and I have to admit I've probably tried them all, as I love a nice mug of chocolate. This Aero hot chocolate comes in either a box of 8 1 serving sachets, or a 12 serving jar, for £1.49 - £1.99 depending on where you buy it. ... ...money.
If you buy the sachets they come in a small cardboard box with pictures of bubbles all over it. Each sachet has the instructions on as well as the box, so you don't need to keep the box if you want to make space in your cupboards. To use them you just rip the top off the sachet and pour the contents into a mug. The jar is made of plastic and also has pictures of bubbles all over it, with a brown screw-on lid. If you buy the jar you have to ...

Advantages: A very easy simple hot drink. Disadvantages: None apart from the fact that you have to pay for it.
The normal offer of a drink is "Tea of Coffee?" - but as I just do not "do" Tea, the choice is a little limited. I therefore looked for an alternative, and I think I have found it in this hot chocolate drink. I must admit I was put off the idea at first, having memories of a muddy disgusting drink years ago, complete with the obligatory sediment in the bottom. Well times as they say, are a changing. You will find this particular drink, has a very ... ...very easily, and needs just hot water or hot milk ro make it, you are advised to use hot water but not boiling. The drink is ready after a quick stir, There is no dregs left in the bottom of the cup either. The drink is available in sachets, and in jars, but in my case I was given a "stick" of cups that I first thought were designed for a vending machine. There were eight cups, and according to the instructions, you open the bottom of the pack, yes ...

Advantages: creamy smooth taste Disadvantages: When you finish your mug!
I have always been a fan of hot chocolate. On a cold and wintry day theres nothing better then cuddling up with a mug of the stuff. While shopping I noticed that Aero's hot chocolate was on offer. After seeing the adverts I decided to give it a try as it looked yummy! The packaging is similar to that of the chocolate bars, its a deep chocolatey brown in a plastic pot with a picture of the bubbly hot chocolate on the front...from that picture my mouth ... ...hot chocolate to make a few scoops of the powder (which gives a sweet aroma of chocolate when the pot is opened) into your mug and then boil your kettle and pour into your mug, then stir well until all the chocolate powder is dissolved. I noticed straight away the bubbly froth which appeared on the top of my drink, it actualy looked like the one on the fron of the pot. Drinking it the froth is very bubbly and it feels like the aero chcolate does ...

Advantages: Can be made as strong or as weak as you'd like it to be Disadvantages: Doesn't last long if you have friends over as they all want some
Aero instant bubbly hot chocolate drink is made by Nestle. I have to confess that i'm not normally a fan of hot chocolate so would never have tried this if not for a friend who made me one after a night on the town. I tried it and am now the biggest fan of Aero hot chocolate...it is delicious! I went out the next day and bought a Jar that will make upto 12 servings. This is great as you can make it as strong or as weak as you'd like. They suggest ... ...a mug, I find this a little strong so i only use 3 teaspoons which means i'll get a few extra servings from the jar.
The flavour is quite subtle and not too strong. I love milk chocolate and this is definately the taste i get from this hot chocolate, there is none of the bitterness of dark chocolate. The texture is quite creamy, its advertised as a 'bubbly' drink and they don't lie as there is a definate lightness to it. Another fantastic thing ...

Advantages: delicious Disadvantages: associated with a less than delicious bar
I think I have tried every brand of drinking chocolate available and was not expecting much of Aero. After all, I am not crazy about the chocolate bar, full of holes as it is, but I was more than pleasantly surprised by the drink. Rich and thick, and yes, sweet. I require that in drinking chocolate. Only Galaxy is its equal, in my opinion and it is much nicer than Cadbury's.
I can't be fussing with milk pans so I get the instant variety. Price really ... ...you will pay up to two pounds and at the pound store, unsurprisingly, one!
You can get it in sachets, jars, and there is even a catering version, which means you do not even have to provide your own cup. There are plastic cups with the chocolate ready-measured into them.
The packaging is nothing special, in fact it is somewhat misleading, an enormous picture of choclate bubbles, leading you to think of a light drink without much texture. As with ...

Advantages: creamy, chocolatey drink Disadvantages: well it contains 99 calories per serving
NestléAero is one of the best hotchocolates I have ever drunk. I am a Cadbury chocolate fan but in my opinion Nestlé's Aeroinstantbubblyhotchocolatedrink is better than Cadbury's. We buy it quite regularly, my elder son also likes it very much.
What I like in a hotchocolatedrink
Most of all I like the milky chocolaty taste. Most of these hotchocolates are prepared with water, and in some cases you can feel the taste of water (sounds strange probably, but you can feel that it was prepared with water). I know, I can prepare it with milk, but as I have to buy lactose free milk a hotchocolate would cost quite much. Sure, I like it to be creamy, thick and dark as well. This hotchocolate was the first one that met all my requirements.
What I don't like in a hotchocolatedrink
I don't like feeling that it was made ...
