Aero without the Chocolate

Advantages: Fairly cheap, nice looking box, bubbly
Disadvantages: Not a great chocolate taste, nasty ingredients, difficult to find in shops

...I'd seen this advertised on TV quite a few times, and every time I did my big supermarket shop I would always have a look amongst the drinking chocolate/cocoa products but was never able to locate it. I would always ask several assistants at various supermarkets if they stocked it, and each time they would shake their heads and tell me that they didn't. Eventually, I gave up trying and continued to buy my Cadbury's Options. The only reason I wanted to try the Aero Drinking Chocolate is because (apart from good old Cadbury) Nestlé's Aero is the only other chocolate I like. I adore chocolate, including drinking chocolate, but it must be rich, sweet and full of chocolate taste, otherwise it doesn't really hit the spot. Anyway, a few weeks ago whilst I was in the tea/coffee aisle in Tesco, I spotted this stuff. There was a sign...

Review of Nestle Aero Chocolate

Our favourite hot chocolate Nestlé Aero

Advantages: creamy, chocolatey drink
Disadvantages: well it contains 99 calories per serving

...Nestlé Aero is one of the best hot chocolates I have ever drunk. I am a Cadbury chocolate fan but in my opinion Nestlé's Aero instant bubbly hot chocolate drink is better than Cadbury's. We buy it quite regularly, my elder son also likes it very much. What I like in a hot chocolate drink Most of all I like the milky chocolaty taste. Most of these hot chocolates 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 hot chocolate would cost quite much. Sure, I like it to be creamy, thick and dark as well. This hot chocolate was the first one that met all my requirements. What I don't like in a hot chocolate drink I don't like feeling that it was made...

Review of Aero Hot Chocolate

CHOCOLATE BAR WARS. THE SAGA CONTINUES ...

Advantages: In a crazy world of special editions & flavour variations this product stands out from the rest !
Disadvantages: A fear that one day they will be replaced, re-invented or retired (it happens) !!!

...and 1945) the "KIT KAT CHOCOLATE CRISP" . became an extremely popular product and was even portrayed by the Government as being the ideal food for active people during the war-time period !!! In 1945 the Second World War was over and "KIT KAT CHOCOLATE CRISP" changed from a red a white wrapper to a blue wrapper. This was to signify that the chocolate being used was no longer milk chocolate but plain chocolate (due to food shortages). However, by 1947 the food shortages had ended. Milk chocolate was once again widely available so the product was re-introduced with it's red and white packaging ... it was also re-named as simply being a "KIT KAT". Ten years later (in 1957) the "KIT KAT" was one of the very first products to be advertised on TV. In 1988 Rowntree's was taken over by Nestle and Kit Kats became their number one product...

Review of Nestlé Kit Kat White Chocolate

Have a Break, Have a (white chocolate) Kit Kat

Advantages: A lovely snack, a great alternative to the originalold favourite.
Disadvantages: None

...something I didn?t know ? so why not share these details. THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE HUMBLE KIT KAT Kit Kats are chocolate covered three layers of crème-filled wafer biscuits that come in a two finger and a four-finger bar, which are easily snapped into single fingers, they have been around for a very long time. Today Kit Kat are made by Nestle (and by Hershey in the US) Originally, Kit Kat was made by the Rowntree?s Company, which was a large chocolate factory in York. Interestingly they developed after a worker at the factory put a suggestion in the suggestion box for a snack that a 'man could have in his lunch box for work'. The four finger bar was brought out in September 1935 , under then name Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp, at the cost of price: 2d ( a fraction of a metric penny ) The two-finger version came out on May 15, 1936...

Review of Nestlé Kit Kat White Chocolate

Nestle Areo Instant Bubbly Hot Chocolate

Advantages: Makes you slep like a baby
Disadvantages: just tastes like any ordinary hot chocolate drink

...Nestle Aero Instant Bubbly Hot Chocolate Drink this drink is personally just like any other ordinary hot chocoate drink!.. In the drink it does have that same instinctive flavour that the chocolate ball or bars have. But any it is still a nice drink with lots of coca. If you have it before bed time with a little bit of milk it will make you sleep like a baby!. and make you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle lifes fun factors. Personally i have it with milk because it makes the chocholate alot more creamy and lucious. The Packets and jars are abit bit small and for the price it isnt really a bargain. Still a nice drink not to sure if i would recomend! ....

Review of Nestle Aero Instant Bubbly Hot Chocolate Drink

Hot chocolate? Hot air.

Advantages: Bubbles are a novelty
Disadvantages: Not very chocolaty, Nestle, Additives

...Usually I don't buy Nestle products on moral grounds, and as a general rule, any drink that puts "drink" at the end of what it is, is to be avoided. For example, "orange juice drink" is unlikely to ever have seen an orange. Still, wandering through my local Iceland, this was the only hot chocolate they had and it was cheap. = Taste I usually like my hot chocolate to be really chocolatey so this was a bit of a disappointment. It tastes like if you get regular hot chocolate but only put half a teaspoon of the powder in. I've tried using smaller mugs, and milk instead of water but it still tastes the same. You definately need to make it with water though because it's already really thick. (Well, you definately need to not make it at all) The texture is the worst thing really. It's quite thick, but instead of being...

Review of Nestle Aero Chocolate

Nestle desegregates the chocolate colours

Advantages: less sweet than the original milkybar
Disadvantages: doesn't use real chocolate

...means that this chocolate bar falls in at the higher end of the expense market. The wrapper is much the same as the Milkybar Chunky in that it is an all foil affair and not a paper and foil job like the original Milkybars. This does mean that you can?t colour in the wrapper but sacrifices are made daily. The right hand side of the wrapper is taken up by a blue banner with the word ?New? in large white letters. Underneath that there is a picture of a cube of the bar. The outside is clearly white chocolate while the inside is dark brown. Some of the ?mousse? is oozing out. Next to the cube are the words ?Choco mousse?. The left hand side of the wrapper has a splash of milk inside of which is the word ?Milkybar? in blue letters. Above the word ?Milkybar? is the Nestle slogan. The wrapper describes the bar as ?White chocolate...

Review of Nestle Milkybar Choco Mousse

Suck On My Chocolate Balls

Advantages: Nice and light, leave chocolate milkshake at the bottom of your bowl
Disadvantages: Probably not as healthy as other cereals.

...I have never really been one for eating breakfast but since starting my new job, and finding that sometimes I don?t have the time to pop out for something mid morning, I have started eating in the morning and my favourite cereal at the moment is Nestle Nesquik Chocolate Cereal. Packaging The box I have sat in front of me contains 375 grams. The design is the same as most cereal boxes ? a cardboard box with a plastic bag inside which contains the cereal. Once you have opened the bad, it remains open until it is finished as there is no way of re-sealing the bag, I tend to fold the corner over and put a peg on it to keep the cereal fresh. I would say that the design of the box is definitely aimed at children and Nestle occasionally have special offers such as free toys with the box of cereal. The box is bright yellow...

Review of Nestlé Nesquik Chocolate Cereal

When I picked up the wrong chocolate bar .........

Advantages: satisfied a craving
Disadvantages: Kind of sickly, that 'nestle' after-taste

...This is the first food review I've done, so I'm not too sure how well its going to go. While in Sainsbury's earlier this evening I went to chose a chocolate bar. I though I'd picked up the Aero Caramel bar, but seem to have grabbed the Aero Chocolate Truffle one instead. It's probably worth saying that it isn't the same as the bar pictured by Ciao, it's only about half that size. I believe it cost me around 49p, but I'm not entirely sure. The packaging tells me that it is 'new' and that it is Aero with chocolate truffle (probably should have been a give-away sooner that it wasn't caramel!!) The front of the wrapper also kindly informs me that this bar (no weight is given) has 231 calories, and there is further 'nutritional' information on the back, along with the usual - best before date, Nestle contact details, and 'recycle this...

Review of Nestle Aero Chocolate Truffle

~ Nestlē's 'Berry Addictive' chocolate ~

Advantages: tasty, tangy, quality product
Disadvantages: easy to eat a whole bar in one go

...In front of me I have an unopened 125 g bar of Nestle Double Berry chocolate. ~8~ The packaging ~8~ It's a nice bright and eye-catching wrapper, not really what you expect for a bar of chocolate, the lower section is a bright pinky red with the words Double Berry in a contrasting cream script. The upper section of the wrapper contains on the left the Nestlē name written not-quite-white, within a red heart. To the right, almost hidden because they're written in dark cream, are the words "chocolate matters". Beneath these words is a cluster of raspberries and blackcurrants and a picture of three chunks of white chocolate with something bright red in it ~ is this the fruit? Written in tiny words beneath the name of the bar is the secret "Raspberry and Blackcurrant pieces encased in delicious white chocolate". ~8~ Why I...
