message: I went on holiday to England in June/July of 2005, and remember eating Aero there. Lots of it. I live in Australia btw, and we do have Aero here, but I remember eating it in England, therefore Aero is sold in England, so shouldnt the fact that you can buy it in England be added to the article? tpg1989 10:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article already talks about it being invented and sold in the UK. To add the fact that it is also sold in England would be like saying that Tim-Tams were invented and sold in Australia but they are also sold in Victoria. -- Derek Ross | Talk 17:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, but if someone goes straight to the "Where Aero is sold" section, it doesnt say UK or England in there at all. - tpg1989 05:44, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually that is a faulty syllogism. If it were only sold in Northern Ireland, it would be sold in the UK, but not in England. Similarly if it were sold only in NSW it would be sold in Australia but not in Victoria. Fortunately it is sold in all those places. SimonTrew (talk) 19:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: When Hershey made a similar bar, as noted in the article, it showed poor sales in the US. I remember trying it and was a good chocolate bar. Obviously not good enough to generate the kind of sales figures it needed to continue offering it. THX1136 (talk) 21:35, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

What is the copyright database? A short explanation and/or link would be useful. Loganberry (Talk) 00:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not Sold Everywhere In US Because it is Imported 

message: I don't think the dutch Bros bar is actually the same bar as Aero, since it's been in existence for 60 years or so and was only sold to Rowntree Mackintosh in the 1980's. It doesn't really look like the Aero bar either.
no it's the Dutch name for it. meanin brittle. obviously the dutch wiki doesnt say Aero
Actually, the Bros bar was originally produced by the Dutch company Bensdorp. However, when the company was bought by Unilever, Unilever sold the production machinery for Bros bars and the brand name 'Bros' to the British company Rowntree Mackintosh. Rowntree Mackintosh was later bought by Nestlé. The original Bros bar was different from the Aero bar in structure and ingredients, now it's the same. I think that originally, Nestlé sold the Bros bars (old recipe) as 'choco-lite'. Nestlé still uses the brand name Bros in the Netherlands for the Aero bar (with some consumers complaining that it's not the same as the old Bros bar). I'll dig up some sources, but as this unfolded before the heyday of internet, it requires some good old library work. 80.112.163.9 (talk) 11:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

message: There is a new shape aero bar that is more curved - I will see if I can get a picture or if anyone else has one post it.  The current picture of the chocolate is obsolete.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.17.248 (talk) 23:27, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
