Yes, I'm sure many of you have all seen the commercial with the two ladies eating the
Aero Bar, repeatedly saying, "What is that?"?? "It's the bubbles," "Oh,
I love the bubbles!" " I love the bubbles," and on and on. But I think there's more behind
this
candy bar than we think.
I was first intrigued by the idea when I was eating an Aero Bar (and
surprisingly enough, the bubbles were melting), and I?? looked inside it. The
bar, of course, had tiny air pockets inside of it. For sure those make up the
bubbles. But then it hit me, "What makes these bubbles melt so fast in my mouth?
Of course, I can see the bubbles, but how do they get there? Why do these
certain bubbles melt?"
My hypothesis was that it probably was pure science.
First I checked the ingredients. The bar contained: Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa
butter, unsweetened chocolate, Soya??lechien, artificial flavor). But,
that didn't tell me anything! The bar was basically pure milk chocolate!??
So, I did a test. I used one small break off of the bar to see how long it
takes for the bubbles to melt in my mouth. After 60 seconds, it was fully
melted in my mouth. I believe this tells me that the bubbles had to take up a lot of room
inside the bar for it to melt that quickly.
This answers part of my question. I still needed answers. "How do they get the
bubbles inside the bar?" I wanted to know.
I tried looking on Nestle.ca, because Nestle makes the bars, but still no
information. I tried a search engine, www.ask.com, but still nothing came up. I
went at this search for about two hours before
I gave up.
Maybe Nestle wants to keep the secret on how the bubbles melt and how they get
into the bars. Maybe we will
never know. For me at least, this extremely tasty candy bar is still a great mystery.
This is Librasa, unwrapping candy bars...
