Seeing something that usually tastes better that it looks can be quite annoying... A great example of such a snack is the Cadbury Picnic bar. It doen't look like the most appetising snack, but the taste will just overwelm you. It a sweet combination of nuts, raisons, which wrap with a chocolate layor and connected together with a chewy inside caramel taste. Will takin the first bit the chewy caramel is combinte with the chocolate and the raisons; the nuts that follow simply make your senses tinkle through the crunchyness adding an extra taste to the whole element of the bar. This product had been a complete success for the company, even if the sales of the products stay at a standard level. The combination of chewy and crunchy elements just leaves behind that after-taste, which leaves you wanting more...

Bubbly pleasure




Have you ever bought a chocolate bar and as soon as you start eating it you realize that eating it slower is more enjoyble? Well, i have establish that eating Aero in a fast pace does not give you the same feeling in eating it slow. Having all those bubbles melting on a tongue just gives you a different sensation. However, it is such a light chocolate that you will probably will not be satisfied with just one due to that by the time you start eating it, even if you are delighfully enjoying it slowly you still need more than one. Despite this, Nestle has decide to add a new member in the Aero family; the Aero with a tiny hint of mint. It basically gives you the same feeling as After Eight chocolate, but with a less sicking feeling if you have more than you should. The company thought it was about time to bring the specific chocolate in a more modern touch. However, it hasnt been very succesful, mostly due to the fact that the best thing about the Aero bar are the bubbles. Therefore, by adding a a mint taste to them the concumers' attention is drawn away from the bubbles and focuses on the mint. To be honest that is not what the Aero bar should offer. The minty flavor would have probably worked better on a bar that did not have such a bubbly sensation and which concumers wouldn't have mind on forgeting the original characterisrics and emphasise on the mint. Plain chocolate and mint is probably the combination Nestle is looking for.
