Bubblewrap Candy

by Steve
Friday, August 26, 2005

Bubblewrap CandyThe old idea of "less is more" is exactly what "Bubblewrap Candy" is all about. It's a chocolate bar filled with air bubbles. The idea is to enjoy the sensation of feeling bubbles collapse in your mouth.

First Aid Candy Company, the maker of Bubblewrap Candy, is launching this product based on the success of Nestle's "Aero" chocolate bar, which is sold exclusively in Britain.

They also have plans to launch an array of other varieties based on the bubble theme...
  • Bubble O's - bite sized Bubblewrap Chocolate

  • Hippity Poppities - Bubblewrap Chocolate easter eggs

  • Bubblewrap Candy Pops - a hard candy lollipop with Bubblewrap Chocolate inside
The First Aid Candy Company appears to have some really cool candy ideas. Among them is "Toilet Roll Candy". Its basically tape candy, rolled up onto a toilet roll dispenser, that you can actually mount to the wall, and replenish with refills.

  • Plus, someone also makes the Mirage bar, which is basically the same as Aero. I'm not sure where all that's available, though.

  • Sounds like a great idea, great name "BUBBLE WRAP CANDY" and catchy slogan "GOOD TO THE LAST POP" I spent time in England and loved the Aero Bars, but they are virtually impossible to find in retail stores in the USA, you can purchase them on the web and they need to be imported. England, Canada and Australia NestlĂ©'s has the Mirage bar as well as the Aero and Cadbury has Wispa all aerated Chocolate Bars. I believe NestlĂ©'s tried a aerated chocolate bar called Chocolite back in the late 70's which bombed horrible name and advertising caused its demise I have read. It's about time someone produced a aerated chocolate bar in the good old USA, with a good catchy name aerated chocolate bars are delicious. I wish BUBBLE WRAP Chocolate all the luck can't wait to purchase them. Website is great especially Hippity Poppity the Bunny who pops when he hops, http://bubblewrapcandy.com

  • Just found your site Strange New Products; funny you should mention Bubble Wrap Candy. Here is a message I posted about a week ago on another blog of my first impression of the Bubble Wrap Candy site.
    Do you like chocolate as much as I do? I just read about an interesting new candy...check for yourself at www.bubblewrapcandy.com . You can read about the bubblewrap bunny (?) there and also follow a link to their t-shirts and other gear. While I usually abhor paying for apparel that advertises a product, my perverse sense of humor tells me I should get a shirt to wear to Curves. I must try that dark chocolate ... let me know if you have seen this candy for sale anywhere!

  • Just read an article about the Bubble Wrap Candy guys, just a small operation, seems they are just in the developmental production stages of Bubble Wrap, sounds like some fun products the bubbly candy bar and Bubble O's are they "Bubbles or are they O's now were did I hear that one before.
    Hope the big candy guys Hershey's and Nestle don't bust the bubble like they try with every new product that competes with them .
    What's the M & N man afraid of ? a bunch of bubbles, Give the Bubble a Chance!

  • Whoo! It's like the choco-lite, which was much better than the aero.

  • Aero has been sold in Canada since I was a kid back in the early 70's!

  • Anonymousness what does Aero sold in Canada have to do with a new American made, I mean USA made chocolate bar. I was born and live in the USA not in Canada so I could care less what they sell in Canada. I think we should have a "The Bubble Cup" a bubbly chocolate war, to the last bubble. See which chocolate bar is better. You Canadians can have your foreign bubbles but it's only red, white, and blue bubbles for this American.

  • Just saw Bubble Wrap Chocolate at the Philadelphia Candy Show it was in the Atlantic City Convention Hall. They were handing out samples of aerated dark and milk chocolate, the stuff has great big bubbles much bigger then Aero and melts in your mouth with a different feel. It really is as they say "Bubbles Wrapped in Chocolate" .
    When I asked they said it would be in retail stores this summer in the US. We own a couple of small candy stores in the Pittsburg area and would definitely stock Bubble Wrap Chocolate in my opinion should fly off the shelves.

  • Just saw the Bubble Chocolate on Junk Food news;It is funny how things work just the other day I was talking to a friend of mine who works for a food magazine and he was telling me about this new aerated chocolate product, Bubble Chocolate and he said they sent out samples, and he couldn't believe how great it was premium chocolate much better then Aero he said. He also said they are launching the Bubble Chocolate at a Candy Expo in Chicago in June and it should be available in stores in the USA and even Canada in mid summer.

  • Bubble wrap says the Aero is sold only in the U.K.

    They need to tell the truth if people are going to take them seriously.

    The Aero is sold all over the world and comes in many flavors.

    If you want to copy the Aero go ahead, just do not try and say is only sold in the U.K.

    Maybe you should try inventing a flake chocolate.

    No it's not. Nestle does not market it in the US. The only way it gets here is by wholesalers and stores individually importing them from Canada,

    I think the Mirage is also made by Nestle.

  • Cadbury in Canada also makes the "Dairy Milk Bubbly" bar.

  • Aero has been sold in Japan for quite some time too.

    I honestly didn't care for it too much though. I like my chocolate without air. ^_^\
