Aero fans offered chance to win £10,000 after UK “bubble breach” factory mishap
Nestlé has reached out to Aero fans after discovering a “bubble breach” at its York facilities that has impacted latest batches of the much-cherished bars – which remain safe to eat, writes Neill Barston.
As the company noted, it is aiming to make good on its mishap by offering £10,000 cash prizes for bubble-less packs bought in stores.
Aero enthusiasts are also encouraged to verify that their bars and packs do in fact have bubbles by entering on the Aero website to be in with the chance of snagging £100 in the daily prize draws.
The secret behind the brand’s signature bubbles has been closely guarded for years, but in light of this serious bubble breach, Nestlé quipped that it has “decided to release CCTV footage showing the bubbles making their escape from the bars in the Aero factory.
On-site engineers confirmed that while the packs had passed all quality checks and are safe to eat, the exact cause of the bubble breach remains a mystery.
Emily Lord, Senior Brand Manager for Aero, said: “We want to apologise and reassure everyone that creating our deliciously bubbly chocolate remains a top priority. We’ll be doing everything we can to make sure no further bubbles escape.”
She added: “If anyone finds a bubble-less pack, please reach out to us right away, and don’t forget to keep your receipt and winning insert!
“We need to get the bubble-breach contained as soon as possible.”
The winning packs are said to contain Aero products that weigh and feel the same as their bubbly counterparts. As of now, however, no bubble-less packs have been discovered. Let the hunt begin!
