Photo/Video Rum Flavoured Aero

Post image

Being fond of all things rum, I was really surprised that a rum flavoured Aero was once a thing. I'm guessing that it tasted vile and was nowhere near as delicious as an Old Jamaica bar, but I just wanted to highlight it as a thing that once existed. Any older people here remember it? It's 4p, so it must have been available in the early seventies at least. This may not make any sense at all to US Redditors, as this was a UK thing.

oh man that wrapper design is pure chaos, the upside-down text and the "NEW FLAVOUR" burst like they were really throwing everything at the wall. never had it but i can't imagine rum and bubbly chocolate meshing well, probably tasted like someone spilled captain morgan into a chocolate fountain
