Galaxy: Bubbles, a review.

To my knowledge, Galaxy never really expressed too much imagination in their work up until the cookie crumble bar. I always liked Galaxy but it was with the cookie bar that they really won a place in my heart. They took a big gamble and it paid off big style because when they hit the shelves, all it took was a cloudy day or not meeting the man of your dreams to crave some crumbly chocolate comfort. That is to say, the cookie crumble ruled as a treat and any excuse would do, speaking personally anyway.

But this is about the bubbles bar, so let's talk. . .

I knew from the get go that this bar was going to be a fun experience, and to be honest I was kind of planning on telling everyone how I got on even before I bought one. That being said, at first I was a little disapointed with the idea of a galaxy bubble bar. Like it's been done and it's been done very well so what's the big deal when some big girly new one comes into town? I'll fucking tell you what, they did it better! I suppose bubbley bar would be a phrase that would bring to mind Aero straight away so it could probably said that the Aero is the biggest boy in the yard. What I really like about Aero is how delicate the bubbles are. Like it's not really about the quantity of the chocolate you're eating, but the experience you get from the delicate caress the texture delivers, made even more sensual when it's cold or with a hot drink or both. Now for the most part, the Galaxy bubble agrees with Aero and not with the likes of wispa of the late Dairy milk bubble bar, in that a delicate, crumbly chocolate bubble system is way more tasteful. Although Galaxy gets the cognac because as we all no, Aero is made by nestle which is apart from Hershys is probably the most tasteless chocolate in the shop, whereas Galaxy is probably the best. To be honest, Galaxy could probably take every imaginative chocolate bar template and make it way better. Galaxy fruit and nut, Galaxy caramello, Galaxy normal. Although it must be said, that one pair of knickers the galaxy bubble doesn't look her best in, is that with a hot drink, the galaxy chocolate seems to have trouble melting like an Aero would. As in, an Aero melts better. I can't really be sure but I bought an aero and a galaxy and had both with a hot drink at different times yesterday to make sure and I'm nearly certain. It's only a small thing, but it can be sure that because of this Aero is still a fine choice.

To sum up, thumbs up for the new lad and I hope she sticks around for pints and crisps.
