Seriously. The word &#8220;Aerocize&#8221; is on the front page and apparently a fat dude is going town to town, doing a stage show, exercising in the name of Aero. There is a Youtube video, which I include here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wVCnLy9TkWw\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Chunky Japanese dude promoting exercise through Aero bars while they dance to a high-energy dance remix of &#8220;I&#8217;m Popeye The Sailor Man&#8221; is the weirdest promotion for a candy bar, ever. Even weirder than Satan being the final arbitor of the Caramilk Secret. I can tell you I didn&#8217;t feel particularly healthful after having eaten 3 or 4 of these for the review, but at the very least it&#8217;s a delicious snack. :)<\/p>\n<p>If you click around the website you can see that Aero is only 27 calories and Aero is delicious and there are more videos of this chunky dude exercising and eating Aero. It is truly remarkable, and I welcome anyone with any further light to shed on the Aerocizing Phenomenon to post about it in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Chris<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Chris<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H3>Related Posts<\/H3><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Best of the Web: How to drink in Japan at Tofogu.com\" href=\"https:\/\/oyatsubreak.com\/?p=701\" rel=\"bookmark\">Best of the Web: How to drink in Japan at Tofogu.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Best of the Web: DannyChoo.com on Kaiten Sushi\" href=\"https:\/\/oyatsubreak.com\/?p=650\" rel=\"bookmark\">Best of the Web: DannyChoo.com on Kaiten Sushi<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Review: Aero Green Tea\" href=\"https:\/\/oyatsubreak.com\/?p=715\" rel=\"bookmark\">Review: Aero Green Tea<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Best of the Web: Shibuya246 Combini Monday\" href=\"https:\/\/oyatsubreak.com\/?p=646\" rel=\"bookmark\">Best of the Web: Shibuya246 Combini Monday<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came across this while reviewing Aero Green Tea this week, and was a little awestruck.
