Moro (Italian river)

The Moro is a river in Italy. It is located in the province of Chieti in the Abruzzo region of southern Italy. Its source is located near Guardiagrele. The river flows northeast past Orsogna and Lanciano before flowing into the Adriatic Sea near San Vito Chietino. The Allied Eighth Army fought the German 10th Army in the vicinity of the Moro in December 1943.

Moro (chocolate bar)

Moro is the brand name of two different versions of chocolate bar made by Cadbury, one sold in Ireland, one in New Zealand, and Middle East.

Ireland

The Irish Moro consists of nougat, biscuit and caramel filling and chocolate covering. The wrapper is blue, with the "Moro" logo in white. It is manufactured and sold in Ireland.

In May 2006, Moro Peanut was launched, with the words "Formerly Starbar" displayed prominently on the label; the wrapper on this variant is red. In the summer of 2007 a Coconut Moro bar was released as a limited edition in Ireland and colloquially known as the Bounty Moro. The wrapper is white with the Moro logo in yellow with a blue outline. In 2014 a Moro GAA special edition was launched in a deal with two sponsors of the GAA.

Australasia and Middle East

The New Zealand (now Australian) bar has a black wrapper with "Moro" written in yellow (see side photo). The slogan is "Get more go" due to its high energy content. This bar has a whipped nougat and caramel centre and is covered in chocolate. There are three different types of Moro sold in New Zealand, the aforementioned 'standard Moro', the Moro Double Nut containing peanuts and hazelnuts, and the recently released Moro Gold, which is similar to the Irish Moro and the Boost Bar sold by Cadbury in Australia. It is available in New Zealand, and a very limited number of stores in Australia, although Moro is one of the miniature chocolate bars found in Cadbury Favourites. It is equivalent to the Australian or European Mars Bar, as well as being very close to the Australian Cadbury Whip, however within New Zealand it has eclipsed the Mars Bar, becoming something quintessentially Kiwi as well as Cadbury's best selling bar within New Zealand. It's stated on the fun facts page of the Cadbury New Zealand website that a Moro bar is consumed once every two seconds.
