Colour of Irish bars
I've added a photo of a Moro bar I bought in Stourbridge yesterday. It seems to be an Irish import (the return address is Dublin, with no UK address added, and Woolworths etc in the UK are still stocking only Starbars), but as can be seen the wrapper is most certainly not blue, so I've deleted that information from the article until someone can produce evidence (prefarably a photo) of a blue Irish Moro.

That is a peanut moro, which is red, not blue, the plain or regular moro bar is in a blue wrapper. Cliph 15:59, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


 * All right; I stand corrected. I've never (yet?) seen a blue one in the UK; the description sounds like a Boost, which is indeed sold in a blue wrapper. So far 99% of shops in Britain are still selling yellow-wrappered Starbars. Loganberry (Talk) 01:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I always reckoned Boost and Moro were the same bar in different wrappings, certainly in Northern Ireland the Boost was much more prevalent than the Starbar. Ghostreveries (talk) 03:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

"becoming something quintessentially Kiwi"
That's POV, surely, without a reference? It may very well be true, but that alone isn't enough for an encyclopedia. Loganberry (Talk) 12:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC) As someone who has lived in New Zealand for 39 years, I can verify that claim of quintessential Kiwi chocolate bar.Kiwipeso (talk) 00:58, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Well not sure if this would count as reference for the statement that was given, but cadbury new zealand website, says the following of the moro bar: "Moro is an iconic Kiwi bar, which has a heritage of providing Kiwi’s with energy for over 40 years."

pronunciation
NZ pronunciation is closer to "more-o" than "mow-row" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.5.140.24 (talk) 22:20, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

IRL pronunciation is mor-o, but many insist it is more-o. Either way, its not easy to agree on one way of displaying that.Cilsherlock (talk) 19:32, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There is no standard NZ pronunciation. In my experience "mor-o" is more common than "more-o".Royalcourtier (talk) 04:14, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Manufacture and sale confused
The statement in the intro "one sold in Ireland, one in New Zealand, and Middle East" is wrong. It seems to be confusing manufacture with countries where they are sold.
