Is that actually Sandy Petersen? Please say yes
Discworld science right here.
Wait, are chocolate oranges just chocolate formed to look like orange slices? All this time I thought it was oranges dipped in chocolate, which has always disgusted me.
And in my defense, I’ve always heard it was a British thing. And British food is infamous for being terrible apart from fish & chips
where i live we have both chocolated fruits and nuts (like nuts dipped into chocolate, which is delicious btw) and animal-shaped chocolate (mostly chocolate bunnies for some reason)
we also have chocolate with fruit flavor. that’s mediocre i’d say.
Yep, it’s break-apart slices of chocolate. You knock it on a table and they separate. I used to like them, and either I can’t find the brand I used to get or my tastes have changed, because the ones I have tried in the past few years just aren’t good.
(I do like orange + chocolate still, in a chocolate bar!)
or my tastes have changed, because the ones I have tried in the past few years just aren’t good.
chances are that as you get older, your taste changes. i liked lots of sweets when i was younger and now i just can’t stand them anymore.
also yeah, recipes have changed as well. factories want to make their food “healthier” so it appeals to the consumer who tries to watch their diet and as a consequence they often use less artificial flavors (i actually don’t have a data source on that, it’s just my personal impression/observation). like everything used to be chock-full of artificial flavors in the mid 20th century, and now they’re not so much anymore.
There used to be two main brands. But you can only seen to find Terry’s now. They were not the good brand. It’s sad really
I’ve only known Terry’s. Now I’m curious what I’m missing out on!
Might be ferrera. I haven’t seen them since I was a kid but they might still exist
I remember the ones that you had to break apart from when I was a kid. The modern ones are all cast so that there’s nothing to break apart; you just grab a little slice of the sphere.
The modern ones are cast, but last time I checked still require some force to break the slices off their central sprue / core. What were the older ones you’re referring to if they weren’t cast like that? Now I am curious lol.
British candy fucks, though.
It had fucking better.
It’s also an American thing. Historically, one would give oranges (citrus, which is ripe late in the year) and chocolate. Somehow that turned into this.
Yes and i used to get these every year growing up in the US.
That is exactly what I thought, I’m so confused.
I’ve never known it for being british, used to get these in my christmas stocking every year as a kid
Also flavored.
Oof that last part. So racist.
British food Is not a race, just terrible food nobody should have ever come up with.
K
British isn’t a race, it’s a rationality. And as a Brit, British food is horrible, including fish and chips.
Erm ok.
I said it’s infamous for being terrible, i.e. a factual statement about its reputation. I never said that it is terrible because I haven’t really had any.
Also, you’re trying to be holier-than-thou over a comment about an Empire that opressed half the world up until around 70 years ago? One that continues to idolize “the good old days”? Learn to pick your battles.
Wow you got all that from what I said? Maybe an emoji 😂
Chill
Projecting much? You’re the one calling people racist over stuff that isn’t racist. And turning into a sarcastic douche towards anyone who reaponded to you.
All of this originated from you making baseless claims because you can’t read. Just stfu amd leave the thread like a normal rational person does when they’re wrong
You ok?
wtf is sandy talking about have people never heard of alchemy lol
I love chocolate oranges so much, definitely one of the coolest candies up there with cotton candy and pop rocks.
I can turn an orange into a chocolatey thing in less than a day. And other things too.
Golden
No, you are.
Just gotta make sure you’re not eating it the wrong way.
Going to chose to believe this from now in and never look into it because it brings me pleasure.
More like Chocolie
