I fucking hate those things. The only good part about them is smashing them on the table so it busts into segments.

>>8346778
Good point. Entertainment with your dessert is definitely a bonus.

>>8346778
How bout I smash YOU on the table and busts YOU into segments?

>>8346765
I love them. Always eat one around Christmas.

I buy a few every year, they're great. They don't seem to be popular though, which sucks, because there's lots of varieties I'd love to try, especially the raspberry one that supposedly exists but I can't even find a bloody picture on Google.

Gotta disagree about the whole "whack and unwrap" bullshit though. I think it's a retarded novelty and just makes a mess. And it bugs me that none of the orange slices are ever as perfectly shaped as they could be.

>>8346765
>perusing
shopping. You were shopping.

I loved the mint ones as a kid but haven't seen them in years. Did they stop making mint flavour?

i also haven't tried one for around 15 years.

they were fucking great and i miss the dawn french ads

>>8347065
>Terry's Chocolate Orange Mint (Discontinued 2012)
Just looked it up ;_;

>>8346814
Now that I know they all exist, I'll probably be making a more frequent tradition of it.

>>8346824
I'd never heard of a raspberry one before. Sounds delicious, will be scoping. And I have to say that the one I just recently finished was pretty much shaped as well as I could have expected. What do you think would make them more aesthetically pleasing?

>>8346827
This is true as well.

>>8347065
>>8347076
That's devastating to me and I didn't even know they existed.

>>8347070
You need to find yourself one. They're still quite a treat

>>8346765

So is it just chocolate or is there something inside?

>>8347070
Also, just looked up one of the ads. Worth a chuckle.

>>8347187
It's solid, orange flavored chocolate, friend.

When I was a child, my grandparents had this dog that would eat literally anything. One Christmas, they got me a box of these and the dog found them and ate them all. Aluminum wrappers included. I remember him shitting out huge chunks of aluminum all over the house. I was super excited because I thought he was shitting out gold and we had a source of infinite income.

Anyway, they're pretty fucking good. I eat them every year around Christmas.

Hahahaha fucking kek

>>8346765
We used to have this every christmas, much better in my opinion

When I was a kid we always had a basket of Bloomer's Chocolates as they were made locally so cheap. During the '00s varieties began disappearing and ultimately the company vanished completely around 2012. Although peanut butter logs were my favorite and they as well as most other varieties are easily replaced by competing products my second favorite was honeycomb chips which must be especially difficult to produce. Only Esther Price seems to have them locally and only 1 per box and they're shit. I haven't had a proper 50% air honeycomb chip in over 5 years now.

Holy fuck you just gave me a reason to go to England ASAP
That sounds fucking amazing

>>8347248
I've seen several US copycats.

>>8347201
I agree with this anon >>8347208

>>8347225
Is that candied orange peels dipped in chocolate? I always see these at fancy chocolate shops and the like, but never saw the a-peel (bu-dum tss). But I guess the fact that it's a comparable product makes it it must try now.

>>8347234
I'm not sure I've ever tried anything that's actually honeycomb, but I'd like to. They're naturally soft, but processed to be crunchy, right?

>>8347248
OP here. I'm in the US, and my original picture of Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange is exactly what I got from my local grocer a few days ago. The milk chocolate variety was next to it on the shelf. Have at it, bud! No need for knockoffs like >>8347290 mentioned; though, I'm sure they're just as good.

>>8347321
Yes they're candied orange in dark chocolate. They exist in milk or black chocolate. I really like them, they're not too sweet so I'll just have a few instead of being tempted to have the whole thing. Also they work really well when you dip them in coffee

I fucking love orange-flavored chocolate, but I don't really eat sweets. My family usually gets me one around christmas though.

>>8347290
>>8347321

b..but I'm not American guys, I'm a danefag, we don't even have the fake kind ;_;

>>8347340
I'll be sure to stop by the local chocolatier one of these weekends. Thanks for the coffee tip. Do you contrast flavors when doing that? (I.e. bitter coffee/milk chocolate, or bitter choclate, sweetened coffee) or do you match the flavor profiles?

>>8347349
I don't eat 'em much either. But when I saw this and remembered my childhood, I had to grab the little treasure and damn was it ever as good as I could've remembered.

>>8347368
That's truly unfortunate. Though, shipping is a great thing.

>>8347321
>They're naturally soft, but processed to be crunchy, right?
Actual honeycomb is made of beeswax but honeycomb chips are made of molasses kind of like a toffee and a machine shapes them like that. The texture makes them melt in your mouth instead of getting stuck in your teeth.

>>8347379
I usually drink big mugs of french pressed coffee with a spoonful of sugar and it works best with dark chocolate ones. The milk chocolate kind are just too sweet for me anyways

I thought they were originally norwegian

>>8347411
That's because you are a narcissist and a retard

>>8347508
I'm swedish and my family would go to Norway a weekend in december for a couple of years because of my dads work and that's the only time I've had them. They seemed to be quite traditional.

>>8347522
When I was little, that is.

>>8347381
Well, your pic certainly makes them look delicious. I'll have to see if I ever come across anything comparable.

>>8347395
I'm excited to try it out. I love, both, dark chocolate and dark coffee. If my love for citrus can find its way into the mix, I won't be mad about it.

>>8347522
So, are you a fan of them?

>>8346824
can confirm rasberry in canada
liked the original the best tho

>>8350295
could have been a limited thing tho now that i think about it
havent had one in a few years

>>8347187
It's filled with a bunch of balls. Fact.

I was disappointed to find it wasn't a solid sphere when I bought one for the first time

>>8346778
>>8346824

New ones come pre-segmented.

>>8351269
It used to be. I hated how hard a time i had with them when i was a kid

>>8350295
So, is it supposed to be like a raspberry shaped one, then? Or is it still orange shaped? It sounds delicious, either way.

>>8351054
>Implying this thread is about your mouth.

>>8351269
>>8351454
That sound pretty horrible. The slices they currently do are perfect to get the best combination of texted and flavor.

>>8351427
And it's awesome.

It's not Terry's, it's mine.

Dried fruits in dark chocolate are objectively the best candy in existence, fight me

>>8352476
Yeah the thing was you were supposed to slam it against a wall or something to get it to fall apart like in advertisements.

Literally scrolled by this with a slice of chocolate orange in hand, anyways the Terry's ones are?? Gone, I had a hard time finding copycats for a couple years (my entire family loves them, it was A Big Deal as far as seasonal candy goes I guess) but saw one last week that is closer to the old ones than the Trader Joes ones are IMO.

I'll probably die if I have more than two slices in a sitting, I have no idea how I inhaled them as a kid (and didn't end up diabetic or some shit)

>>8346824
>Terry's

It's not Terry's - it's mine

>>8352527
You can actually consume a fairly decent amount of sugar without ill effects, the problem (in America) is that sugar was put in literally everything to replace fat which, at the time, was thought to be bad for you. As long as you make sure added sugar isn't in your daily meal items, you'll be fine. Well, as long as your semi-reasonable about it, nothing's gonna help you if down a pound of milk chocolate every day.

>>8352480
>>8352661
Bringing it back I see. Keep fighting the good fight.

>>8352483
I can't say that I disagree! I'd fight at your side.

>>8352485
But they still weren't solid, right? Like "whacking" them was just supposed to separate the segments, yeah?

>>8352527
The Terry's ones are still alive and well. Hence the reason I made this thread. I was very shocked, myself.

>>8352998
I try to keep me sugar intake to a "fairly appropriate" level rather than "fairly decent". Mainly because of exactly what you said about it being in everything, now. It's so hard to avoid that I've gone ahead and made it a challenge accepted. But that's just me

Fuck you guys, you made me buy this shit after 10 years not having it.
Tastes much better than I remember as a teen.

>>8346765

i feel the exact same way. i remember enjoying one when i was a kid. i really liked it. never had another one.

>>8347234
Bloomer's or Blommer's? I used to live near a Blommer's chocolate factory.

>>8354026
>five
how fat are you, anon

>>8354376
One for the wife, one for my son, one for my daughter, one for me now and one for me later

Bloomer's

They're cut in pieces so you can share anon. You're not supposed to eat a whole on your own. This is why you are fatty.

You can get Terry's at Winco dude. I've had them before.

>>8346765
Same. Haven't had one in years. Had forgotten they even existed until this thread.

>>8346824
Terrys doesnt have a raspberry one there is an knock off that makes it and it isn't even chocolate and uses fake vanilla

>>8346765
They're not Terrys, they're mine.

>>8347234
If you are after a honeycomb dipped in chocolate then try a Crunchie.

chocolate and orange is not a good food combination

>>8356054
Yes it is.

>>8356054
What planet do you live on

>>8354026
That's definitely a good haul. My favorite part is how you couldn't wait to take the picture before cracking one open. Top kek. I hope your family enjoys them as well.

>>8354038
>>8355696
Do yourselves a flavor favor and find one this weekend.

>>8355951
Glad to get some details on this. Doesn't sound like your a fan of the raspberry knockoff, then? I'm still curious about the shape.

>>8356054
t. Someone who hasn't tried chocolate and orange combined.

>>8356053
Not that anon, but will still take the recommendation.

>>8354675
Mid-level kek. Mainly the way he said/emphasized that last line.

>>8356272
You sound like such a faggot.

no u

Objectively best chocolate, good taste

These things make my pee pee tingle
