WCIF Terry’s Chocolate Orange?

Are you referencing the product manufactured in:

a) the original factory in the UK (now shuttered);
b) the lower cost factory/ies in eastern Europe; or
c) Strasbourg, reportedly the current factory site; or
d) all of the above?

Saw them in the Sunny page and thought they looked good.

Most carrefore’s stock them.

'warning- this product does not contain orange and possibly no chocolate either '.

Just kidding.

I will buy one for fun if I see it next time. Wife will complain cos it’s too sweet though.

Edited :grin:

Nah…she’s already got @Brianjones nuts in her watch pocket.

I’m sure he meant to type, “Will will complain”.

It “contains real orange oil” and “flavouring” :slight_smile:

My wife likes it! In fact, she just told me to go get more.

Every so often I realize that companies have so much legal covering for putting ANYTHING in their food. “Real orange oil”!?!?!?

Should be produced from the skin?

“And what, sir, is this? Is this oil from real oranges?” “Nah, who needs that? It’s oil, right? And it’s orange. And it ain’t imaginary.”

Don’t forget it will have to taste like orange! Making oil from orange peel isn’t so tough. Don’t be too cynical!

Contains 0.00000000001% real orange oil.

I mean, does it? I figure just being orange in color meets the requirements. Through [edit, THROW, gah] a tiny smidge of turmeric in gasoline and you’ve met the requirements.

(I’m of course not saying that’s what happens. It’s just one of those reminders that, when examined, ingredients lists can be scary.)

Good point.

it don’t seam to bad in moderation
( E on the nutri-score and Nova 4 ultra processed food )

Ingredients list:

Sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, dried skimmed MILK, dried whey (from MILK), MILK fat, vegetable fats (palm, shea), emulsifier (SOYA lecithin), flavourings (orange oil, vanillin). MILK SOLIDS 14% MINIMUM.COCOA SOLIDS 25% MINIMUM.CONTAINS VEGETABLE FATS IN ADDITION TO COCOA BUTTER. MAY CONTAIN NUTS, WHEAT.

Not delighted by the palm oil—but maybe I’m just picky here.

Wonder if the dark chocolate will be better.

chocolate + citrus anything = a hard pass from me

Obviously there is a crowd out there who enjoys it, but for me it makes me queasy.

Chocolate + raspberries though, = a solid yes, please.

Standing here wondering what to do next.

Probably drive home…
