  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!)

    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.

  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.

    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.

        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
