Chocolite

  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

    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!)

      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.

      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

      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.

    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.

      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.

  I can’t look at something like a Terry’s Chocolate Orange and see “natural processes”. This was the divine work of Willy Wonka.

    Trust a hexbear to fetishize great men and ignore marginalized African labor. So communist, thanks.

      Ah yes, we should be livid about OP’s post and despise all confections because of the system we live in. How dare anyone ever enjoy chocolate?!

  I love chocolate oranges so much, definitely one of the coolest candies up there with cotton candy and pop rocks.
