He was the level designer for the original Doom duology, he should’ve known better.

I can turn an orange into a chocolatey thing in less than a day. And other things too.

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?!
Touch grass.

Is that actually Sandy Petersen? Please say yes

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

Going to chose to believe this from now in and never look into it because it brings me pleasure.

Just gotta make sure you’re eating it correctly.

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
GreenCrunch@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
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!)
Drusas@fedia.io 10 months ago
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.
CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
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
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
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.

British candy fucks, though.
cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
It had fucking better.
Drusas@fedia.io 10 months ago
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.
untorquer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes and i used to get these every year growing up in the US.
Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 months ago
That is exactly what I thought, I’m so confused.
fox2263@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oof that last part. So racist.

British food Is not a race, just terrible food nobody should have ever come up with.
TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
British isn’t a race, it’s a rationality. And as a Brit, British food is horrible, including fish and chips.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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.
FosterMolasses@leminal.space 10 months ago
I’ve never known it for being british, used to get these in my christmas stocking every year as a kid
eronth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Also flavored.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
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)
