Is that actually Sandy Petersen? Please say yes
Discworld science right here.
I love chocolate oranges so much, definitely one of the coolest candies up there with cotton candy and pop rocks.
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!)
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.
British candy fucks, though.
It had fucking better.
I’ve never known it for being british, used to get these in my christmas stocking every year as a kid
Also flavored.
Yes and i used to get these every year growing up in the US.
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.
That is exactly what I thought, I’m so confused.
Oof that last part. So racist.
British food Is not a race, just terrible food nobody should have ever come up with.
K
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.
Wow you got all that from what I said? Maybe an emoji 😂
Chill
As a Brit I often joke “if you can communicate cleanly with the people making the food, you’re ordering food from the wrong place”
wtf is sandy talking about have people never heard of alchemy lol
He was the level designer for the original Doom duology, he should’ve known better.
Just gotta make sure you’re not eating it the wrong way.
I can turn an orange into a chocolatey thing in less than a day. And other things too.
Golden
No, you are.
Going to chose to believe this from now in and never look into it because it brings me pleasure.
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.
I’m not saying don’t enjoy chocolate, I’m saying respect the oompa loompas, shit heel
Though now that you mention it the supply lines for chocolate are almost as clean as the one for rare earth minerals and cocaine. So maybe skip the chocolate. Shit.
More like Chocolie
