to expect my chocolate orange not to be pre-tapped?

Yes I am raiding the xmas chocolate stash but am disappointed that my orange (and the other one too) was all loose and segmenty.

surely the fun is the tap and unwrap and the tastiest bit is the core strip?

Damn you Terrys!

Seriously? It isn't Christmas without whacking a Terry's chocolate orange with a rolling pin.

Binkyridesagain · 13/12/2013 20:45

I'll try that again.

Complain, no chocolate orange should be sold segementy. EVER!

YADDDDNBU!!

Writerwannabe83 · 13/12/2013 20:51

I am currently eating a Chocolate Orange each day and I love doing the smashing!!

And oh god, the core strip.....heavenly!!!

I wouldn't be happy with a segmenty one, lol Grin

I've never managed to get it to segment with a tap - I know hurl mine at the floor a couple of times before trying not to devour it in one sitting Smile

misskatamari · 13/12/2013 21:23

Now!

" I know hurl mine at the floor a couple of times before trying not to devour it in one sitting"

I throw mine on the floor too! Or aim for the corner of the doorframe.

decaffwithcream · 13/12/2013 21:57

They should just sell boxes of the core strips.

cathpip · 13/12/2013 22:00

Mine is pretapped, only because dh fell over and sat on it. Arsehole!!

Loving " sat on it. Arsehole!!" Very apt.

FionasFatFairy · 13/12/2013 22:03

Cathpip, I hope the last word was not literally!

JemimaPuddle · 13/12/2013 22:03

No core?! I'd complain, most definitely

caramelwaffle · 13/12/2013 22:04

Banish him, cath!

decaff They should be boxed up with gold bows and labelled "My Precious"

YANBU. In fact you worried me so much I had to go check my emergency one! Then OH told me he never taps it he just eats it like an apple? I need advice Iam I living with a freak? Who doesn't tap it????

JaneEyreTheRedNosedReindeer · 14/12/2013 00:30

YANBU.
Where's the fun in a loose chocolate orange, I ask you?
I blame the government...

sykadelic15 · 14/12/2013 04:15

I found out about these only last year. They remind me of Jaffas which I miss (not as much as strawberry freddos and wheatbix but they're up there on my list :D)!

caramelwaffle · 14/12/2013 04:30

If you buy a Chocolate scented candle from Godiva and pour in a few drops of orange essential oil (Holland and Barrett etc) you make the whole house smell exactly like a Terry's chocolate orange.

It was divine.

Mumonabroom · 14/12/2013 04:59

Slightly off topic, but DH only likes the dark chocolate ones, which I can't find for sale anywhere this year, including major supermarket (I'm happy with milk chocolate but the best bit is definitely the middle bit).

raisah · 14/12/2013 06:34

Mumonabroom Ocado & Waitrose have Terrys chocolate Orange

raisah · 14/12/2013 06:35

Sorry they stock the dark variety that your dh is partial to.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 14/12/2013 07:55

I'd like a segmenty orange as I mostly eat them secretly while putting the dds to bed and mnetting but DH can hear the thwack from downstairs and then I have to share. Xmas Angry
