They've changed chocolate oranges? 'Da fuck?! ShockSad

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/10/2016 14:56

Why?!?!? Why, when we had the best chocolate in the world, would they change it to make it shit?!?!?

Cadbury's seriously disappointed me when they sold the company to Kraft. Was almost tempted to stop buying it.

Since it has been reduced in size to make it barely visible to the naked eye, say you dropped it and can't find it, which is fortunate since it now contains palm oil and tastes of crap.

I'd read about it but not experienced it yet until the other day and I was given a chocolate orange. I was gutted - it was nasty...
So on that basis take to work as you couldn't eat a whole one yourself anymore!

Katedotness1963 · 02/10/2016 15:03

Definitely not as good as they used to be. I'm about done with British chocolates.

2kids2dogsnosense · 02/10/2016 15:05

YADNBU!

Who in the name of all creation would ever SHARE a chocolate orange?

Hell's Bells! Is your friend on glue or something, that she has even thought of such a scenario, let alone suggested it?

(Mind, I can't envisage giving anyone a chocolate orange to share or otherwise, personally, so I may be the wrong person to ask.)

Eat it yourself (if you haven't already . . . Grin)

2kids2dogsnosense · 02/10/2016 15:06

No Detailed. A tub of Quality Street is NOT meant for sharing - it is a single portion.

areyoubeingserviced · 02/10/2016 15:07

Your friend is not a real friend.
A real friend would not expect you to share a chocolate orange. I will not even allow my dc to eat one segment of my chocolate orange.

HerFaceIsaMapOfTheWorld · 02/10/2016 15:10

I would eat it to myself

This with chocolate bells on it.

TutanKaDashian · 02/10/2016 15:12

Umm, I lurve chocolate orange.

Did someone say they were just £1?!!

PrincessOG16 · 02/10/2016 15:12

Is she even your real friend? I can't stand people like that!!!

peppercold · 02/10/2016 15:14

Scoff it, then forget you had it.

lizzieoak · 02/10/2016 15:18

We've had these in our stockings since I was a kid. How dare they mess with tradition. Fairly sad (in a chocolate level way) about this. A bar of green & blacks is just not a festive shape (though their orange flavoured one is lovely and I guess we'll have to go with that). Sad

Now I think about it, the orange lindor chocs could be my Xmas chocolate orange replacement. They are awesome Grin

Garthmarenghi · 02/10/2016 15:42

Chocolate oranges are greasy, small and the middle core has gone. It's disappointing.

kierenthecommunity · 02/10/2016 15:45

The middle core has gone?! Shock

If you get the sphere shaped ones they are practically the same size these days.

Garthmarenghi · 02/10/2016 16:09

At least you can still rely on a box of maltesers

Chocolatefudgecake100 · 02/10/2016 16:19

I have a chocolate orange in the cupboard im suddenly not v excited about it

MitzyLeFrouf · 02/10/2016 16:26

Poor chocolate orange, she used to be a snazzy bit of confectionery that signaled the advent of Christmas festivities. Now she's down on her luck and being forced to sell her wares in Morrison's for a paltry pound. Chucked into to the shopping basket with half a pound of sausages and a bottle of Domestos.

Sad times.

The core is gone?!! Rise up, people, rise up.
