Just sat down to wrap Christmas presents and start prep for Christmas Dinner. Poured myself a glass of red and cracked open a chocolate orange. What the hell has happened to it???? The segments are tiny and appeared to have been slightly hollowed. The flavour appears to have been mondelez'd Sad

Is nothing scared anymore??????

(Not that I doubted you OP, I was just hoping you had a dud!)

LemonRedwood · 24/12/2016 19:22

They taste horrible now. Nothing like they used to, and there's no longer that delicious wodge of chocolate in the middle that held the whole thing together Sad

OopsDearyMe · 24/12/2016 19:23

What the ? First quality street and now bleeding chic oranges! They are different manufacturers tho right?

I know kraft took over cadburys but did Terrys go?

Cherrysoup · 24/12/2016 19:24

There's no wodge in the middle, merely a thin spindle like affair, as I discovered to my absolute horror when the OH bought five on the cheap the other day and I had one for lunch. That's normal, right? It doesn't taste awful, but it's not the same. :(

GlitterGlue · 24/12/2016 19:24

They're rank now. Fucking palm oil.

Wolfiefan · 24/12/2016 19:25

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I have one hidden for my exclusive enjoyment later. Bastards!!!
Will all the companies just stop ruining all the chocolate. NOW!!!!

TheChippendenSpook · 24/12/2016 19:26

It hasn't been the same for years. No chocolate has. It's a sad sad world!

Graphista · 24/12/2016 19:27

Oh bugger this is dds choc treat for Christmas which she normally loves. Poor kid.

LemonRedwood · 24/12/2016 19:32

Cherrysoup Completely normal, yes. Mine was dinner Grin

Tumtitum · 24/12/2016 19:33

Christmas is ruined!!! 😱

whyohwhy000 · 24/12/2016 19:38

It's almost as bad as Toblerone.

luckylucky24 · 24/12/2016 19:40

They taste like crap :(

TwentyChews · 24/12/2016 19:41

No!!! Father Christmas brings us all one. Even a couple of spare for any stray guests!

AccioWine · 24/12/2016 19:48

Oh no, please don't say that - It's the "orange" in our stockings!
First they mess with Toblerone, now it's the chocolate orange! Is nothing sacred?! Shock

OublietteBravo · 24/12/2016 19:53

They're made by Mondolez these days I think.

Chocolate + citrus fruit is wrong - I've never liked them.

LobsterQuadrille · 24/12/2016 19:58

Oddly, this has made me feel better as I ate a whole one today and didn't get the chocolate fix I was anticipating. I therefore continued with chocolate biscuits.

jugotmail · 24/12/2016 19:58

My husband is going to be very disappointed tomorrow, he always has one at xmas but no longer. The choc is crap and greasy, size is reduced and the middle is missing. Boooooo

Miserylovescompany2 · 24/12/2016 19:58

Terry can have it back...

blowmybarnacles · 24/12/2016 19:59

Its the cheap nasty palm oil isn't it.? Co-op fair trade chocolate is free from palm oil, I was delighted to discover recently. Doesn't help you right now Op, sorry.

bluebeck · 24/12/2016 20:02

Mine tastes just the same as usual Confused

LemonRedwood · 24/12/2016 20:15

blowmybarnacles Yep, that'll be it. That's pretty much what did for Dairy Milk too. Makes it impossible to make modelling chocolate with dairy milk now too. Awful stuff and destroys habitats too Sad

Pigflewpast · 24/12/2016 20:15

I had one yesterday (after very disappointing quality streets I posted about), thought it was same as normal, but now you've made me realise there was no middle widget. Gutted.
