Do orange Twirls actually exist?

I have looked in 10 shops! Are they actually real or is it a marketing gimmick?

On the plus side I did discover Cadbury Gingerbread chocolate and ate the whole big bar in one go.

Shock I hope they do!!!! Not seen them but not looked for them, I will now though Wink

kimlo · 19/10/2019 09:38

yes, I've had one.

RolytheRhino · 19/10/2019 09:38

A radio show did a feature on this and they got hold of twenty IIRC but they had to order them in from New Zealand or somewhere. They're not currently available in the UK AFAIK.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 19/10/2019 09:38

If you’d asked me this yesterday morning I’d have said no but as I now have 2 I can reliably reply that yes they do Grin

Someone I know got one in a co op. But she said those Cadbury orange snowmen are nicer

Yes they do! I've had one!

Stravapalava · 19/10/2019 09:41

It seems to be regional / specific shop dependent at the moment but they will be rolled out eventually. I was looking for the gingerbread one for ages and couldn't find it and now it's everywhere. Be patient.

I am —irrationally— angry about not seeing one in the shops yet AngrySad

LittleTopic · 19/10/2019 09:45

And my strike through didn’t work Grin

StillCoughingandLaughing · 19/10/2019 09:45

I’ve yet to find one 🥺 but my friend is in Belfast for the weekend and has found them there.

According to Cadbury’s, Morrisons, the Co-Op and Spar all have them - although neither branch of the Co-Op I’ve tried had them.

CarolDanvers · 19/10/2019 09:45

I literally couldn't click on this thread fast enough! Orange Twirls?! Seriously? This sounds too perfect to be true.

Givemestrengthorgin · 19/10/2019 09:46

My local bp/M&S garage has them at the till!

AlexaKimbo · 19/10/2019 09:46

I bought 3 last week. Haven’t eaten one myself but kids said they are nice.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 19/10/2019 09:47

I didn't even know they were meant to be a thing, but I need one in my life.

AlexaKimbo · 19/10/2019 09:47

Got mine in local Spar too same as PP.

I have a cold...WIBU to send DH and DS out for a few hours to the nearest city to try and find some? I need some peace and quiet. And chocolate.

OP posts:
cantfindname · 19/10/2019 09:51

I had two and honestly? They are over-hyped. The chocolate is true to Cadbury's form and awful and the orange taste is very faint.

Give me a chocolate orange any day.

rainywinterday · 19/10/2019 09:52

I just saw some in whsmiths this morning!

SylvanianFrenemies · 19/10/2019 09:52
