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.

There are also caramel ones apparently...

MissCharleyP · 19/10/2019 10:22

Yes, they’re in the vending machine at work. Haven’t tried one yet.

Go to a BP garage that has an M&S food. They seem to be very well stocked (and they are worth the hunt!)

OkayGo · 19/10/2019 10:35

It's in my village coop - i would offer to post but it sounds like you need it quicker Smile

I had one yesterday, they were really nice! Much better than normal twirls, a bit of a Terry's Chocolate Orange flavour.

GrandTheftWalrus · 19/10/2019 10:37

I've had one

Evilspiritgin · 19/10/2019 10:58

@Basketofkittens yes it is thanks

lookingforinspiration13 · 19/10/2019 10:59

I got some in the Coop in Necton

MollyMorals · 19/10/2019 11:04

Yes they do as do pineapple bounty bars. ☺️

I've had one. AND I bought 4 this morning-for the people who went "not fair" when I said I had one. The chap was really nice and said I could have 4 when I explained, despite him limiting to one purchase each.

I think they seem to be going to small retailers.

I imagine he's run out by now though. One local company said their box lasted precisely 6 minutes, even with a limit of 1 per person! Shock

I came in to work this morning and there was one on my desk. They're like a soft chocolate orange. I approve.

BanginChoons · 19/10/2019 11:11

I tried one yesterday, it wasn't really all that orangey though. It didn't live up to my expectations.

@MollyMorals
Do not tell lies!!! Pineapple bounties??

Hearthside · 19/10/2019 11:13

Yes they do i had one from local garage was lush but not seen one since .

Nononononono33 · 19/10/2019 11:15

I bought two at the little shop at Manchester Oxford Road station this week, at £1.29 each! I was a little disappointed, felt they could have been more orangey.

Did someone say caramel ones?!

Nutkin123 · 19/10/2019 11:18

Yes and it was delicious! Purchases in a spar in Manchester!

I shared 1 with dd we got it in the co op im still not sure if I liked itHmm

peachycore · 19/10/2019 11:22

Yes, and they're bloody delicious Smile

user1497207191 · 19/10/2019 11:28

Not seen them in supermarkets, but they're in all our local convenience stores, i.e. Spar, One stop, etc. Being heavily promoted by the looks of it - usually a box on the counter.

LenoVintura · 19/10/2019 11:32

Got one at the petrol station on Monday. Ate one stick, gave DH the other a couple of days later when he was scrounging round for choc after supper Grin.

missmarplesapprentice · 19/10/2019 11:36

I second the co-op. That's where I got mine.

Well I basically cleaned the shelf of 15 of them. Not all for me (I only had 1). For a few of us in work especially as one friend was having a really bad few weeks and we wanted to cheer her up, plus she had been looking for them. I've heard bargain booze has them too. It's kind of like Chinese whispers. P.S our co-op made them difficult to spot on the shelves.

I only had 1 of them, nice but I wouldn't go out my way for one now.

Sweetooth92 · 19/10/2019 11:42

Our local select & save do! DH remarked that he hadn’t seen them anywhere and was informed they have 4 boxes in the back. Not for long. They’re about 50 paces from the front door and they were really nice

taytosandwich · 19/10/2019 11:44

My shop had them and then the next week didn't have them anymore! So my supply has been interrupted and I'm having withdrawal symptoms. I look for them in every shop I'm in. They're delicious.

KurriKurri · 19/10/2019 11:53

I got mine at a little local card shop/sweet shop/post office - I liked it but it was a bit sickly.

vampirethriller · 19/10/2019 12:18

Premier shops have them. They're not very orangey though.
