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.

My corner shop has them.....they're ok, nice hint of orange but I thought they were a bit dry. No way as good as the white Snickers were!

MsBananaHammock · 19/10/2019 12:33

Yes! Had one last night. We got ours from our local Costcutters. 75p each 😱

LittleTopic · 19/10/2019 12:34

Might go and get some Orange Aero instead...

Yes! My 15 year old volunteers in the hospice shop and came back with four last week.
He said people were buying loads of them to sell on!

Crinklesmile · 19/10/2019 12:37

We ordered 20 boxes- 10 arrived, sold out within 1 day Shock

They exist but seem to be like gold dust! I found them in a post office! Bloody gorgeous! Keep hunting!!

Pukkatea · 19/10/2019 12:44

Got mine in the Coop, not seen them in any bigger shops. They're so good!

SnuffleBadger · 19/10/2019 12:58

I am in the UK and I had one last night. I bought it from my local shop.

MollyMorals · 19/10/2019 15:51

@hahaha88 yeah pineapple bounties. You need 2 though as they’re only mini bars. They’re delish!

RHTawneyonabus · 19/10/2019 16:02

Why was I not informed of this? They sound fab!

Honeythekittycat · 19/10/2019 16:02

WH Smith's have them.

cozycat1 · 19/10/2019 16:15

Yes - got one from a local corner Premier sop. Only caught my eye because they were limited to 2 per customer. Pretty yuk really. lame orange tase and bit dry. If you want orange chocolate, plenty of better choices. Wish I;d taken the Cadburys gingerbread!

Pilchardsky · 19/10/2019 16:16

Yes, but they are very disappointing. I could only eat half.

Minai · 19/10/2019 16:20

I got one from WHSmith on my local high street today. Not as orangey as I expected but still nice

Dippysnowoman · 19/10/2019 16:20

Managed to get 1 but not massively impressed, however the Cadburys gingerbread is heaven, you were on a winner!!

Newhomenewarea · 19/10/2019 16:21

I hadn't heard anything about this, someone at work bought loads and gave one to everyone yesterday. I wasnt impressed and had no idea it was a special thing

loutypips · 19/10/2019 16:27

Apparently bp garages have them. Although as someone posted this on Facebook earlier I imagine they've all gone by now. Confused personally orange chocolate is 🤢

cricketmum84 · 19/10/2019 16:42

I can confirm that they do!

My lovely assistant at work spotted some in a shop and brought me 2. DH has devoured his but I've been saving mine for tonight.

Do orange Twirls actually exist?
Beccaishere · 19/10/2019 16:44

Yes they exist we had 2 bars last night! Tbh we thought they tasted very similar to a terrys chocolate orange. Still very yummy though Smile

cricketmum84 · 19/10/2019 16:48

Tbh a terrys chocolate orange is way better value. £1.50 for an orange twirl but a choc orange is 99p in Aldi!

GrandTheftWalrus · 20/10/2019 00:34

I wasnt keen on it. So waiting for the mint flake to hit the shelves.

I still miss coconut toffee crisps though.

OneOfTheGrundys · 20/10/2019 00:42

Guy at my running club got the coach 2 boxes!!! I saw them in the boot of her car. Well jel.

PointlessUsername · 20/10/2019 00:45

Oh wow, i want one.

I saw a lemon Daim the other day Envy yuck.

Starksforthewin · 20/10/2019 00:47
