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 local garage has loads. I thought they were a bit meh tbh, Terry's choc orange is much nicer

BarbedBloom · 20/10/2019 01:57

Can't find one. But now I want Cadbury gingerbread

SnowyRacoon · 20/10/2019 02:34

I cant find any anywhere and looked in every possible shop in my geographical location! 😫

I got one in a Londis - last night's Sat treat Smile

A market near where I live seems to have a fantastic supply, I only wish I knew which wholesaler he used. He's selling them for £2 each of 3 for £5 and people are buying it because of the hype. I bet it feels like Christmas to him right now!

They do exist and we have had one. There was just one box in a local shop a couple of weeks ago and they quickly sold out. We had to share one between us all though because I'm mean. One bite each. A whole TCO on offer is only £1and an OT was 79p! My DCs are used to me though. I thought it tasted better than TCOs do these days, less oily, but one DC preferred TCO and not just on volume.

Apparently, Co-op stores, stock the Orange Twirl's.

For an alternative, has anybody tried Morrisons Milk chocolate, orange segments ?
They're just like the more, well known Chocolate Orange, but Morrisons own brand version, are in a flat box, and the last time I looked, they were only £1 per box, and they're very good, in my opinion. 👍

Daim lemon is so much better

JuneFromBethesda · 20/10/2019 09:16

I neeeeed one of these. (Probably more than one). I can't resist novelty chocolate. Off to Co-op later then ...

Cherrypi · 20/10/2019 09:36

None of the coops round here have them. Not even the massive one.

Ifixbrokenthings · 20/10/2019 09:50

Yes. They exist, have seen them in a shop, possibly a spar or Tesco as that's where I've been in the last week. Colleagues obsessed with them. I love twirls, dislike orange chocolate though, so I'm uninterested in tasting but gingerbread cadburies...... I need this in my life. That sounds unreal 😍😍

RightOnTheEdge · 20/10/2019 10:01

I got one at my local little shop, they always seem to have all the new chocolate.
They had malteaser buttons ages before they were all over.

I liked the orange Twirl but didn't love it.
As pps have said its a bit dry and not as crumbly as normal Twirls.

AhoyDelBoy · 20/10/2019 10:02

I can’t belive Terry’s CO are only £1! They’re like $5 here (Australia). I love them but they’re a definite ‘treat’ thing for me because they’re expensive (and I can eat a whole one in one sitting Grin)

Poppiesway1 · 20/10/2019 10:06

Yes, there seems to be an obsession for them in my area. A friends husband brought the entire box from the local co-op and is now selling them on eBay!! Angry

Please tell me it's true about pineapple Bounty - can anyone post a picture?

PixieDustt · 20/10/2019 10:33

Yes! They sell them in my local garage 🤤

mummyof2boys30 · 20/10/2019 10:38

Yip live in northern Ireland and my work sells them. We are selling on average a box a day. I'm not fussed to be honest

StillCoughingandLaughing · 20/10/2019 13:31

My friend spotted these on Facebook Shock

I picked some up in my local WH Smith’s. I’m not a big chocolate orange fan but DH was desperate to try them. He loved them I thought the orange was too sharp in them.

MissLadyM · 20/10/2019 13:43

Pineapple Bounty!!!! Where???? The gingerbread chocolate was disappointing. Not gingery enough!

MissLadyM · 20/10/2019 13:46

Just found out you can get dark chocolate cherry Bounty in Australia!!!

Lowlandlucky · 20/10/2019 13:47
