I just ate a full Terry’s chocolate orange to myself

YANBU - that is normal
YABU - that is greedy bastard behaviour

YANBU

They are not for sharing in this house

had a uni friend who worked out that, at the time, a chocolate orange was about 1,000 calories. So if you just ate one a day you’d lose 2lbs a week. It wasn’t as easy to stick to the diet as she expected. And still can’t eat orange chocolate.

I've just eaten a bag of the chocolate orange snow balls. Started well but now I have a sore tongue!

ADialgaAteMyDog · 03/11/2022 21:16

YABU because they are palm oil ridden lumps of wax now. A Yankee candle would be nicer.

DazzleRazzles · 03/11/2022 21:16

YABU for the attention seeking post

Of course you’re not the only one who has eaten an entire chocolate orange Confused

SkylightSkylight · 03/11/2022 21:16

You're NBU as long as you didn't feel bleurgh. And probably not something you should do every night 🤣but very occasionally, enjoy!!

I usually leave the 'core' and a few segments as I feel a bit bleurgh by then & need a hot cup of tea!

I’ve got a sore tongue too! Why does that happen?

I mean, if you have DC and left them in a corner like starving urchins while you ate the whole thing Miss Trunchbull style "Much too good for children!" then you might, just might, BU.

Otherwise no.

You'd eat a whole orange

I can top this. I've just eaten a dark chocolate one and I feel totally sick 🤢😂

Wishyfishy · 03/11/2022 21:18

I do this all the time 😳

Next time I am about to tuck into a chocolate orange, I will think of this post and feel no shame 🤣

Blowyourowntrumpet · 03/11/2022 21:19

YABU as chocolate oranges are horrible. A large bar of Toblerone on the other hand...

RewildingAmbridge · 03/11/2022 21:20

@MrsGamgee one of your five a day!

Funnily enough I’ve just said to DH I’m going to buy a toblerone for weekend 😂

😂 Love this logic

PinkSyCo · 03/11/2022 21:24

The problem with chocolate oranges these days is that they are too small to only eat half, but there’s no point in leaving a quarter so you HAVE to eat the whole thing. Well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Dark chocolate is healthier than milk chocolate. You should be feeling great!

Chocolate Orange and Toblerone - so many Alan Partridge jokes in this thread

rightkindofwrongg · 03/11/2022 21:29

Agree with pp they are so small now, absolutely acceptable to eat a whole one

Stroopwaffle5000 · 03/11/2022 21:30

YANBU, I do this a couple of times a week. On the other nights I'll eat a big bar of Dairy Milk.

Swearwolf · 03/11/2022 21:36

My kid won a chocolate orange at the school fair in the summer, all the bits were melted together so he ate the whole thing like an apple.

Yanbu.

This is the reason I don't buy them. I have no self control.

Yes, I want to ask if there was any superficial damage to the box.
