Okay, I'll bite . Intriguing title, that. As long as it's not Chocolate and Cream .

Hi Giner

Being a guzzler of Terry's Chocolate Oranges, and I'm sure others on the forum are as well. I just thought I'd post this under 'General Chat' as a point of general interest.

For something that used to be in my Christmas stocking as a child, the 'Orange' has for some time been made in Poland. It just isn't the same and like other things, it has shrunk in size. Nothing is sacred anymore.

Now Fry's Chocolate Creme is another thing. You don't see that anymore.

A favourite of mine, too. Made in Poland? Yikes, I'm curious now as to where our 'Canadian' Terry's chocolate oranges are made.

No way I could destroy that fountain xD

That fountain is not right - the segments always break off before the centre to leave the 'spine', which never tastes quite the same as the segments.

Presumably because it is now manufactured in Poland, the scale and consequently size has shrunk to HO and of course since it exists in 3 dimensions it is smaller by (76/87)*3 ? So is it now a Choco Orang

I heard on the radio a couple of days ago that the sales of Cadbury's Creme Eggs have taken a tumble since Cadbury's changed the taste of the chocolate and fondant creme filling by using cheaper ingredients.

Also heard on the radio about a week ago that a guy has or is on the verge of producing chocolate that doesn't melt even under heat so the old put down of something being as useful as a 'chocolate fireguard' presumedly won't apply anymore?.

How old are they? You could send off for them and just get the wrapper.

Does anyone remember Five Boys Chocolate?

^ Vaguely.

One of my favourites was a Fry's Chocolate Sandwich (I think that's what it was called). It was two layers of milk chocolate with a layer of dark chocolate in the 'sandwich'.

Fry's chocolate & peppermint creams are always nice so was the one with different centres such as Strawberry Lime Orange i havan't seen them around for years now??.

Ay up!

Sainsbury's recently tried to revive the choc sandwich in it's own brand range but, despite my best efforts, to no avail and they were dropped quite quickly. It may sound gross BUT the sweetness of the white choc (has to be Nestle for me, less sugary than most) is balanced beautifully by the bitterness of the dark choc.

Another option was two layers of milk choc sandwiching a layer of plain. Yum!

Never been a fan of white choccy meself. I used to buy a Milky Way for the kids. They liked it, and they knew Dad wouldn't be going "gizzabit".

BTW, can you still get Wagon Wheels in the UK?
