Chocolite

  Wait, are chocolate oranges just chocolate formed to look like orange slices? All this time I thought it was oranges dipped in chocolate, which has always disgusted me.

  And in my defense, I’ve always heard it was a British thing. And British food is infamous for being terrible apart from fish & chips

    It's also an American thing. Historically, one would give oranges (citrus, which is ripe late in the year) and chocolate. Somehow that turned into this.

      British food Is not a race, just terrible food nobody should have ever come up with.

      British isn’t a race, it’s a rationality. And as a Brit, British food is horrible, including fish and chips.

      I said it’s infamous for being terrible, i.e. a factual statement about its reputation. I never said that it is terrible because I haven’t really had any.

      Also, you’re trying to be holier-than-thou over a comment about an Empire that opressed half the world up until around 70 years ago? One that continues to idolize “the good old days”? Learn to pick your battles.

      As a Brit I often joke “if you can communicate cleanly with the people making the food, you’re ordering food from the wrong place”

  I can turn an orange into a chocolatey thing in less than a day. And other things too.

  I can’t look at something like a Terry’s Chocolate Orange and see “natural processes”. This was the divine work of Willy Wonka.

    Trust a hexbear to fetishize great men and ignore marginalized African labor. So communist, thanks.

      Ah yes, we should be livid about OP’s post and despise all confections because of the system we live in. How dare anyone ever enjoy chocolate?!

      Touch grass.

  I love chocolate oranges so much, definitely one of the coolest candies up there with cotton candy and pop rocks.

  Going to chose to believe this from now in and never look into it because it brings me pleasure.
