Terry’s Chocolate Orange have tried to switch things up by bringing out a new flavour of their iconic citrus-shaped snack, but a lot of fans aren’t having any of it.

Its quality and deliciousness has remained tried and trusted throughout the years, but that hasn’t stopped Carambarco – the manufacturer behind the brand – from experimenting with different flavours and concepts.

Then, in 2023, Terry’s went beyond the original orange flavour for the first time ever, bringing out the Terry’s Chocolate Mint ball.

This week, however, shoppers have been left outraged after a new variation appeared in B&M stores across the country.

Introducing the Terry’s ‘Chocolate Milk’ without the orange.

Naturally, fans of the cult classic treat were outraged – and many were left wondering whether there was any point in it without the key ingredient.

    If they had any sense, they would release a chocolate orange that doesn’t have milk ingredients. Too many people can’t have milk due to intolerance and allergies nowadays, and I miss being able to enjoy chocolate oranges around Christmas.

      recently became lactose intolerant (and less recently became disgusted with the dairy industry in my country) so I too would be excited about non dairy chocolate oranges

      (though heavy metal contamination of many cocoa brands scares me too…)

      The alternative to dairy milk is either a different milk like goat milk (which is why American chocolate tastes the way it does) or some emulsified oil like palm oil. Neither are great and would make a noticeably poorer chocolate.

        Not necessarily. I have had plenty of very good chocolate that uses cocoa butter and/or plant milks like oat milk in place of dairy. Or they could make their dark chocolate orange without milk with little to no difference in taste and texture.

        What do all the vegan chocolate brands use? I assumed oat, but now I realise I may be wrong.

    Outraged fans

    The original flavour is still available and no one is forcing you to eat the new one, so…

      Yeah no one cares. It just seems like a bit of a pointless product but I guarantee literally no one cared.

      Also it’s only available in B&M stores and in the place like that you’ll just be happy that you got a named brand product, and not some cheap knockoff brand.

    Remember when a chocolate orange didn’t have fucking hollowed-out concave segments? I do Terry, you greedy prick.

    This isn’t the first time they had a non-orange ball. I remember raspberry flavored ones in the early 2000s and Wikipedia has a whole list of flavors, unless I’m not understanding what they meant.

    EDIT: This was also in the USA. I didn’t realize what instance I was on. I don’t know what you had.

    I would be happy with a fruit and nut one.

    The issue with cadburys fruit and nut bars is that the individual squares are so small that they’re practically all a piece of fruit or a piece of nut and very little chocolate (biggest first world problem ever). Seems like the chocolate orange slices would be large enough to fix this problem.

    Just eat a satsuma with slightly cooled pieces of cadburys twirl (the separate pieces in a bag, not a bar). Vastly superior imho…

    They’re always doing this pish. I once accidentally bought one that had popping candy in it and it was boke.

      I love finding all the weird experimental stuff in Home Bargains, like the Jaws and Back To The Future cereal (Jaws is sea-creature shapes rather than human limbs, sadly).
