"Whack It... Don't Tap It!"
What I like about it? Well, it's orange flavored chocolate which is yummy. One or two wedges will do me all day. Hello, it's milk chocolate. What's not to love.
This delectable chocolate originated in the UK and used to only be available seasonally here but it has since become so popular it is available year round in many countries.
They make hilarious commercials (as you will see below) to promote it. One of my favorite involves a young chap sitting in his livingroom, bored and about to whack his orange (get your mind out of the gutter). He whacks his Terry's Chocolate Orange so hard that the lady in the apartment above falls through the ceiling with her tub where she's having a bubble bath (mind can return to the gutter). Totally cute and works with one of their slogans: "When you whack a Terry's Chocolate Orange, Good Things Happen".
Over the last few years they've come out with a few other flavors but I'm a purist and stick with the original chocolate orange.
If you haven't tried Terry's and you like milky chocolate then I highly recommend you try it this Christmas.
Below you will find 10 ways to eat your Terry's Chocolate Orange. Enjoy!

in reply to JaguarJulie It depends where you live. In some places it is just available at Christmas and New Years. And in others, like here it's available all year round except more expensive than at Christmas or New Years. I checked the Amazon link last in Spring and they had restocked. It was a good price, something like $3 a ball. Keeping watching!

Wow! I had never heard of this delectable treat -- and really love that Harrison Ford-like commercial. I see that Amazon has listed this as "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available." So, this is only available at certain times of the year? How much should I expect to pay for it. I want to try it! Yumm.

Do you know that in the UK we can get Terry's Chocolate Orange as normal chocolate bars? It means we don't have to wait until Christmas.
My favourite advert is the Dawn French one where she says "It's not Terry's its mine!"
I've got cravings now ...

Here are a few links I found that sell these. Though I don't know if they ship outside Canada ... I do know the first link is charging about double what you'd pay in the store, so you have to really want it. haha
