Yes they did taste like chocolate orange IMO.
Cannot say 'do' as I havent tasted them for a while.

[phi-dan]

The blue ones tasted of orange too.

[Reeder]

When I had eaten them I always enjoyed using the smarties tubes to shoot the lids at people when I was younger :)

that was the best thing about them :D
i always had the lids taken away :(

[Reeder]

I also used to keep them in my mouth to heat the chocolate inside, then split it open around the edge with my teeth and suck out the chocolate, and put the sides back together and pretend it was normal (albeit with no colour). Yes, I did have a sad childhood.

[tom-k6]

half the time i never even got to eat a single one......i used to just pour the whole tube in my mouth and eat the lot in one fell swoop.

oh the good times,
and reeder, i do sort of the same thing with pringles, except i put a whole one in my mouth and move it round without breaking it to get all the flavour off it.

we are all sad

Wadda ya mean when you were younger :p You've only just got out of your school uniform youngman :-D















When I was younger, say 40years ago, they did taste of orange, and the bleedy tubes were much bigger, as were curly wurlies :mrgreen:

That's not chocolate.

Try http://www.seventypercent.com/ and buy something special. Yes it's pricey, but one piece really cures the "I need chocolate" craving.

Give it a go. You'll never believe how good real chocloate is.

Pete ;)

[thulfi]

wagon wheels, yeh bigger and dirtier.

[Reeder]

ERGH. I hate strong chocolate pete!

Mavic - Curly wirlys are the best ever <3

Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember when they first arrived in the shops and the Terry Scott adverts on the TV.

Of course they were 10ft long when they were first introduced :cyclopsani:

Only Smarties have the answer;)

Nope they have never tasted of chocolate orange. They're from a totally different company. Terrys. Smarties are Nestle.
They have a funny taste do smarties, and I cannot give you the answer, as Willy Wonka DB division don't make them. However you might want to ask DanF1234 or whatever hes called, as he works for Willy Wonka head office, and might be able to tell you!
