WTF!
Last year, Trader Joe's discontinued their chocolate orange sticks (basically an orange flavored jelly coated in dark chocolate - sounds rambo but they are fucking awesome). Apparently TJs and the candy manufacturer couldn't settle their differences. And many people, like myself, were all butt-hurt about it.
Now, the chocolate orange sticks are back...BUT, they don't taste the same. They look a little bit shorter, and the chocolate coating is thinner and crumbles right off. Also, the orange jelly tastes a bit more tart, and seems to have a more watery consistency once you start chewing it.
Not good times!

I find chocolate and orange to be a highly unappetizing flavor combination. I know that it's a reasonably common one, but I can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Well I can't judge. I hate all things pineapple.
ReplyDeleteYou should return it and attach this review.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Although I'm sort of against returning food when it's not costly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll send them an email...
that's how i feel about TJ's frozen hash brown patties...they used to be nom-nom, but they recently changed (distributors? brands?) to not-so-good.
ReplyDeletebooooo.
Oh snap. Something else to avoid now too!
ReplyDeleteHmm, interesting. I started buying these orange sticks last spring. At first I didn't like them but I somehow became strangely addicted. I buy them in bulk and keep them in the fridge (although my wife points out that they never melt, even on a hot day). I noticed a change in the summer to a more crumbly chocolate...
ReplyDeleteTrue! Perfect description of this strange new version of the TJ chocolate orange stick. Thin, wimpy, falling-off chocolate and a tart, watery orange jelly. It does not come close to the "old" TJ chocolate orange stick. Grrr.
ReplyDeletei wondered if it was just me...guess not.
