Three - plain fondant filling (I don't know what flavour that is supposed to be) orange and peppermint. They are a sad shadow of their former selves.


I have a question to pose - the orange flavour bar was introduced after they got rid of the multi-flavoured bar. WHY? If the fruit flvaours didn't sell, why introduce orange? I think I know why - manufactering costs! It's nothing to do with how popular the bar is, it's to do with how easy and cheap it is to make.

Well if a bar isn't popular enough to justify the costs of production, what do you expect?

Do you think that Five Centres wasn't popular enough? How many orange flavour bars do you think they sell? More than the Five centres? I doubt it!

Do you think they sat down with Frys Five Centres and took a vote on the most popular flavour because I don't think orange was it.

No. I think they just thought well every other chocolate bar comes with mint and orange varieties so we'll do the same to be on the safe side!

You know me well enough to know I don't think it was unpopular - I loved it. But if something is difficult, and therefore expensive, to make, it has to be hugely successful. Orange bars are popular; why do you think Terry's stopped making the Chocolate Apple and Lemon? Why do you think most fruit variations on bars are orange? (Wispa Orange, Aero Orange, Twix and Drifter Orange, Rolo Orange...)

Yes, I do, but haven't found anyone else who does!


There was a milk version with plain chocolate in the middle and a plain version with milk chocolate in the middle. I even remember a mint version with plain chocolate top and bottom and a white mint filling in the sandwhich!


I wasn't being funny about Frys Five Centres Smurfy - and I agree with you that if manufactering became difficult, the popularity would have to be huge to keep them going - that's what I was trying to (badly) say- they were popular but modern day costs put the kybosh on them!
