This is just wrong!

While looking through the Sainsbury's christmas catalogue that came with the paper yesterday, I saw advertised a special offer for Chocolate Oranges of all varieties. There was the original milk chocolate one, the dark chocolate one and the latest addition to the range, a mint flavoured one.

You read me right. A chocolate orange that is actually mint. Not orange at all. Yet still being marketed as a Chocolate Orange. Which leads one to ask: WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF CALLING IT A CHOCOLATE ORANGE IF IT ISN'T ACTUALLY ORANGE FLAVOURED?!

Ok, so maybe "Chocolate Mint" doesn't have the same ring to it. But if you make it in the shape of an orange and market it as a Chocolate Orange, people are going to think it is one, right? So they are going to feel cheated if they open it and eat it only to find it tastes of mint and not orange, aren't they? Especially if they don't like mint.
