I bought a Terry's mint-flavoured chocolate orange, with the thought process being hey, I like chocolate oranges, I like mint chocolate, let's give it a go.

A week or so later I saw it in the cupboard and had a horrible thought: is it orange AND mint? What kind of monstrosity have I purchased here? Is this going to be like a Vegemite Tim Tam?

Upon closer examination I can confirm, no, just mint, but shaped like an orange because Reasons. So you can all relax, I'm sure that was stressing other people too.

This made me check the two I had and they are definitely orange. Then I had a brilliant thought, what if I somehow shoot them open with my salt gun?

Update: experiment did not work. Salt gun not powerful enough. Terry's #1 is too heavy. Terry's #2 will have more thought to it.

I thought about rolling it down some pvc piping onto some concrete

Sledgehammer. It’s the only way to get to the chocolatey goodness

That combo would be like OJ and toothpaste
