No imagination. Either that or there's thousands of vats of orange oil going cheap.

Great idea pham. Choc orange peanuts sounds right up my street.

No no no, Peanuts are the food of the devil, and should be made illegal.

why is it named after a US area? its a UK chocolate product, so thats a little odd

Because florida is sunny, and oranges need lots of sun to grow, therefore this goes wooooh, healthy, even though its chocolate.

I like orange and peanuts but they do need new ideas.... thought the irish cream rolos were a step in the right direction. Maybe not everyone on here liked them but least they were trying something new.

Orange and peanuts are already very popular, so when they stick them in existing products they can be fairly sure they won't be a total flop. I like the sound of these Rolos, I must say


Got to say though, for all our complaints about Nestle, they have been more experimental than most lately - Irish Cream Rolos, Caramac and Christmas Pud KitKats, KitKat editions, Fruit n Nut with peanuts instead of almonds...

Thats a very good point smurfboy. They have ventured out and tried things that are different. And I have been impressed with the amount of white choc products they have brought out. Think it's time Mars and Cadbury be a little more daring. They might be suprised with the results. Orange Flake anyone or a bit of White Galaxy?
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: smurfboy on February 11, 2005, 04:02:41 pm
Apparently there will be three new flake flavours this year - should be interesting. Could definitely go for White Galaxy...
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: kevvosa on February 11, 2005, 06:13:40 pm
There already is a white Galaxy in Australia and a Dark Galaxy...though they go under the name 'Dove'.



I'm guessing one of the Flake flavours will be orange and perhaps one
mint...it just seems logical. I can't see them filling them with cream
or anything like that though.

I managed to get some of these today.. :) Will let you know what I think.

These Rolos are ok. Nothing special. I'm not a big Rolo fan anyway -
the chocolate always tastes bad and so does the toffee. I'd prefer
runny caramel. 
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: salsa on February 12, 2005, 05:13:07 pm

I liked them, i thought they were softer, and juicer then normal rolo's

A dark flake would be nice.


I managed to track down a 4 fingered caramac kit kat, orange rolo's and mint yorkies yesterday in woolworths!

They were in a bin advertised as 'once they are gone they are gone'. But on the packets it doesn't say limited edition.

I went to Woolies yesterday as I'd like to try these, but they had sold out of them None of the other shops seem to sell them. Hopefully they'll get more in.


I did manage to get 3 Creme Eggs for 89p though ... that's a whole 10p cheaper than Tesco. Bargain!

I got mine from a little independant shop.

Post by: chocolate chick on February 17, 2005, 09:27:43 am

I have only seen those 3 bars in Woolworths .


I have found a VERY good sweet shop near me at work. Seems to sell most bars of choc that England make! Found giant smarties and milky bar munchies which I haven't seen for a while and a good range of ritter sport bars. Got the new chocolate creme bar.

Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: salsa on February 17, 2005, 09:29:06 am
Yeah, we have a newsagent like that, it always has something different in, one of the few places that stocks giant buttons all the year around.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 17, 2005, 10:05:57 am
I live in the south-west ... generally the well stocked shops stop where the motorway stops ... a couple of hours away

you dont want to go to Exeter anyway.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: chocolate chick on February 17, 2005, 02:07:29 pm

Yeah this sweet shop has giant buttons in stock. It's not that he sells anything out of the ordinary, he just seems to stock ALL the Cadbury/Nestle/Mars Galaxy range. It's great! Along with Lindt, Rittersport and a few other bits. Oh and the whole poppets range!

Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: salsa on February 17, 2005, 04:03:43 pm
I love minty poppets.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: loulou on February 18, 2005, 01:27:37 am

are they dark choc?

Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 18, 2005, 08:40:59 am

The dark choc on poppets is very shiny.


 

Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: chocolate chick on February 18, 2005, 09:20:53 am
I don't know.....I know it milk choc on the raisins, coconut and toffee ones
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: salsa on February 18, 2005, 05:09:00 pm

coconut poppets??? wow


Its dark chocolate on the peppermint ones.

Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: on February 18, 2005, 10:36:00 pm
These new Rolos were rubbish. Given i don't like fuit and choc together (raisins excepted), no surprise there then.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 28, 2005, 08:26:52 am

I finally found some orange Rolos this weekend and thought they were really nice.


I tried the new caramel Aero too but didn't like it; couldn't taste the caramel for the naff chocolate.  Eugh.


So I ate some Galaxy to take the taste away

Post by: smurfboy on February 28, 2005, 10:38:48 am
Agree with you on both of those Cherry.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: chocolate chick on February 28, 2005, 10:54:14 am
I didn't like the caramel aero either
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: salsa on February 28, 2005, 05:19:03 pm
neither did I, and im an aero fan.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: loulou on February 28, 2005, 09:06:46 pm
Caramel aero is too sickly. I took one bite and binned it.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: kevvosa on February 28, 2005, 09:59:01 pm
I like it. Takes away the taste from the naff chocolate. 
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: loulou on February 28, 2005, 10:14:04 pm
You shouldn't eat it if you don't like the chocolate.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: salsa on March 01, 2005, 12:22:48 am
I dont get the aero chocolate is naff comment :S I likes it alot.

If regular Aeros were in my cupboard I would eat them, I don't think they are that bad.


However the caramel Aero tasted different. Maybe it's something to do with the shape. Or maybe the recipe is different. Either way it tasted nasty.


Plus I had to try it to find out I don't like it!

Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: salsa on March 01, 2005, 05:16:44 pm

I would agree.


Also my sister doesnt like normal aero, but liked the caramel one.


I thought the bubbles were smaller.

At least someone is like me then. I think the chocolate texture is ok
but for some reason normal Aero just doesn't have that yummy factor for
me. But Caramel one does. I don't know why 

Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange
Post by: chocolate chick on March 02, 2005, 01:58:11 pm

I am not keen on the caramel aero and the normal aero buy I love the mint and orange variety.


As I haven't been eating chocolate for lent, I was wondering whether my chocolate taste buds will change. For example will chocolate taste better when I start eating it again on Easter Sunday.

I like the orange aero best.

I hadn't had one for a good few years and I brought one a few weeks ago. And it really is nice. I was very pleasently suprised.

you can have another come Easter sunday

Don't lou, got a load of chocolate indoors just waiting for the magical day to arrive. When I see bars on Special offer I just can't say no! Got a caramac kit kat, mint yorkie and orange rolo's just waiting to be tried for the very first time!

Have you tried woolworths lou? I have also seen them starting to creap into local sweet shops etc too.
Title: Nestle Rolo Florida Orange

My local Woolies always sells out of Caramac Kitkat before anything else. Must be popular.
