These included the Dessert Chocolate Apple ( 1926 ), Terry 's All Gold ( 1931 ) and the Chocolate Orange ( 1932 ). At the onset of World War II, confectionery production was immediately halted. The factory was taken over by F. Hills and Sons of Manchester as a shadow factory to manufacture and repair aircraft propeller blades. With the factory handed back to the company post-war, production was difficult due to continued rationing in the United Kingdom, and limited imports of raw cocoa. In 1954, production of the chocolate apple was phased out in favour of increased production of the chocolate orange. In the North American market, where it has had a variety of importers over the years, it was briefly sold as a Tobler ( maker of the Toblerone ) product. Chocolate oranges appeared on the South Korean market in the GS25 chain of convenience stores in 2017. Korean packaging Since 2005 and the closure of the Terry factory in York, Chocolate Orange products have been manufactured near Jankowice, Poland. In 1979, Terry 's launched the Chocolate Lemon, but it was withdrawn three years later. Structure Terry 's Chocolate Orange Bar, a chocolate bar version of the Chocolate Orange The Terry 's Chocolate Orange comprises an orange - shaped ball of chocolate mixed with orange oil, divided into 20 segments, similar to a real orange, and wrapped in orange - skin patterned foil. When packaged, the segments are stuck together firmly in the centre ; therefore, prior to unwrapping, the ball is traditionally tapped severely on a hard surface to cause the segments to separate from each other ( dubbed `` Tap and Unwrap '' or `` Whack and Unwrap '' ). Spin - offs There have been a number of spin - off products, currently including : Chocolate Orange bar : a bar of six segments, initially produced with smooth vertical segments ( similar to a Toblerone bar ), then, later, with textured segments that mimic the traditional orange shape. Chocolate Orange minis : a bag of small segments Chocolate Orange White Eggs : egg - shaped white - chocolate versions of Chocolate Orange that were available for one Easter Segsations : individual segments of chocolate in different flavours, including : milk chocolate, puffed rice, honeycomb, cornflake, white chocolate and a `` double seg '' of layered milk and dark chocolate, all flavoured with orange oil. Segsations Mini Eggs : individual foil - wrapped eggs of chocolate in same flavours as Segsations, for Easter Chocolate Orange -- Egg & Spoon : a milk chocolate egg filled with an orange fondant filling ( similar to Cadbury 's Creme Egg ) Advertising The Chocolate Orange product is known for its unusual marketing, which is usually at its heaviest around Christmas. At one time it was estimated that the Chocolate Orange was found in a tenth of British Christmas stockings. Actress Dawn French has fronted numerous campaigns for the brand, often in a posed scene of defending and hiding `` her '' Chocolate Orange from others. Famous marketing phrases include : Tap it and unwrap it ( since replaced with `` whack and unwrap '' ) It 's not Terry 's, it 's mine Do n't tap it... Whack it ! More recent advertisements ( after the rebranding ) do not feature French and contain the new slogan `` Round but not round for long '' ( some include the Countdown theme tune ). The newest advertising campaign in the United Kingdom features various situations in which people are trying to break the segments of their Terry 's Chocolate Orange apart with the slogan `` Smash it to pieces, love it to bits ''.
