TikToker apologises 'to entirety of UK' after incorrectly eating Terry's chocolate orange

A TikToker from New Zealand has posted an apology to the UK after she filmed herself biting into a Terry's chocolate orange - rather than going by segments.

The influencer and mental health activist from Auckland Jazz Thornton took to TikTok to post a video of herself trying some confectionery and foodstuffs from the UK, which included Terry's chocolate orange and Yorkshire Tea amongst many others.

The original video showed her revealing the "Terry's orange chocolate" and then inspecting the chocolate orange and all of its segments before taking a bite instead of the traditional whack-on-a-table method.

i feel bad for no one telling her how to eat it correctly

It’s called Terry’s chocolate orange, shaped like an orange and looks like an orange… so why would you eat it like an apple 😭

[shadowik]

poor thing, she was bullied for not knowing chocolates xD I mean, I eat them all the time, but, she's obviously never seen them before this, thus she had no idea how to eat one! nothing offensive about that 🤣

[TheHummingBirdJaiye]

I mean she just bit into it. This wasn’t necessarily offensive. Apology NOT needed in that case. People are just bullies.

Am also a NZer, just tried one and didn't understand how to eat it either. So I searched for this video as I recalled seeing it somewhere ages ago. Now I know.

[NerdyRodent]

Apology accepted for just stuffing chocolate in your face 😆

[augustwalters]

Unforgivable. Even Canadians know that.

She apologizes like she did a crime!?!? UK is messed up country.

[kingofguam]

I dare say most would have eaten it the same way she did!!! NO apology necessary!!!

[iamdmc]

this is why people can't take new zealand seriously

[mathewlaw]

Uk people screaming at her at the top of their lungs

[SmugSmurf]

I'm American and got upset! 🤣I suppose the short length of the Tiktok videos only gives the performer too short a time to think it through! 🤣

[genardmarquez]

That's how you eat an chocolate orange

[gula_rata]

British colonized New Zealand and in all that time didn't teach them how to eat chocolates??

[JakesWhips]

I thought everyone eats them like this. I put away about 2 or 3 an hour on Christmas Day eating them like this

[MertBey]

Thats like biting the whole kebab on the spike.

[SkiddyBeef]

How the hell is that offensive also that isn’t just in the uk

[TheoHuxtible]

I got a chocolate orange 🍊 in New York.

[BLURTHEGHOST]

That made me hungry, that's for sure

[cafezo]

She's cute and you know she didn't mean anything by it
