Can I count a Terry's Chocolate Orange as one of my five a day? :confused:

Five of what? Five was an arbitrary number chosen because they reckoned the British would reject any higher a number as just silly. Other countries have higher numbers. But let us think about the 5 for a minute, once upon a time an apple a day kept the doctor away, now it is 5 apples a day. That is 35 apples a week. For a family of 4 that is 140 apples a week. Who the feck has room to store 140 apples each week?

Here in Wales, they count texting someone on Orange as one of their five a day...

Oranges are fruit and cocoa beans are vegetables, so I think you can count it as two!
:thumbsup: Good thinking!

of course it counts as one of your five chocolates a day, you can not get round that by claiming its a fruit

Terry would have been able to before you nicked it, so I don't see why you can't. In fact, it should count as two. Cocoa comes from a bean, doesn't it?

It has cocoa in; cocoa's a bean, so surely it counts as 2 of your 5.

'Twas a dead heat, a tie I tells ye. Those damned hamsters moved me to second due to my earlier reference to SO.
