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

    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!

        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.

                      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?

                      Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                            Huh? why would that be any good? no matter what the bridge, the elephant, and the jedi say, it counts as 1, and you should have 5 of them. :)
