'Genius' Terry's Chocolate Orange packaging hack amazes TikTok users

A viral video has revealed a "genius" use for Terry's Chocolate Oranges packaging. Many social media users said they didn't know about the hack, including one who has been enjoying the Christmas time favourite for 50 years.

Neil Adams took to Tik Tok to share the handy use for the plastic inside the box with his 2,700 followers. On his account @michael_adams1138 he posted a video of him demonstrating the feature, which has been viewed more than half a million times.

The video captioned "Chocolate orange display", which can be seen below, shows him opening the iconic box, pulling out the chocolate and removing the plastic it is sat in. As the clip begins, the words "I was today years old when I discovered this feature" are on screen, reported The Mirror.

Neil is then seen bending the sides of the plastic to create a stand and sits the chocolate orange in it. Next, he unwraps the chocolate and shows how the slices can be propped together on the stand to make them easy to eat one by one.

The feature seems obviously once pointed out, but it seems many Terry's Chocolate Oranges fans had no idea the plastic could be used in that way. In the comments, one user replied: "Genius!" and another wrote: "50 years on the planet and still learning."

Someone else posted: "Could've done with this before Christmas! It's gonna be 12 months before I eat another chocolate orange and what're the chances of me remembering?"

One person wrote: "I’m sorry what" and several others commented that they "never knew that". Another commented: "Omg... the amount of these I’ve eaten too."
