"The Great Kiwi Comeback"? This perplexed me so I did some further digging. Choco-ade were introduced in the 80's in NZ and have been off the market for around two decades. A Kiwi mum, Amber Johnson, started a Facebook page to try and bring back the biscuit. It received over 14000 supporters. She even was on hand during the taste-testing process to ensure that the biscuits perfectly replicated the original.
She fought so hard for them to be sitting in the reject section in Coles. Can't it at least sit amongst the other biscuits in the correct aisle?
The biscuit has an orange flavoured filling and a hard chocolate top encased in a bland and crumbly biscuit. Once you take a bite of all the elements together, its a nice sensation of a perfect chocolate-orange balance. Even though I never grew up with these, the taste is familiar and it's mainly because it tastes like a Jaffa in a biscuit.
Maybe this calls for another trip to Coles before these "rejects" become popular...
