The story of Terry's Chocolate Orange Segsations Pouch
The orange that dented the table
Somewhere in your past there is a kitchen table with a small dent in it, and a Terry's Chocolate Orange is responsible. The Segsations pouch carries that same name on the front. It does the rounds of the sofa and comes back noticeably lighter. Nobody took the last one. It simply vanished. The name is the one that lived in your nan's cupboard, and the story behind it starts in York, long before anybody thought of chocolate in the shape of fruit.

Boiled sweets near Bootham Bar
Terry's of York was founded in 1767, in a small shop near Bootham Bar selling boiled sweets and candied fruit. By 1818 it had moved to larger premises in St Helen's Square. Joseph Terry, born in Pocklington in 1793, trained as an apothecary and set up as a chemist in Walmgate before joining the Berry family confectionery business. Chemist to sweet maker is quite a career change. York did not complain: Terry's became part of its famous confectionery triumvirate, alongside Rowntree's and Cravens.
An apple first, believe it or not
The very first Terry's product was in fact a Chocolate Apple, and the brand was originally Terry's Chocolate Apple. Then in 1932 the Chocolate Orange arrived, with its segments and famous tapability, and it was an instant success. The adverts did the rest. 'Tap it and unwrap it' was the polite version. 'Don't tap it...whack it!' was what actually happened in most front rooms, usually with somebody shouting about the table.
Busy life for a piece of fruit
The company passed from the Terry family to Forte Group in 1963, then to Colgate-Palmolive in 1977, United Biscuits in 1982 and Kraft Foods Inc in 1993. Kraft closed Terry's Chocolate Works in York in 2005, and the old factory is luxury apartments now. The business returned to the UK in 2019 as Terry's Chocolate Co, based in London. Terry's is now a Carambar & Co brand, made in Strasbourg, and in October 2025 EU regulators authorised Ferrero's planned acquisition of the parent group, CPK. More addresses than most of us.
