Choc ice

On 14 July 2012 the term 'choc ice' became the focus of a racism row when footballer Rio Ferdinand seemingly endorsed a tweet by a Twitter user who had used the term pejoratively in criticising fellow footballer Ashley Cole, suggesting Cole was figuratively "black on the outside, white on the inside".

The equivalent in France for the term black outside and white inside is the Bounty, a chocolate bar consisting of coconut inside while the U.S. English equivalent is Oreo.
