Smarties have changed their round tube to a hexagonal one. Now I won't be able to fire those lovely lids all round the room now. Plus I might forget my alphabet.

Stupid Nestle. I grew up on these and they form part of my early childhood.

Smarties in the US are sweet/sour type things, like sweet tarts.  I had no idea was you were talking about for a second...

I heard about this on the radio this morning. Don't give up hope yet. It's quite likely that public opinion will force them to change back to the old tube. Smarties come in round tubes with little plastic caps. Every kid knows that.

Bwah, forget about smarties! There's always m&m's... Or did they just change the name of the product where I live? hmmm... make me wonder...

Nope, they seem to be around since the 40's

M&Ms are American, Smarties are British!
I heard about this today, ruddy Swiss chocolate makers, you can't trust them further than you can spit Switzerland Of course if they send me lots of free chocolate for testing I might revise my opinion (its got to be worth a try)

 Here's a bit about Smarties for guys who live on planets outside our solar system and have never heard of 'em....

.....Smarties were introduced in 1937 and are still the most popular sweet and one of Nestl

So as the common saying goes (and as I also saw on the site)

Don't tell that to the so called MARKETING CONSULTANTS who are paid millions to tell us what we want.

Give it a couple of months and they'll be in round tubes again. After all, anyone remember when Kelloggs changed the name of Coco Pops in the Choco Crispies?

O.K. smarties, what's the best selling chocolate bar (gross sales) in the world, bar none? (pun intended)

....KitKat....bar none...lol ..commoner

They changed it. !! GODAMNIT ! They jus decleared WAR ! I used to love those circular tubes ! .

Thats a point Commoner. They changed the Kit-kat slogan not too long ago too.

Can someone find a petition somewhere against Nestle to get the tubes changed back?

If not, who's up for writing angry letters!

They also changed the wrappers didn't they - I'm sure they've changed them back now to the original foil now...

Anyway, these Swiss people who keep messing with our choccy bars, Nestle, how about a Marmalading?

Remember when Heinz threatened to drop salad cream from their range... ::)...!
..."lack of demand..", they said...RUBBISH... ...!

An almighty hue and cry from we salad munching types, and they quickly changed their minds... ... ...!

Power to the people... ...!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul...I like the brown Smarties the best... ... ...!
