I don't know anything about the British chocolate ones, but our Smarties are just like Paula described. When I was very young, my dad kept the ashtray of his car filled with rolls of Smarties, it was my reward for not making the drive miserable. I still love them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-5754930163273850282007-05-16T14:04:00.000+01:002007-05-16T14:04:00.000+01:00Hmm, am I thinking of Sweet-Tarts?

Basil, in growing agitation and anger (as he was prone to have) says between clutched teeth, "What shape were you expecting? Mickey Mouse shape? Smarty shape? Amphibious Landing Craft shape?"<BR/><BR/>Good times. <BR/><BR/>Ook ook.<BR/><BR/>PS: I now assume Smarties are some sort of candy.The Fez Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032327740040303468noreply@blogger.com
