I always have a tube of smarties on my person and I am always so happy when I walk into a shop and see the smarties on the shelf. It is all I can do to contain myself from buying the whole shelf.

Bring back the blue Smartie! I love the blue ones.

As a 26 year old Nestle Smartie veteran, I find it somewhat disconcerting that I am still unable to identify whether the different colours are flavoured differently. I am quite sure that the orange ones are and possibly even the brown, which have the flavour of a brown dolly mixture. I have registered already my dislike of the new packaging (see above), but I understand that I am a traditionalist and shall leave judgement for the new breed of Smarties consumers - the children. To that end, I would like to say 'well done Nestle and continue the good work'.

My girlfriend wooed me when she came back from Australia with a bottle of chablis and a tube of smarties. They are the perfect chocolate companion to pricy wine and much fun can be had by (when finished) squashing the tube and seeing the lid (entertainment itself in guessing what the letter is on it) fly off in a random direction.

Nestle Smarties new tube is not resealable!

I don't think I would mind the change of the Nestle Smarties tube too much if it wasn't for one thing - the lid. I have collected these for years and have a large collection, and now the orange lids we all know and love are coming to a very tragic end, I won't be able to complete my alphabet collection! Even though we can all buy the entire collection on Ebay, is it not more special to say that we ate thousands of these little colourful creations? Smarties are a part of our culture, and by changing the packaging now, the smarties eaten per minute (currently 17000!) will decrease suddenly. Rest in Peace traditional smarties packaging.
