sugarpuff's Review of Nestle Smarties

Good Points

They are colourful, fun and have a brilliant tube at the moment.


Bad Points

I am astonished to hear that the packaging is changing, if it isn't broke, don't fix it! :-(


General Comments

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.

    Let me get this straight. You LOVE smarties. They change the package and you will never buy them again? The taste of the product will not change. By this logic you should be buying the tubes on ebay. I don't stop eating something I love because the packaging changes, I'm not eating the package :-s

    I suspect that Didley Squat is very young, not English or both. Not buying Smarties in a tube that isn't a cylinder is a fundamental point of principle. That humble tube was a national treasure! not to be recklessly interfered with by the Swiss. Fortunately, real sweet shops still sell Smarties loose from a jar so the point of principle is, technically, unbroken. Points of principle are very important. I used to enjoy Marathon bars but, since the men from Mars re-named them "Snickers", have ceased to buy them.
