Smarties

[Big Jeff]

I’ve just had a tube of Smarties. First time for years. The tube was not round it was hexagonal and it did not have the plastic lid.

38g in the tube. They were ok but my memory of them was nicer than the crushing blow of reality.

What else do you think is not as good as it was?

Do you still get a letter if the alphabet on the underside of the lid?

No lid. Just a little card board flap. No letter but it tells you to recycle on the lid.

Found they didn't taste very nice. Just tasted of processed sugar rather than caramel toffee and chocolate.

As a bairn I used to put several packets in the microwave and eat the melted goo with a spoon. Was class. I would put on weight just thinking about it now.

Used to play a tube of smarties for hours as a kid firing the plastic lid across the room.
