R.I.P Blue Smarties

Chunky · 8 May 2006 at 20:57

I'm not a very happy bunny atm, they're stopping making blue smarties (my fave) and replacing them with white ones!! So who cares if they use artificial colouring, everyone knows what smarties are made from when they buy a pack. I wanna know the person responsible for this so that I can have a little chat with them. :mad:

I presume they're making black and various shades of brown now to make it ethnically balanced.

Blue are cool - but E-Numbers are bad, well they drive a girlI know round the bend at least.

WHAT!? Thats ridiculous! They DO taste different to others and in a damn good way. I remember they did those black and white packs for a while, they tasted like beige

.

Lets make one of those polls on the internet tbh, get the blue smarties back.

If it's only blue Smarties that have artificial colouring in them.. Then what the hell do the others have in them?

aslong as the orange ones are still there im cool with it

*loves white smarties*

And to be fair blue smarties did have the weird knack of making people hyper

Got a mate at work that's still affected by them

Meanwhile, the Pot Noodle is to be relaunched as a healthy snack without artificial chemicals and preservatives.

but its all the crap in it that makes them sooo nice

McDaniel · 8 May 2006 at 21:04

although i love the colour blue, we all know only orange smarties taste different, so no major loss

lemonkettaz · 8 May 2006 at 21:06

"Artificial colourings and flavourings in sweets have been linked with child hyperactivity and behaviour problems."
...and it has nothing to do with the sugar? Still, at least it's the right "direction" I guess.

Seb · 8 May 2006 at 22:45
