R.I.P Blue Smarties

[Kell_ee001]

I'm ok with this as long as M&Ms don't do the same

I love peanut M&Ms!

First they scrap the round box's and now this...

They've scrapped the round boxes

Bad news! That was half the fun of smarties!

 

[Chunky]

They're bound to scrap blue M&MS, surely they must be made of the same artificial stuff.

 

[LewisStuart]

Do Smarties have colours?? .... I just pop the tube and drink em

edit: ...what do you mean the tubes are gone

 

[chris_r]

Ah well, no big deal really.

You can always re-create the effect of the "old school" blue smarties by buying a bottle of blue nail polish and painting the other colours blue.

Crying out for media attention tbh First they are replacing the long tube now this!

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

the red ones are made from crushed beatles YES YOUR EATING BEATLE JUICE IF YOU EAT RED SMARTIES!!!

in the same artical...


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

Nothing could make a pot noodle edible, Jesus may have made water into wine, but even he couldn't make an edible pot noodle.

In the words of the immortal Dave Lister when faced with the choice between a pot noodle and dog food
“Well it’s obvious what’s going to be the last thing to be eaten… I can’t stand Pot Noodle!"

The chemicals they had to put in to make them blue were truly terrible by all accounts. I am not "affected" by them but a while ago I read a few things about it which prompted me to avoid them. Totally forgotten exactly what they were, but I trust my judgement at the time

I also tend to avoid MSG although for some things I can make the odd exception.

Considering I eat "badly" I dont do too bad for chemical intake

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 .

That was M&Ms you fool, and i got a phone and over a kilo of smartys because of that

 

[Spunj99]

Outrageous.

There's only one thing to do here, head to Tesco's at lunch and bulk buy like crazy and then hit the 'bay in a couple of months.

 

[Vonhelmet]

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

Holy offtopic pseudo PC ironic statement Batman!

 

[BrightonBelle]

Blue ones are * orange ones are

Does that mean you can't collect the alphabet lids anymore?

That is so wrong!

[Skully]

My brother has a whole jar of blue smarties stored away for safekeeping.

Might Ebay them!

Someone told me that blue m&ms contain an afrodisiac?? Hope they don't get rid of them if thats true

They can do what they want, smarties stopped being smarties when they changed the tubes and got rid of the plastic lids
