Does anyone know where I could buy a large quantity of Smarties from? I can only find them available in normal tube size at around 50p each. Looking for a couple thousand Smarties. I did have a search on Google for bulk smarties but didn't find anything useful.

Thanks,

are M&M's and smarties made by the same company? my missus bought me a large metal box of M&Ms back from a holiday she went on and some of them were wierd flavours inside and looked just like smarties.

the shop was like a large pick'n'mix but they only sold M&M's

Go into an Asda and find an offer for (lets say) 5 packs of smarties. Then take them to the checkout but ask for 4 tubes of smarties. They will say 'dont you mean 5' and give you the full selection, but they will have the number 4 in their head and will only charge you for that. Bingo, you get a free tube of smarties. Do that 400 times and you will have 2000 tubes of smarties but will only have paid for 1600.

You're welcome.

No, M&M's are so, so much better. Smarties have never been quite as good, but they got worse once they started obsessing over making them all-natural and good for you. It's chocolate, nobody wants it to be good for them.

Aren't M&M's Mars and Smarties Nestle?

Edit --

Appears I am right, being Fat has one advantage! Now if I could only pick the tube up off the floor!
