Yes, the candy labelled as Smarties in America is just compacted sugar.
If you are looking for a small chocolate in a candy shell, M&Ms are available in America. --- Will the little voice in the back of my mind screaming "This is a bad idea" please yield the floor. --Mikey Chivalry be hanged, and so will you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was always really entertained by the different names for candies when I was living overseas in the UK and South Korea. Walking into a shop and seeing a candy you know but with a slightly different packaging is kind of a mindfuck.

I don't see where the 2 products are connected other than name.that's my point, the misinformation being that Smarties in the US are the same as Smarties elsewhere, just without chocolate inside, which would be either a strange hollow shell, or an absurdly dense tablet to break your teeth on --- In this, the last I see of you Smash the glass to make it meaningful ...

Nestle owns so many food lines, you totally buy their stuff. 99% of the stuff I buy is produce, raw meat, canned foods by Hormel, Campbell's, and Coca-Cola. I don't buy much candy but when I do most of it is made by tootsie. Maybe Nestle has got their hands in supply chains of restaurants I don't know about but I'm not that enthusiastic to research suppliers. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...

Huh. Yeah, they are called Rockets in Canada. I would never see them until Halloween, then I would end up eating them from November 1st to Christmas. Same with Smarties (the chocolate ones). I never see them for sale on candy bar shelves anymore, but come Halloween they are everywhere. I'm old enough to remember when there were no blue Smarties and then they added blue ones and turned it into a whole ad campaign to find blue Smarties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_-2GM9aVfU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYLGKxg4_Ig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qsMHtBmoWc --- "I understand that the world was nothing: a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity on which we stupidly impose our hopes and fears." - Grendel ...

I remember hearing about them maybe 10 years ago or so?? I lose track of time because Im old. US Kinder Eggs are still a little different. Instead of the toy being inside the egg, the "egg" is two halves, with the candy sealed on one side and the toy sealed on the on the other (so the edible parts and the non-edible parts are totally isolated).
