Is it TRUE?

[Team J and B 2]

I have browsed the candy aisles of a few places, and I've noticed there's no Smarties!

Is it true? I thought I read another thread where someone casually mentioned lack of ketchup chips (I know that) and Smarties in this country.

No! Yes? No! Oh noes, where can I find?

On that note, no Centrum Materna here either! What da? There's every other Centrum in every store except Materna! What da?!

What kind of Smarties? Chocolate or the chalk-like fruit-flavored kind? The US sells the chalky kind, but if you're looking for the chocolate ones, you'll have to either find a store that sells Canadian brand candy or import it. (Can't you just buy some M&Ms?) LOL

yeah no Smarites but I prefer M&M's anyways.. and yes I am Canadian

smarties coating is too sweet...

Oddly enough, I asked this to my husband last night, and he said its false you can get Smarties in the US. Or at least you could in WA and AK.

is he thinking of these?

just found this...

Smarties are not distributed in the United States, except by specialist importers. The Ce De Candy company manufactures a hard, tablet sweet under the name Smarties, which is unrelated to the Nestlé product.

I mean the chocolate Smarties, like M&Ms but sweeter, bigger, flatter; they come in a box. Quite disappointed I am.

M&Ms just ain't the same. =(

yes you are right.. M&m's are better ....lol

I think some people are just nostalgic over the Smarties because you can't get them into the US.. lol

I've always been a Smarties fan. Love the thick sweet candy coating. It tastes so fake I love it. Peanut M&Ms are yummy.

I had never noticed the lack of Smarties here, otherwise I would have packed a whole bunch like I did ketchup chips!

Well, thanks for the replies. I'll be stocking up on my next visit.

Hmmmm - I'll have to clarify - I always thought those were called Rockets. I'll ask him again tonight. He's gonna wonder if I'm preggers and having cravings for Smarties.

I like Smarties better than M&Ms. Also love the Rockets/Smarties - they make me think of Halloween.

yeah those are called Smarties down here...

[Krikit 1,164]

Ugh. I had a HUGE craving for Smarties yesterday.

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

Those are rockets!!!

[Carlawarla 1]

In Canada we call them Rockets, and I only remember them at Halloween. What Canadians call Smarties might be found somewhere in the US, but I've never seen them. Just like Marilyn loves to tell us that M&M's are better...I say Smarties are, because you can paint your lips with the red ones!

I buy Smarties (the chocolate kind) at Cost Plus World Market in th British section. They are expensive, but worth it. I LOVE Smarties.
