• OMG. Smarties are going to be changing to hexagonal tubes and losing the top with the letter on. Woe!

ETA: The comments on that article are great. "Why?! Why?! Why have they done this? Only Smarties have the answer!" says Alex Moon of Reading UK and Richard, UK says "This is a disgrace! I suggest we organise an immediate boycott of all Nestle products." Heh. Indeed.


• I discovered that Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau and Morena Baccarin are apprentice Jedi Chefs. Classic.


• I've just watched this weeks Lost and it had Robert Patrick in it! Very random. It continues to be fabulous. 


• The Shakespearean Insulter. Linked to by niannah, that puking onion-eyed harpy. Endless hours of fun.

Ha. My first thought at that first link was that Smarties have always come wrapped in plastic. Then I clicked the link and realized that Smarties in Europe are something completely different from Smarties in America. Weirdos.

Now I have a craving for a candy I can't even get in my country. Thanks for that. :-P

What are Smarties in the US then? And I think you'll find that you're the weirdos!

And no problem!

Well, yes, we are quite weird. But that's beside the point. :-P Smarties are basically colored sugar tablets and each color is a different flavor. They've been my favorite candy since I was a kid, despite being made almost entirely of dextrose.

Strange! Smarties without chocolate. What will you think of next?

They've been my favorite candy since I was a kid, despite being made almost entirely of dextrose.

Surely being made entirely of dextrose is a prerequisite to being the favourite sweet of a child...
