Stuff and Nonsense

• 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.

I am so confused about the Smarties thing. And then I read in comments that your definition of Smarties contain chocolate? Does not compute.

Woot! for random Robert Patrick sightings!! Sadly, it was a Very short sighting

Everywhere in the world apart from the US, Smarties are a bit like M&Ms but with nicer chocolate. They come in a cylindical cardboard tube with a plastic top. In the US, a company bought the rights to the name Smarties from the owner (Nestle or Rowntrees - whoever it was at the time) and so you have the sugar tablet type sweets instead of the chocolate ones. Or so I'm told!

Sadly it was a short sighting. I was expecting more of him. :(
