HAve ther got "um wel a SMALLER BOX so there less in them>?
-
No they are just in hexatubes now, I dont think they have less in them.
-
it another clever ploy to cut cost i say
-
Probably. I preferred normal tubes, they were easier to pour the Smarties into your mouth with!
-
When i was small, if you went to the cinema, on rare occasions, i would be given a square box of Smarties. A whole square box! If Iu was really lucky, it would be a box of fruit pastilles. They would last a few days. Does anyone remember these boxes? In those days, that was a real treat.
-
Oh yes! And somehow Smarties always tasted better from the boxes. The bonus with fruit gums in a box was that you got an extra flavour too - strawberry as well as raspberry (or was it raspberry as well as strawberry?). Anyway - two different red ones.
Mine never lasted a few days though....
-
I remember the boxes of fruit pastilles etc, they made them not too
long ago. Boxes of Smarties are still made, I see them in
Morrisons.
-
The boxes always used to feel so special. I think the boxes are still avaliable in some places?
-
Mmm yes, they were a rare and special treat. I'd forgotten about the extra flavour! Pls the fruit pastilles were oblong and bigger 
I miss Fruit Pastilles 
-
Don't cry smurfy

-
Aww, thanks Choccy Chick 
I'll stop if Nestle learn how to make pastilles without gelatine!
-
Yes! I remember the different shape of the fruit pastilles in the box.
I loved the lime falvoured ones and the lime fruit gums.
Nestle Fruit Pastilles.
It sounds so wrong I could cry.
-

-
They still brand them as Rowntrees.
-

Gelatine.

We still have the boxes in Canada. But we also have "grab and go" cups, and large bags. And Smarties bars, too.
