I remember buying Smarties in boxes a long time ago, and I mean 30 years plus!  I preferred them cos you used to get more

Smartie tubes are even older than I am!   I can remember the anticipation of prising off a Smartie lid - will it be a "p" or a prized "Z"?


Nestle is a gob-sh*tting parasite company. Whatever next??

No its not just you Lou. A whole alphabet set of caps went on eBay the other day.


Do you know how much they went for?

Oh nooo, no more pouring a whole tube down my throat anymore :(



I'll have to pick them out of a silly box instead. I used to love
puttting my tubes on our open fire as a kid. They would smoke at the
top like a chimney

I see loads of people are jumping on the bandwagon and advertising tubes of Smarties on ebay at 99p, some with the 'rare orange cap'?  I think I'll resist!

I can't remember how much they went for. But old wrappers can really be worth some money.
