I believe I have heard of that before. Interesting name for these.

Rockets taste better than (US) Smarties too. Try them back-to-back in a blind taste test if you ever get a chance and judge for yourself.

The funny thing is, some of the US candies are made in Canada, and you can taste the difference between them and the US-made ones.

Source: grew up in the US, but dated a Canadian in the 00's. I preferred Rockets so much that I'd buy them from Canada to eat when I got back to the US. That, and maple candy. And All Dressed chips.

These are the infamous grandma candies that I can never find.

Truth be told, I buy Smarties as well. Now as far as butterscotch, I do not buy that mess. Not for me. Haha, that type of treat on Halloween would be a curse.

9 out of 10 dentists approve! They have to send their kids to college, too.

They really are good. I also like the large chewy ones as well; I forget the names of those.

I have bought literal tons of smarties.

You haven't lived until you've bought a bag for yourself, ate through the whole thing while pulling an all-nighter reading a great novel, and then called out of work the next day.

I'm pretty sure the point of those little wax bottles has never been to be "candy," but rather to be sensory stimulation for kids too old to put random objects in their mouths.

Just rewatched Groundhog Day. Bill Murray is a national treasure

The nestle corporation has a chokehold on nonamerocans, who seem to think smarties are chocolate. Theyve always been delightfully chalky little sugar circles to us.

Them and necco wafers are my favorite candies.
