Smarties - The end of the Tube
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4276553.stm
No more tubes of smarties. No more lids with alphabets. 
Hexagonal pages with flip top lids. Why o Why

Re: Smarties - The end of the Tube
"Remain fresh to youngsters" my arse. They can make the product cheaper that way. Amongst other things, the packaging is now all in one.
It is a shame, although things change and move on. Still, I am not going to lose any sleep over it.

I've spent the last 32 years building a two storey house for my family entirely out of Smarties tubes, using the lids as flooring, paving stones and a driveway. I estimated to be finished by 2008, but if the hexagons come in, I'm going to have to redo the whole roof.

Re: Smarties - The end of the Tube
