Smarties.....and I'm not the only one
Smarties were introduced in 1937 and are still the most popular sweet and one of Nestlé’s major confectionary brands. Smarties are manufactured in York, England.
Smarties are brightly colored, sugar coated sweets with a milk chocolate center. The mix comprises eight colors - red, yellow, orange, green, mauve, pink, brown and blue. The orange sweet has orange flavoring in the chocolate center.
Some interesting Smarties facts:
* Nearly 17,000 Smarties are eaten every minute in the UK.
* Nestlé Rowntree has produced 5,000 million Smarties caps over the last 25 years.
* When production of Smarties resumed after the Second World War, Smarties were made with plain chocolate because of the shortage of milk.
* If the Smarties eaten in one year were laid end to end it would equal almost 102,000 km and if they were put in tubes and these put end to end it would equal almost 29,000 km.
