In the spirit of Halloween and all things candy, here are the flavors of the classic Smarties colors: White = Orange-Cream / Yellow = Pineapple / Pink = Cherry / Green = Strawberry / Purple = Grape / Orange = Orange. Green is strawberry-flavored??? In what universe are strawberries green? And since orange is orange, why is white orange-cream? Why not something like coconut? Just wondering. ---

There are not usually any white Smarties. And they come in more colours than that. And they just taste like chocolate. ---

I quoted only the “classic” Smarties flavors, as listed on their site. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > There are not usually any white Smarties. And they come in more colours than that. And they just taste like chocolate. The OP is referencing U.S./Canada Smarties, which are a pressed sugar pill type of candy, not the U.K. Smarties. Anyway, the U.S. Smarties seem to have little flavoring in them. The only one I can tell for sure in a blind taste test is the pineapple. There is an Extreme Sour version, but those are hard to find. ---

You do realize that Smarties, in Canada, are associated with the UK chocolate ones? US smarties are called rockets in Canada. ---
