This thread has a dual purpose : First, instead of bumping the old thread, I thought I’d thank **Nunavut Boy** for my candy here. I wasn’t expecting to get it so soon. I am ashamed to say I haven’t even sent yours yet because I can’t decide what to send. I promise I’ll send it soon. The second purpose is to say how much I love Smarties! I’m not talking those kind of powdery ones we have in the US. I’m talking the chocolate one from Canada. I can best describe them as kind of like M&M’s but so much better. I can actually taste the flavor of the candy coating and the cocolate tastes way better. I haven’t even tried anything else the box but if all the chocolate is of the same quality, I know I’m going to enjoy it all. thankyouthankyouthankyou! 😃 ---

How. Dare. You. Insult the sugary holiness that is American-style smarties? Just imagining the sweet goodness forming that pleasant yet deliciously almost-painful tang on the tip of the tongue is nearly orgasmic. mmmmmmm… Smarties… ---

For the record, the proper name for those powdery-sugary things is Rockets. I like M&Ms better than Smarties, but every now and then Smarties make a nice change. The candy flavour is far more prominent, and the way they crunch being flatter appeals to me somehow. ---

Just to clarify, I actually love Smarties (or Rockets). My mom always has a bowl of them on her coffee table and it’s usually one of my first stops after hugging her. 😃 ---

Mmmm, smarties. Me luvs 'em (both ours and your rocket ones). Great, now I’ve got a chocolate craving, and I am so not going downstairs to get some. Junk food does not last long enough in this apartment. ---

I just found this thread. You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the Smarties! Have you tried any of the other stuff yet? How’d you like them? ---

I love Smarties too. The Canadian branch of our company sends them to us sometimes, but I don’t know how to obtain more (lots more!) on my own. Anybody know of a place online where I can order them? ---

Anybody know of a place online where I can order them? [http://www.canadianfavourites.com/store/chocolate.html](http://www.canadianfavourites.com/store/chocolate.html) I offer no guarantee or reccomendation other than to point out that they exist. I **do** reccomend the french vanilla coffee crisps, however. ---

Wow! I’m not sure I trust myself around an entire case of Smartie goodness, but I’m seriously considering ordering it anyway. ---

I loved (almost) everything. I don’t remember what it was called but the one that was kind of jelly covered in chocolate was a bit strange. Everything else was great. Those Aeros, especially the mint were awesome. I was a bit worried about that coffee crunch but it was very good. Thanks again. I haven’t looked at the disksyet but I plan to tomorrow. I’m going to send your candy on Friday. Unfortunatley, I haven’t had a chance to do it yet. I promise it will go out this week though. I think I might get a case of the Smarties. My coworkers would probably like them too.
