Also a little confused by the dislike for the generally inoffensive Smarties I googled it and it turns out Smarties are a different thing in the US. Just looked up U.S. smarties, they are totally different. Look a bit like some sweets we get here which the name of escapes me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Ok. The US Smarties looks a bit like Love Hearts or something. If I may be crude for a moment: looking at what you guys call Smarties explains a lot about your president and how he could be elected. Now, all I need is a sweets-based explanation for BoJo.

I think the decline in British politics all started when good, sensible, Marathon bars got renamed Snickers. I mean, who goes into a shop and asks for a snicker?

Buckwheat Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 My sidebar is now full of ads for various sweets. Thanks a lot, board, now I am craving chocolate bars and candies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sidebar is full of adds for Bounties (which I rather like especially dark choclate ones) and things that are most definetly NOT smarties. also the picture quality is poor so reads Sharties, - which is strangely appropriate given the anti smartie complaints from our US friends. I therefore propose for the avoidance of transatlantic confusion US Smarties to be Renamed Sharties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a moment to recognize what those little chalk like fruit flavoured pellets were. Then I remembered that they're called rockets in Canada. Honestly this is the kinder surprise thing all over again. America cut that shit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always knew there was something fishy about you wildlings. Also, "Cancommies" sounds like a person who makes sure everyone gets the same amount of beer. #Cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is less common now but the way chocolate bars were displayed in places like post offices, newsagemts, off-licenses etc was/is on a sort of display unit at the till, which was positioned so that for at least some of them the person behind the till had to reach over and pass it down, especially if you were a child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now all I got are ads for one book on Canadian politics, one on The Battle of Breton Woods, and 2 on Bismark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
