Blue is the new black.

Blue Smarties are back.

Anyone else seen this advert? Was anyone else as strangely happy as I was?

Discuss the awesome-ness of the blue Smartie.

[Roto13]

Blue Smarties went away?

[strawberryman]

I haven't had smarties for years, I never knew they were gone. <_<

Yay, candy?

[Tallulah]

They were always there, just changed the tube from circular to hexagonal, getting rid of the letters lids in the process.

They also had to take out the blue ones, as until recently, there was no way to colour them blue without using artificial ingredients, and they're just trying to make candy less unhealthy.

Personally, I miss the light green ones being white chocolate which they did for a limited time; I have to make do with the orangey orange ones.

[Avarice-ness]

We made a theory in my astronomy class that consisted of this:

If it's a candy, and it comes in blue, it is automatically the best candy in the box/bag. If it's a drink and it comes in blue, then it is automatically the best drink out of the choice of drinks.

Clearly, the blue smarties coming back and having a commercial saying that the blue is back shows that the rest of the world believes this too.

YAY BLUE CANDIES!

Remember when they did those purple ones that were yellow inside, pineapple flavoured? Those were disgusting, and I ate loads thinking they were just regular purple ones.

I'm not excited about the blue smartie, because I think they all taste the same anyway, except the orange one. I don't really eat smarties anymore, either.

[rubah]

your smarties are weird.

[Gogo]

I remember when they had a "Who Stole The Blue Smarties" mystery years and years ago. I just kind of assumed that once that was over they replaced them and it stayed that way. I can't say I noticed that the blue ones were gone. But hey, more colours. I guess that's a good thing.

This doesn't affect me all that much though. I'm more of a Skittles man.

[Sergeant Hartman]

Skittles are win.

[crono_logical]

Orange smarties the best colour

[Jess]

The new blue smarties are really pale and not bright blue like before! and what is up with the box being a hexagon now?

[Jessweeee♪]

WHAT BLUE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!

I don't ever remember seeing blue ones...do they sell them in the US?

[NeoCracker]

I like Reeses myself.

Which is odd cause normally I'm not a big peanut butter or chocolate fan, but together they form the greatest candy item this world has ever known.

[KentaRawr!]

Huh? Our Smarties are in plastic packages. They're all bright colors. And blue ones have always been there.

[41-Inches-Wide]

I only eat red smarties anyway.
