Sainsbury's don't do Smarties!

I miss the old style Smarties too!
Those windee tube contraptions are rubbish and kids will never know what fun they could have with a tube that could become many a plaything. I used to love popping the lids!
Sainsbury's don't sell the new type of Smarties apparently because the packaging is so flimsy and the Smarties are always scattering out... Freedom for the Smarties but no doubt a major Health and Safety issue for Sainsbo's...
I always gave up on trying to collect the alphabet on smarties lids - probably because I was far too careless as a child to complete a collection of any kind but maybe I was just never that bothered. I don't believe it's true about the black 'x' lids - I never heard of that - and I consider myself something of a confectionery expert!
This is my first ever blog. Great to reminisce about complete triv. Love it. Lainey-C.
