question for you all...
Do you have Smarties over there??? heard it on the radio today...they said M&M's are American (even though we have them here) and Smarties are Canadian and they didnt think you guys could get them over there....
is that true?????
TIA!

Re: question for you all...
It's true, we don't have the chocolate M&M like smarties! i used to get them in canada. We have tart sugary smarties, but they are nothing like the chocolate ones.

I can get imported chocolate Smarties (and Flake and Fruit Pastilles and others I'm not remembering) at the Irish store near me, but they aren't found at regular stores like Target or the deli.

You mean these?:
Yep...we have them here. In fact, my 6 year old is eating them right now. 
Oh...guess you mean these... 
Nope...no chocolate Smarties here. I think I have Smarty envy.

No way Smarties are no way near as good as M&M''s, even if they come in a tube. No way.

M&Ms melt. Mmmmm 
ETA: I have had those before and don't remember them melting. That's why I like my m&m's more!

Re: question for you all...
Since I come from Europe I thought all smarties were chocolate when I first moved to the US.
Then I found out I had to ask for M&Ms.

Re: question for you all...
Yes there are smarties here and they are chocolate. We also have m&ms. I like them both, but the shell is different on the smarties- harder-like. I would rather have a nice cadbury instead- much better here than in the US.

I loved the chocolate Smarties as a kid in Ireland.
The only place you can get them here is in the irish import shops.

Re: question for you all...
I had no idea there was another candy called Smarties!
I loved the American kind as a kid.
For those of you that like the harder shell, have you tried Hershey's kKssables? They are kiss-shaped, but tiny & candy coated. They have a thicker , sweeter coating than M & Ms.

In the UK they always come in a tube these days. Thats why kids love them so much.

No, kissables just aren't as good as Smarties. I haven't had Smarties in years, but we used to pick them up in Canada when I was in college near the border.
