Smarties Chocolate Orange Giant Tube, 130 g ( Pack of 1)

Product Information

Rowntree's of York, England, have been making "Chocolate Beans" since at least 1882. [5] The product was renamed "Smarties Chocolate Beans" in 1937. [6] Rowntree's was forced to drop the words "chocolate beans" in 1937 due to trading standards requirements (the use of the word "beans" was felt to be misleading [ citation needed]) so adopted the "Milk Chocolate in a Crisp Sugar Shell". Later, the sweet was rebranded as "Smarties". Chocolate covered in a sugared shell is one of the oldest forms of chocolate sweet in the world. The name SMARTIES has been around since 1937 when Rowntree’s renamed a product that had previously been known as Chocolate Dragée or Chocolate Beans.

Artificial colouring was removed from Smarties on the Canadian market in March 2009. The new range included all the colours except blue. Blue Smarties were re-added in May 2010. [17]With no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, orange Smarties giant tube is a gift you can feel happy to give! Each giant tube of Orange SMARTIES contains 120 grams of orange flavoured milk chocolate sweets in a crisp sugar shell. Each SMARTIES giant tube contains 6 portions [16 sweets] of your favourite SMARTIES treat that can be enjoyed or saved for later. There was also a song called "A Handful of Smarties," written by Gerald Masters, which also aired in Europe, The Caribbean and Jamaica. He added: "Our experts have been hard at work to make it happen so that 2017 is the perfect Christmas for fans of Orange SMARTIES."
