I eat M&m's. Smarties are too hard and taste like wax.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

I always save at least one blue and one orange to eat last, and change between sucking them, cracking the shell off into two saucer shapes with my teeth and just eating huge handfuls of them. Fun with Smarties!

Only Smarties have the answer... but what is the question?

And, I eat them in random order.

Is this going to be a flame war? Because these are smarties. Not whatever that stuff is in the OP. Also one of my favorites.

The American smarties are the best.

I have stopped eating smarties. Usually whenever I get them, I open every roll and pour all the little candies into one big bowl, and then eat them by the handful... and get a little sugar sick.
I like chicken
I like liver

I loved the games more than the film, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Only hope that the zombies look less like people so obviously made up this time around...

Come on, the campiness of the film is
just a bit nostalgic no?

Well, maybe not, I like that it was action
from beginning to end! Very cool.

Can't wait for Part Deux.

Your smarties are rockets - you used to be able to buy dispensers that would shoot them across the room like well, rockets.

The OP contains candy-coated chocolate - like plain M&Ms but they taste better. But no, they don't come in peanut.

There's a drink that a friend of mine insists tastes exactly like smarties... it's definitely got red bull in it, but I can't remember if it's jager or vodka that's added.

When I was a little kid, me and my brother shaved down white ones, put it in lines and sniff it.... needless to say we only did that once.

Hey turlas... the drink doesn't sound that great to me, either. If it tastes like smarties, it's gotta be pretty sweet. Just what I need in a late-night drink... shots of caffiene. My friend loves it, though.

I've sniffed Rockets powder for a living.

A smooth, enjoyable high, for a little money.

Do they cover an entire gummi bear with chocolate, or do they puree them first? Doesn't sound appetizing to me.

I like to bite the body parts off myself.

By different you must mean better. Relatives moved to the States and we have to bring them cereal because they don't like the taste of the American cereal. What's the difference? Actually, why is there a difference?

My teacher at prep school gave Smarties before every exam. Few allergies to almost-pure sugar, a blood sugar rush untempered by water or fats or proteins lasting half an hour or forty-five minutes. Excellent. Excellent.
Actual conversation between UCLA and Stanford during a login on early Internet - U: I'm going to type an L! Did you get an L? S: I got one-one-four. L! U:Did you get the O? S: One-one-seven. U: <types G> S: The computer just crashed.
