Nestle Smarties are a colourful sugar-coated chocolate confectionery. They come in eight colours: red, orange, yellow, green, mauve (or purple), pink, blue and brown.
Outside of Europe, Nestlé's largest production facility for Smarties is in Canada.
The words for the Canadian advertising jingle from the 70's until the mid-90s was "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast? Eat those candy-coated chocolates, but tell me when I ask, when you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?"
This jingle was set to the tune of Billy Jones and Ernest Hare's "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour On The Bedpost Overnight. Today "Show your colours!" are splashed across the packaging.
The 2008 advertising campaign shows various people who sang to the song "Everyday People " by Sly and the Family Stone.
Have some fun! What end of the box do you open? |
