Feb 24 - Temptation

This is all that remains of one Easter Egg bought for a little one that will need replacing before the big day. Don’t tell them.

I can also predict that the Smarties from inside the egg won’t last much longer :0)

Now to the serious point. When did the round Smarties tube disappear?
A generation of kids are in danger of missing out on the Smarties canon … the empty tube that you placed on the school desk pointing towards your
fiends and whacked to fire the lid.
That popping sound alone was fun!

what a swirl of sweets...when a child these were a favourite...boxes here though, no tubes, although I`ve seen those in visits to Ireland and Britain...it seems they had an afterlife too for precocious little marksmen...V

Ah yes - shooting the lid - I bet that's why it's gone - elfen-safety and all that :o( We knew how to have fun in our day! Mmmmm - Smarties :o)

They look good. I have said that I will give up chocolate for lent but I don't think I will last the course. V.

Wot no tube? I didn't know that, surely there must be a law against such corporate vandalism!
