NATIONAL SMARTIES® DAY

National Smarties Day on October 2 celebrates the sweet legacy of an iconic candy and the smarty pants people who never stop learning.

#NationalSmartiesDay

Smarties have been around since 1949. That's over 70 years of celebrating this sweet candy wafer roll. In honor of National Smarties Day, we invite everyone to take a walk down memory lane and enjoy this nostalgic candy. If you've never tried Smarties, this is your chance to become a new member of the smarty pants club.

What are Smarties? Smarties are rolls of a small pastel colored candy tablets that are sweet and a little bit sour. Unlike most candy, Smarties have only 6 ingredients, too. There are six different flavors in a Smarties package. Flavors are randomly mixed together for each individual Smarties roll.

Do you like them or not so much?

I have always loved them and use to carry them all the time in m purse for whenever I needed them for a sad child or my kids. This generation (my grandkids seem to not like these amazing oldies. I don't carry them at all now because they are pure sugar and wouldn't do my body good.

Never been a fan of these kind of Smarties, just too sweet for me.
Over in Saudi we had Smarties but they were like M & M's. They were from England and came in a cardboard tube with a plastic cap. They were fun to shake and make lots of noise with, but we had to be sure to keep our fingers on the cap or you would lose all your Smarties.

I like Smarties. They used to be fun to use as treats for students when I started teaching, but around my eleventh year, they were prohibited at school, apparently some kids were snorting them.

yes, I did enjoy eating them. I don't see them around now; or I'm just not looking for them. I prefer chocolate
