Truth in advertising? I think not

I just wanted to make everyone aware of a gross over statement from a well known candy maker.   The fact that this candy is made in Canada may or may not be relevant......just throwing it out there. 

Without further ado, I present a bold faced liar!!!

Do you recognize these?    


I have been eating these little candies since I was a little girl (never mind that I know I shouldn't be eating them, I do it anyway)  and after eating Smarties on and off for years, I have NOT felt one teensy bit smarter.  In fact, I think it's having the opposite affect on my limited brain power and I am considering a scathing letter written to the Smarty people and give them a piece of my mind.  Aye?

Could it be that these little candies could be the reason I walk to another room only to forget why I am there?  Or could it be that they have caused me to drive all the way to town only to drive right by my destination?  And all this time I thought it was my advancing age that was to blame...........whew, glad I got that straightened out before it was too late.

  1. It's worse than you think, Kelly. In the UK, 'Smarties' have always been little sugar-coated chocolate disks, like M &Ms. You are not the only one to have been hoodwinked into forgetting why you bought them in the first place.

  3. There was a nun in elementary school that called them "thinking pills." It doesn't matter what you call them...I love them!

  7. It's funny, in Australia "Smarties" are candy covered chocolate, like M&Ms but more flat than round! They have been around all my life, the other brand is a newcomer here!

He who angers you, controls you.

And my favorite.......You can't control what others say or do, but you can control your reaction.
