Personally I believe that US smarties are part of a conspiracy to discredit the Commonwealth and drive us to Despair and Lunacy. My evidence - In all Commonwealth nations (even Canada apparently, bravely resisting the Evil Demons to the north and south), smarties involve chocolate buttons covered with a crunchy sugar coating in the manner of an M&M or possibly Reeses Pieces if the movie 'ET' is accurate, but better because they have the Queen's blessing (if you have to ask which Queen, you aint never gonna know). The US just decided to call their fizzy sugary things smarties out of spite because they've never won any medals at the Commonwealth games and they have an evil plot to overthrow the Queen's sweets, maybe even the Queen herself! |
