Smarties

[bodybeatrock]

Which colour of smarties has been banned in France?

[madein1978]

Probably the Brown one!! Don't tell me the French are at all this 'ban the colours' nonsense now!?!?

[CheekyChops]

I thught it was the blue one, something to do with the dye that makes it blue and all the e numbers?

[bodybeatrock]

blue is correct

[candybar]

surely nestle wouldnt bother making special "french batches" of smarties though with the exclusion of blue ones?

[MrsJo49155]

I don't care which ones they ban in France as long as they don't ban the orange ones here - why are they the only ones that have their own flavour????

[mr_pointment]

the blue ones are uppers and the orange ones are downers.any how,who said the fro# french could eat our smarties?

[Salamanda]

ban the red ones, they coloured with cochineal!!!

[CT]

AT least cochineal is natural ;-)

[mata hari]

[mata hari]

and mr-pointment, they are here for us English types to eat of course!!

[mata hari]

spelling error !!, blus ones don't exist, I meant blue ones he he!!

[sithlord]

Fair play MrsJo. You're right , the orange ones are the only ones with their own flavour!! Never thought about it before.

[MrsJo49155]

Something for you to ponder on then Sithlord.....what an interesting life I must lead when I come up with such gems as "orange smarties are the only one with their own flavour" !!!
