Why, oh why, have Nestle decided to stop selling Smarties in tubes? It’s as if Terry’s decided that making Chocolate Oranges round was too expensive, and started selling them as cubes. Or Cadbury’s got fed up with Creme Eggs, and started making Creme Nuggets, or something. I’m disgusted.
I mean, just look at the new ‘hexatube’:
It looks really, really naff. The tubes are what Smarties are famous for – I remember getting a tube of Smarties when I swam my first 5 metres at school*. And these new hexatubes don’t have the letters on top – again, something that will always be associated with Smarties.
Most importantly, though, I doubt you’ll be able to use the new hexatubes as blowpipes, firing the top at anyone who happened to be in range.
I propose a complete boycott of all Nestle products – I’ll suggest it to the DSU. Oh, wait – they already do that. Drat.
*Rewarding exercise with chocolate – somehow, I doubt they still do that after all the fuss with Cadbury’s last year…
nooooo!!!!!!! say it ain’t so!!!
How could they do that?! That’s just wrong! sob I don’t think I’ll ever get over it
If I had any money I’d go and stockpile lots of tubes so that I had them when they were no more.
AxXx
That’s a good plan … I have money … Woolworths here I come
They can’t do that!
It’s comparable to Opal Fruits becoming Starburst, or Marathon becoming Snickers!
You look forward to getting a letter off the cap! Stupid flip-top caps…the modern genration are never satisfied with what they get are they! Huh!
