The Nestle Smarties are older than your Smarties.

Since I did not know that there were other knock offs (LOL) of Smarties out there, Sephanie gets 2 ponts for her answer BUT the points for the Nestle Smarties is still up for Grabs.

Hint -- Their birthday is in January!

January 1937

chocolate beans in 1937 then changes to smarties in 1938

Stephanie, those that you call Smarties, we call Rockets here in Canada.

I saw that on their website Carla. It's funny how there's differences in even the smallest things like candy

And not being readily available would explain why I didn't recognize the picture Thanks for the points Linda!
