To write to nestle?

[Fishface77]

All i want are tubes of orange smarties. They are the only ones with flavour. Shall I write to them and ask them to make only tubes of orange smarties?
Will anyone join me in this quest?

[SukeyTakeItOffAgain]

YABU to buy anything from Nestle.

[AngryCrispLady]

What Sukey says

[BillSykesDog]

Are they actually orange chocolate? If so YANBU.

If not, YABU. But I would suggest finding 5 other people who each like the red, pink, green, brown and purples ones and divvying them up between you like Jack Sprat and his wife.

[LegoCaltrops]

Nestlé are evil. IMHO.

[LemonyFresh]

This already exists, I remember buying them once

[carrotcakecupcake]

DS makes frequent requests for only the blue ones...we've recently discovered having a "favourite" colour.

[Lapinlapin]

Orange ones are the best, I agree.

Do you remember when the blue ones were first introduced? At the time I thought they tasted different too, but they certainly don't now, so maybe I was mistaken as a child?

[BottleBeach]

Oh, I thought you were going to write to Nestlé about how they contribute to the unnecessary death and suffering of infants around the world by aggressively marketing baby foods in breach of international marketing standards.

YABU to write to them about Smarties.

[reallyanotherone]

I agree with the orange smartie thing. Definately the best.

I am in a dilemma now though. I know nestle are evil, but are cadburys/kraft/monsanto any better? Now cadburys tastes crap i am eyeing up the rice krispie bars and munchies again, now my beloved mini eggs are not worth the calories.

What other options do i have? Mars? Terry's? Just not the variety. Am i doomed to chocolate oranges for ever? Which brings us back round to the orange smarties...

[TooSmittle]

I was about 12 before I even knew orange smarties existed. My mum loved them so much she'd open the tubes and pilfer all the orange ones before she gave them to me!

I have a vague recollection of someone writing to nestle many years ago and getting a shed load of them sent for her, they arrived in clear plastic bags, loads of them. But this was the 80s and well before they started denying people water and giving out 'free' formula in third world countries, so maybe you won't be quite so lucky now.

But yes, orange smarties are then best!

[Lapinlapin]

really I share your dilemma.

I suppose we ought to boycott them all.
Divine chocolate is really nice, and fairtrade.
Shame it's always harder to track down than the ubiquitous Cadburys.

[FlossieFrog]

Orange smarties are the best.

Did anyone else ever collect the plastic lids (which had a letter embossed on them) to try to get the whole alphabet?

[Doublemint]

What bottle said.

[DontTouchTheMoustache]

Am I the only person who hadn't realised they were different flavours?

[Fishface77]

Oh man!
I just want orange smarties without the political angst but now I will have to stop buying nestle.
Oh for the days when I was young and innocent and corruption and politics, brexit and trump were words that didn't co exist!

[SparkyStar84]

I thought it was going to be about their actions & not smarties!

[Fishface77]

Blue Ones did taste different! Didn't they?
And I remember chewing on the plastic caps!

[Fishface77]

Sorry sparky I was being light hearted

[Peanutandphoenix]

I'm with you on this one OP.

[lifesuckssometimes]

They used to be a Christmas exclusive in Woolworths in the large tubes. Alas not seen since the demise.

[MistressMerryWeather]

You can have mine.

I hate the orange ones.

[TeamLannister]

Yes, what Bottle said.

[RememberToSmile1980]

I love the orange ones as well! I also remember the lids with letters on!

[WorraLiberty]

I'll join you in your quest, OP.

I've always wondered why they all taste the same, apart from the orange ones?

[OhSoggyBiscuit]

If I boycott Nestle, I'll have to boycott Smarties and Kitkats too :(

I love the orange ones. I love the big tubes of pink smarties you can get at Christmas. I like to pour them into my mouth from the tube
