why do orange smarties taste orange ?.... and other ones dont?

[drlove8]

i know its barking but why? it would be fantastic if blue smarties tasted ...of well , blue, ect .and so forth... so aibu for thinking orange smarities have no place in the tube.... the rest just taste of chocolate.

• and yes i have just eaten the smarties that were hiding in the fridge..... the sugarrush! aaaarrrrggghhh!

[Dumbledoresgirl]

What you want is a tub of Neopolitans drlove8.

Or I do, anyway.....

[Thunderduck]

Chocolate should never be put in the fridge! It's the 11th commandment.

[SecretSlattern]

orange smarties are my favourite

[Threadworm]

Are you sure that the blue ones don't taste of blue, and the green ones of green? Have you licked a rainbow? Perhaps all colours taste the same except for orange.

[5inthebed]

Because orange ones are coloured by orange peel!

The blue ones are actually coloured by seaweed

[TrillianAstra]

I'd quite like a whole tube of orange ones.

How dare you say they have no place in the tube, they are the best!

[Thunderduck]

I could live without the orange ones. They aren't very pleasant.

[NeedCoffee]

why don't the blues taste of fish then?

[Dumbledoresgirl]

Hey the brown ones taste of chocolate, don't they? So it is not only the orange ones that have an appropriate flavour.

[fiver]

Orange ones are the best!

my mum swears that the brown ones used to be coffee flavoured. I think she's lying.

do you remember the special addition smarties with white chocolate ones in?

[DontCallMeBaby]

There's orange oil in the ingredients, I think, not sure if it's in the shell or chocolate. Maybe both? Actually the shell definitely tastes of orange, so it's either the shell, or both.

Fiver I'm sure I've heard before that the brown ones used to be coffee flavoured ...

[DontCallMeBaby]

Is there any chance your mum has been editing Wikipedia?

[fiver]

OMG, it's true then. I must apologise to my mum

[twirlymum]

Last Christmas, dd was given a tube full of orange smarties. You can get tubes of all pink ones too.
Does a chocolate orange count as one of my five a day?

[drlove8]

er... what are neopolitans? . intresting link Dontcallmebaby, M&MS are copies of smarties. DH AND I HAVE HAD MANY AN ARGUMENT OVER THAT

[drlove8]

think it must twirly ( well it does in my house) lol

[TsarChasm]

Yeuch! Paaah! I hate the orange ones. I don't like orange flavoured chocolate (or coffee flovoured choc either come to that, but they don't do coffee Smarties do they?)

Didn't they take the blue ones out for a while for some odd reason?

[plonker]

Orange smarties ...mmmmm

Has anyone noticed how the yellow mini eggs taste different from the other mini eggs?

Or is it just me? ...

[twirlymum]

They took the blue ones out because they were the only ones to have artificial colourings. They were replaced with white ones for a while, but are now back.
Hang on, I've got a tube - well hexagonal shaped tube - here.
Coloured with: Safflower (?) Black carrot, Hibiscus, Red Cabbage and Lemon.
I daren't open them, because you can't just eat one Smartie...

[drlove8]

red cabbage sweeties ! yay my kids do eat veg!

[loler]

I have successfully educated dd (6) to hate the orange ones - she has saved all of hers for me to dispose of since old enough to know colours. Am working on dss.

[TsarChasm]

Black carrot (never heard of one of those before) Red cabbage. Lemon. So that'd be three of the five a day thingy then

[GrimmaTheNome]

The veggie colours are all a bit crap though, aren't they? A bit rubbish for cake decoration.

Neapolitans... used to always have a box at xmas. Little choc rectangles in various flavours - milk and plain, orange and coffee flavoured of each ('cafe au lait') iirc. Were there others?

[jemart]

Is orange flavoured chocolate a love/hate thing like marmite then? surprising how much some ppear to loathe it.
I love orange smarties! and marmite actually, I wonder if there is a correlation?

[jemart]

Also - NEVER PUT CHOCOLATE IN THE FRIDGE!
