Smarties are also sold in Norway, actually - and probably other countries as well!

The Nestlé ones are available all over Western Europe (and probably in several more countries).
This makes sense since Nestlé is a French company, at least I think it is.

I thought German...although I guess it sounds more French than German, lol

Miranda, you're right. Their website says they're headquartered Avenue Nestlé 55, CH-1800 Vevey, Switserland.

Smarties are available in Canada as well. Several years ago I sent my son to Church Camp - and he learned to play poker.The coinage used? Smarties! What can I say - his mother learned how to pick locks at Church Camp.

I've only ever played poker with 'Monopoly' money, Smarties sound like a much better idea! But isn't it hard not to eat them?

I expect it must have been, but then you have the opportunity of taking everyone else's Smarties. They played at rest time after lunch, so they were limited to about an hour of play, then swimming.

Smarties in Canada: are those the American or the Nestlé ones?

I'm not sure, off the top of my head. I'll find out, and report back!

Just in case you've ever wondered, Smarties are in South Africa too.

Do they have different tubes for the different colour Smarties?

Canadian Smarties are Nestles, and in a flat box. I have seen them in tubes, but you don't see them often - usually at service stations.

In the US Smarties are small, tart chalky candies sold in celophane wrapping. Like Sweet Tarts, if you know what they are like. No chocolate involved whatsoever .

Think I prefer the chocolate ones, being a chocolate-freak! Has anyone tried baking them in cookies?
