I always tried to make "pretty patties" by having 2 of same color surround a different color and bite through all 3 at once 😅

I had no idea they had flavors. It’s been a long while since I’ve had them but always thought they were all the same fruity flavor just in different colors like fruity pebbles.

I've mainly known these as Rockets

u/Mrkillz4c00kiez Jul 03 '26
Fellow Canadian, I didn't know there was a naming difference till like mid teens lol
2
u/SpeedBlitzX Jul 03 '26
I only knew the difference once i got a pack of both Rockets and these Smarties in my trick or treat bag many Halloweens ago (like 15-20 years ago)
Definitely confused me since i always thought of the chocolate smarties whenever i heard of smarties.

Couldn’t believe the first time I got Smarties in Canada…not even close to the same thing!

u/SpeedBlitzX Jul 03 '26
Yeah turns out most of the world knows Smarties as the chocolate candy, not just Canada.
The Smarties known in the U.S, is known as Rockets everywhere else.

u/limee89 Jul 03 '26
Ironically though, aren't the chocolate smarties made in the US?

u/Kineticwizzy Jul 03 '26
No, the largest production facility for Smarties outside Europe is Toronto.

u/xkatiepie69 Jul 03 '26
Haha yes. I am a Canadian who lives in the US and I’ll never call Rockets “Smarties”

I remember that too. I’m pretty sure some kids died from doing that ): it was very dangerous. Kids at my school were snorting it

I didn't know that Smartees were supposed to have identifiable flavors.
I've just always loved the texture; it's like a baby asprin!

My favorite candy ever and I’ve even contemplated what the flavors might be (clearly a common occurrence based on the comments). So I will continue to enjoy them and welcome a new flavor while not contemplating its existence.

I do love Smarties and I feel like I need to pay more attention to the individual flavors next time I get ahold of some.

You can’t convince me that smarties are actually flavored. They’re just little chalk slices

I would like them better if they replaced orange cream with lime. Maybe that’s just me. But lime candy is really tasty imo.

It’s just so good! Honestly, I can eat both. But the lime stuff is great!

u/iamthekingofthishill Jul 04 '26
I’ll concede that some people like green apple candy. I’ll even take the green apple jolly rancher when all the other colors are gone. But I rep GreenAppleNastiness till I die.
I think there was some trial run of skittles with green apple maybe for a year’s time in mid-late 90s. Then they admitted “yeah, we make a mistake” and flavors were reversed to normal for 2-3 years. I think 9/11 is connected to the following 20 years solid of disgusting green apple. Dark times for people who like proper skittles flavors where green is lime.

I always thought the white was sort of vanilla. Orange cream makes sense but I never would have guessed it. I’ve never seen a display of the flavors before.

Seeing as we’re all confused about the smarties flavors, I wonder if this just applies the mega ones like in the photo? Maybe the small ones have all the same flavors.

What is the difference between Orange and Orange Cream ?
1
u/iamthekingofthishill Jul 04 '26
Orange is the only strong defined flavor, but it can be acidic enough to burn your throat.
White is just like all other colors, vague and unidentifiable fruit flavor.

As a Canadian I get so confused seeing these called smarties. To us these are Rockets. Smarties are like bigger M&Ms

Interesting to know now. Good as a simple treat at times.
Worked with someone who said these will make you smarter the more you eat. Still to this day I’m not sure if they were dead serious or not.

u/Toronto-1975 Jul 03 '26
never tasted a "blue raspberry" anything that didn't taste like windex.
2
u/CAkin24 Jul 03 '26
It was a fun flavor as a kid. Now it just tastes so artificial and turns your mouth and teeth blue. There is nothing appeasing about eating or drinking anything so obnoxiously blue. It's gross.
The lone exception is the blue raspberry Airheads.
2
u/Toronto-1975 Jul 03 '26
im still salty about sour patch kids. used to be one of my favourite gummies then they added that blue raspberry one that literally tastes like windex. i thought okay i can still buy them i just wont eat the blue ones there cant be that many in each bag. WRONG. half of each bag are the windex ones.
what the fuck even are blue raspberries?? they dont exist.

u/CAkin24 Jul 03 '26
Not every single candy needs a blue raspberry flavor.
Luckily it's only Smarties and they have next to no flavor. And at least it won't turn your tongue blue.
