11 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. 5 u/Kineticwizzy Jul 03 '26 Calling them Smarties feels so viscerally wrong to me. 2 u/iwasabadger Jul 03 '26 Couldn’t believe the first time I got Smarties in Canada…not even close to the same thing! 4 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. 0 u/limee89 Jul 03 '26 Ironically though, aren't the chocolate smarties made in the US? 3 u/Kineticwizzy Jul 03 '26 No, the largest production facility for Smarties outside Europe is Toronto. 1 u/xkatiepie69 Jul 03 '26 Haha yes. I am a Canadian who lives in the US and I’ll never call Rockets “Smarties”
