Default Fruity Smarties...what?!?!?

Saw these today at the newsagents. Got a few problems with them...
1 - Square box? Should be in a tube
2 - They ain't chocolate centered!
3 - They are just Skittles in drag!
I find this development disgusting. Forget your WR1 and England football flame wars and please lobby your MP to get these banned.

Smarties?

By Rowntree, yes?

Taken over by Nestle, yes?

Factory closed and all jobs to Switzerland, yes?

WE SHOULD ALL BE BOYCOTTING ALL NESTLE PRODUCE

I know I am, and their new walnut whips are crap!

The reason why good old fashioned brands now owned by Nestle taste crap is because they now make them with a very cheap mixture of chocolate.
This is basically the sweepings, recycled batches and cocked up brews that were destined for Swiss high quality chocs but were rejected.

Is that hearsay or a proven fact?

Oh damn! It's another case of the Swiss screwing us over? Damn, and I was trying to get away from *that* subject!
