Yeah, I noticed that. Someone the other day made a reference to buying a a package of Oreos. Where I’m from that would be a big box of 144 packets that would require a dolly (or two people) to move. Must really like those Oreos!
You folks dont have smarties?
Those type of Smarties I’ve only seen in Canada, UK, New Zealand and Australia.
I’d never noticed before how the Smarties on the American wrapper don’t look anything like American Smarties. They look more like Canadian Smarties.
What now?
What Smarties on the American wrapper?
Look at the “colored rectangles” on the pic posted by Bro.
Hmmm… I don’t think Canadian Smarties would stack like that though. The coloring might be closer but that’s about it.
I knew there was a difference but didn’t know what it was. Canadian Smarties are apparently somewhat close to an M&M, but with a cinnamon and graham cracker type of center, less chocolatey. TIL that American Smarties are available in Canada but called Rockets.

Hmmm… a Canadian friend has a dish of Canadian Smarties out at her home all the time and I’ve never noticed cinnamon or graham cracker. Maybe you’re looking at some special variety of Canadian Smarties?
They’re bigger and crunchier (due to a thicker candy shell) than M&Ms and the chocolate is a little different, probably a little better. And a bit flatter than M&Ms.
But pretty similar to M&Ms.
That’s what the AI told me, so I’ll trust your fact checking here. Maybe I’ll see about ordering some.
Yeah, try them. They’re almost like a cross between M&Ms and nonpareils but better than either.
I’ve moved to a different city than my Canadian friend so it’s admittedly been a while since I’ve had any.

yesterday I used my $5 off $20 coupon after getting my flu shot at a CVS-infused Target to get these (and also a light lunch) since I was out of work coffee. Makes a pretty good cup.

She (or her Canadian-based family) might come in handy in a few weeks.

I have been seeing ads for BedJet on Reddit and think my husband would really like one.
I’ve seen FB ads for it. Jaspess could find that useful (assuming it is in fact a solid device and not just your usual “As Seen On TV” level crap).

It seems to have solid reviews! I think maybe it was on shark tank a few years back?
Like if I want to move to Canada?
Yes, like they do in The Handmaid’s Tale.
Smarties are prettier than M&M’s, but M&M’s have superior taste.
