Smarties® have long been a favorite of ours! As kids, we used them as “medicine” when we played hospitals and doctors. As a parent, I use them as a sweet reward for a job well done!
One of the great parts of this job is that, from time to time, I get samples to review. Nice perk! I recently received some Smarties®. This prompted me to do some fact-finding since we have loved these for so long! Whatever the reason, Smarties® are always great fun! Here are a few fun facts:
- A roll of Smarties® has only 25 calories!
- Smarties® comes in 6 colors/flavors:
White = Orange/Cream
