      Can’t say I’ve tried em, evidently 😅. Though, could be interesting just for the experience.

        Had a sleeve of them on my desk prior to my above comment. Idk why people are saying they’re chalky. They’re basically just lightly flavored sugar tablets.

        Kids crush them into powder, and snort it like coke.

        At least we did in the 80s…

    US smarties are the same exact thing as Rockets elsewhere. They’re both sugary crack

  Smarties are sugary. You're thinking of Necco Wafers.

    Rockets are branded as Smarties in the US

      Necco Wafers taste like someone took Pepto-Bismol, dehaydrated it, and formed it into discs the size of US quarters.

  The chalky things are called “Rockets” in Canada.
