Nestlé Smarties Giant Tube - 120g

Smarties have been a fixture of British corner shops, cinema queues and party bags for generations. Nobody needs them explained. Say the name and people start telling you which colour was theirs.

If you grew up in Britain, the tube is half the memory: shaking it, tipping it, trying to get the last few out without taking the lid off properly. That is why people in Canada go looking for the UK one by name. It is the one from the sweet shop down the road.

The giant tube holds 120g, which is enough to share if you are feeling generous and not too much if you are not. Pop the lid back on and it keeps happily in the cupboard. They get poured into bowls for film nights, pressed onto birthday cakes and quietly eaten straight from the tube in the car.

Nestlé is also behind British favourites like KitKat and Aero, and a tube of Smarties tends to land in the basket next to a few of them. A proper sweet shop haul, the way you remember it.
