Do they have these in the UK? I know the US don't.

[Lauren]

Yeah we have Smarties, and Aero.

We don't have "rockets" under that name, but we have the same thing under different names.

Only Canadians know you don't have flapping heads like on Terrence & Phillip? :laugh2::tongue:

Smarties are actually English.

Rowntree's of York, England have been making "Chocolate Beans" since at least 1882. The product was renamed "Smarties Chocolate Beans" in 1937. Rowntree's were forced to drop the words "chocolate beans" in 1977 due to trading standards requirements (the use of the word "beans" was felt to be misleading) and so adopted the tagline "Milk Chocolate in a Crisp Sugar Shell".

The brand became known as "Nestlé Smarties" in 1993, five years after Rowntree's was acquired by Nestlé. Smarties are no longer manufactured in York, production has now moved to Germany, where a third of them were already made. Outside of Europe, Nestlé's largest production facility for Smarties is in Canada.

As is Aero.

It was originally introduced in the North of England in 1935 by the Rowntree Mackintosh chocolate company in York, one of the first products in a new marketing-led sales initiative introduced by the company during the 1930s. Distribution was increased to the rest of the UK during the following months. Rowntree Mackintosh was acquired by Nestlé in 1988, who continued the production of the Aero brand.
