smarties are losing the round tube and going for a 'hexatube':

This is a complete bummer! We are going for the continental package just no doubt to safe money on the production process. Admittedly I haven't used my empty Smartie tube as a blow pipe for some years, but would like to have the continued opportunity to do so should the spirit move me!

No, it's absolutely true bb4eva! :thumbs:

Reported by the BBC News, no less .... see this link: SMARTIES SET TO LOSE THEIR TUBE (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4276553.stm)

Love some of the comments made ..... especially this one by Bryan, UK .....

How dare they remove the world's greatest artillery machinery - the flying Smarties lid propelled by air pressure resulting from a sudden squishing of the tube!
