just found this old commercial which makes me beg the question-when you eat your smarties do YOU eat the red ones last?

I'm sure I saw Smarties when I was in California a few months ago, but they're not that common in the US because people prefer M&Ms. Haven't really penetrated the US market yet, I think they were only introduced a few years ago.

I prefer M&Ms myself as Smarties are owned by Nestle but I do love that ad!

hi!
experience tells me that when eating smarties or M&M, it's always the red ones last.
this is common to kids. maybe red is a catchy color for them.

Regardless if they are M&M or Smarties, I don't eat the red last. I lick the colors off then eat the chocolate part.
