    First the demise of Sports Mixtures, and now these!

    LAST ROUND SMARTIES TUBES ROLL OUT
    THE much-loved round Smarties sweets tube is being axed this week after 68 years - and the last 100 will be individually numbered with a certificate signed by Rowntree boss Chris White.

    A six-sided hexatube will replace the old favourite. A spokesman said: "We needed to take the packaging into a new age."

    No more for me then, I used to eat all the coloured ones saving the black liquorice ones for last.

    Regardless of how they promote the change, it's about saving costs in production. This will be much cheaper to produce.
