There's chocolate in there though, not....uh....whatever Skittles have inside.

I've never had them.  Are they M&M-ish, or what?

Yes, very.

I had totally forgot about plain M&Ms.

[The Brain]

Did you forget about Dre?

[Grey Fox]

I never forget Dre. Dre is basedgod.

They are one of the shitty candies that you hate to get on Halloween.

We'd call those Rockets here in Canada.  They're pretty much just pure sugar.  A diabetic friend of mine always carried some in his pocket in case he had low blood sugar.

I've eaten Freedom Smarties maybe once or twice in my life, and found the packaging to be woefully inadequate.  Once you open the wrapper there's no way to store it for later.

I dunno about "Freedom Smarties".  Turns out they're made by a Canadian company - the same company that makes Rockets.

That explains the shitty wrapping.  Can't you hosers do anything right?

Hmm, the history notes the candy was created in NJ and one of the factories is still in NJ.

In fact, the smarties website has this to say.

Smarties® a family tradition!
Smarties Candy Company is owned and operated by three generations of the Dee family. On January 10, 1949, Edward "Eddie" Dee brought his family from England to New Jersey. Equipped with only two machines in a rented facility, he succeeded in founding Ce De Candy, Inc., makers of Smarties®, America's favorite candy wafer roll.

Eddie opened his first factory in Bloomfield, New Jersey in August, 1949. He proceeded to move the company to Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1959 and finally to Union, New Jersey in 1967.  On January 1, 2011, the company changed its name from Ce De Candy, Inc. to Smarties Candy Company.

Eddie also created Ce De Candy, Ltd. in Canada, opening a factory on Queen Street in Toronto in 1963. Later, he moved the operation to a new Canadian facility built in Newmarket, Ontario in 1988 to make more Smarties® and "Rockets®," as they are called in Canada. (Canadian Rockets® candy fans can visit the Rockets Candy Website, like Rockets Candy on Facebook and follow Rockets on Twitter.)

Smarties® are made 24 hours a day in two candy factories located in Union, New Jersey and Newmarket, Ontario. The company produces billions of Smarties® rolls each year.
