          |  |  | The lid on the left is a standard orange lid from the 1990 standard tube. The lid on the right is from this 1994 zapping orange 
            tube. They look a different colour in this scanned image, but in 
            normal light conditions they look pretty much the same shade. The 
            reason the scanning makes a difference is because the standard lids 
            were more translucent, where as the zapping orange lids seem more substantial. The text is even thicker than on standard lids.

          |  | Having said that about the lids, I have aquired some more 
            tubes recently where the lids are the Nestle 'smarties' lids, 
            NOT the 'ROWNTREE' lids. This could be a result 
            of the transfer from the old style lids to the new lids, or it could 
            be that they were swapped at some stage by whoever 
            had them. All I can say is that the lid shown above is the one that 
            came with the 'zapper' tube in my main 
            collection. It is the lid that it had when it came out of the 
            factory.     |  |

          |  | Forget the tubes.This is what it's all about...the 
            SMARTIES!!!! The orange Smarties in these tubes had the word ZAP written on them. Orange Smarties have always tasted of orange, but if I remember correctly these ones...had more ZAP to them! Infact the tubes 
            state 'super strength orange flavoured milk chocolate in orange coloured crisp sugar shells'. I have some, but I don't think I will try one 
            now! |  |  |  |
