SMARTIES GREAT STUFF !!
The cylindrical smarties tubes were replaced in the summer of 2005, after 68 years as a chocolate packaging icon. If you collected just two special edition lids from the final run of tubes you could claim all the items shown below. There was no charge, you just had to send off two lids. That was it! The address you wrote to was; SMARTIES GREAT STUFF, PO BOX 122, UCKFIELD, EAST SUSSEX, TN22 5UU. Offer ended 30th March 2006, and seemed to have been a web exclusive offer accessed via the official Nestle smarties web site. If this wasn't enough, applicants also got entered into one of five prize draws to win one of five APPLE 20GB i-pods.
You would receive two Hexatubes full of smarties (which returned your investment of the two tubes you needed to send off the two lids), a useless drawstring bag and a little game of FINGER TWISTER. This is a miniature version of the original TWISTER. This time you spin the wheel and put your finger on the corresponding dots. This is NOT as fun as the full size version where you have several people trying to place hands and feet on the dots, but it's a nice little twist to the game.
You also get a nice mug. Very popular on ebay.
Finally you got a silly (but amusing) book of useless facts / jokes. All this for just two limited edition smarties lids. Not bad at all, though some smartie lid collectors might disagree!
