Smarties Tube Gallery : Guestbook

Welcome to the guestbook for The Smarties Tube Gallery. You may wish to leave a message here for everyone else to see, rather than just emailing me. I've created an optional field for people to leave their location. If you do not wish to complete this field that's ok, but it would be great to see where all the visitors to this site come from. You don't have to be specific. Town, county, state or even country will do! A name is required, but this does not have to be your real name. You could use any alias you wish. (It would be handy if you use the same screen name in any future messages though!).

:D Hey, this is cool! I wonder if you can help me...? Years ago in 1971 I made an advert for Smarties - it was the first one to use the song "Smartie people are happy people..." I am the young man sitting (or standing) up a tree with thousands of Smarties pouring down over me, eventually obscuring me by filling up the screen. This is a genuine shout and I would love to hear from you. The thing is in this age of youtube/videos/retro etc a whole new realm of possibility has opened up to me to perhaps obtain a film of the ad from somewhere, as we didnt have videos in those days and despite the fact that the ad must have been shown a thousand times over a few years (it was on for a number of years in to my teens. even, from the age of eleven).

We once wrote to Jimmy Saville's Jim'll Fix It! to try and see a rereun but never heard a thing.

I have managed over the years to get on TV a few times and have managed to find these on youtube - and one is actually immortalised on an Iron Maiden DVD: Early Years vol 1. If you can in any way help me or point me toward someone who can, I'd really appreciate it; meanwhile I'll try and contact via the web any relevant parties -Rowntrees/ITV etc. PS on my myspace site you can see my TV appearances Barrimore show with Royal Liberty Morris Dancers (heavy metal morris dancers, sort of) and I'm the one standing toward the back with long curly hair and a Magnum Tshirt under my leather jacket. Also the black and white vid on heavy metal fans at an Iron Maiden gig - I'm the 2nd one on speaking (about punks with spikey hair and disco freaks with silly little shoes...o to be young and agendered, eh?). Have fun. Hope to hear from you.

Hi. Yes. I would be interested in sorting something. Email me at northerntrumpet@smartiescollector.com and we can discuss details.
Thanks for getting in touch.

smarties are the best and they always have the answer to my homophobia

BLUE SMARTIES ARE BACK!!!
i was in tesco this evening and found a tube of smarties mini eggs with the words "Blue is Back!" on the front and "no artificial colours or flavours" at the top, could not believe my eyes, so i have bought a tube... there are no brown ones and the blue ones are a paler blue than before, but great to see them back again!

Thanks for the heads up Richard. I haven't seen the tubes, but I got hold of a couple of bags at ASDA yesterday. It's only on eggs at the moment as an easter Special (haven't we just had Christmas?!) but hopefully they will extend it to the actual SMARTIES.
Thnks again.

Hi. Thanks.
I don't like the new tubes either.
Ah, yes. The black and white tubes and smarties. I really liked those myself.

:O Hello,

Fantastic website you have running here. I am a huge fan of smarties, I just ate a whole pack and now I feel ill...but it was well worth it......I remember a valentines limited edition we had in Canada in the 90s, all smarties were red and pink. Also there was a version where there were purple smarties with sunglasses! like this: 8)

bye bye ;-)

Hi Anna. I'm glad you lie the site. Are you sure the purple smarties looked like that? The ones in the UK looked like this...COOL_DUDE_TUBE.html

love your website! i found a tube in my loft that you don`t have here!! don`t wanna part with it but i can send you a photo if you like? its dated 14 05 91 and made in germany, i bought it on a school trip to france, and its a rowntree tube before the nestlé takeover. looks similar to the 1993 german tube you have but without nestlé above the smarties, and the e in smarties is straight not angled... ps when you gonna update the saudi arabia page??
