UK Smarties Tubes 1  2  3  4  5
The first of three Limited Edition tubes, apparently showing different ways of opening them. With this one, you punch them. Hmmm. Best before 1 NOV 94. The tubes also sported lids in colours unique to this set. Click here to see them.
Unzip them...
Or tear them apart. Grrrr
This is the first of a nine tube set. The theme being that someone is stealing the blue SMARTIES. There is a clue on each tube to help you identify the culprit.
CLUE 1; HE SHARES THE FIRST LETTER OF OUR MISSING COLOUR
Best before 01 JAN 95
There are three suspects.THE ROBBER DOESN'T HAVE A MOUSTACHE
And the SMARTIES that are left have sad faces painted on them. Click here to see. THE ROBBER ISN'T WEARING A TOP HAT..
TO REPLACE A LETTER OF HIS NAME WOULD BE SILLY
There were three colour lids associated with these designs. See them here
Knowing the names of the suspects would help. They are Big Reg, Billy The Bonce and Dr Devious...COULD IT BE NOBBLY THE LICE?..
THE ROBBER IS WEARING A HAT..
There was a reward for identifying the thief...a Secret Message Pen. Yours for 8 tokens, the correct name and 20 pence p&p. HIS MUM CALLS HIM WILLIAM..
THERE ARE THREE WORDS IN THE ROBBERS NAME..
On this tube, the best before date is 1 FEB 95. THERE ARE 13 LETTERS IN THE ROBBERS NAME..
There is another clue, but not on a tube...click here to find it..
This is not STRICTLY a new design. Why's it here? Click the tube to find out. Best Before 1 APR 95
Another 10% extra free, though this time it's worded 'MORE FREE'...what's the difference? ONLY SMARTIES HAVE THE ANSWER!  Best before 1 JUN 95.
Another set of three tubes. Looks like a Haloween theme. These tubes have jokes written on them. There are also three different coloured lids. This is the joke on the first tube; WHAT IS THE FIRST THING A MONSTER EATS AFTER IT HAS HAD A TOOTH OUT?...THE DENTIST!
WHAT DO MONSTERS PLAY AT PARTIES?  
SWALLOW MY LEADER!
Best Before 1 OCT 95
WHAT IS A GHOST's FAVOURITE BREAKFAST?
DREADED WHEAT!
Remember the GRUESOME GREENIES? Here's another tube for what becomes a recurring theme...alien infested tubes. These ones have cute names though...ZOCK, BABOK, YOZ and SMORG. You could send off for glow in the dark models of these SMARTIANS with 10 special tokens and 80pence. See them here. I also have a few of the special tube lids. Check them out. I also have examples of SMARTIAN SMARTIES! Tubes at this time cost 27 pence. BEST BEFORE 01/01/96
Another tube FULL of orange smarties. This time the tube features some cool looking orange smartie dudes. Best before 01/04/1996.
This is the last time we see the brown standard tubes. There is nothing spectacularly different with this tube compared to the one seen on page one from 1993. The main differences are on the reverse of the tube, where all the information panels have been moved around. Best before 1 JUN 96.
This is a standard tube, but it has a new look. The word 'smarties' is designed to appear as if it's made of chocolate. I have a few foreign tubes that also bear a similar design. Best before 01/07/1996.
