In 2005, Nestlé axed its cylindrical tube, much beloved by collectors hoarding the lids imprinted with letters, aliens and football phrases, in favour of a hexagonal shape.
However, you can still buy the larger tubes (150g) which are still cylindrical. That size is now the one given to kids at Christmas.
- fian 9y agoHmmm, Smarties in Australia used to come in a small rectangular box and you opened it at one of the ends. I can't recall ever seeing Smarties in cylindrical tubes with plastic lids. Feels like we missed out on some fun. After M&Ms were introduced in the 80's, Smarties became less common. I remember thinking Smarties tasted better at the time, but now I feel Smarties have lower quality chocolate than M&Ms. Maybe it is just familiarity bias.
