    "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last ? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast ? Eat that candy coated chocolate , but tell me when I ask, when you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last" ...this jingle is embedded in every Canadian of my generation.
    Love the video !

    The colors of Smarties are more subdued now than when I was a kid because they went away from the additives for coloring.
    They are best to me if you can suck on them for a bit, then the chocolate seems much tastier when melted. 😉

    With chips, it's always good to turn the bag upside down and give it a couple of shakes. It redistributes the flavour crystals that settle on the bottom of the bag.

    Mars bars used to exist in the U.S., I used to eat them all the time back in the 80's. I stopped seeing them in the mid 90's.
    As for Ketchup chips, you can't get them in the U.S., in conventional grocery stores. Also, the best Ketchup chip brand is Old Dutch, also, it's a Canadian owned company and brand, wheras Lays is owned by Frito Lay, and is a U.S. Brand. For those with a dairy allergy, don't eat the Lays Ketchup chips, because they contain milk. Old Dutch is the way to go.

    Mondelez is a corporation (LLC?) , they do not "make" candy, they just profit from Sales and Marketing under their corporate conglomeration of multi-faceted candy manufacturers ... that's why they (Mondelez) keep the originating Brand name on the product, so consumers can identify the brands they are familiar with.
