Smarties in a Gumball

Everyone remembers the great taste of a roll of Smarties candy….a little bit of sweetness and a tiny bit of tart. Well I was pleasantly surprised when I found the new Smarties Bubble Gumballs in the gumball vending machine where I work.

The Smarties Bubble Gumballs looked very ‘smart’ in the machine with the familiar pastel yellow, purple, orange, pink and green colors. (I recently learned that pastel colors keep the artificial coloring to a minimum, making this sweet a healthier choice.) When I popped the gumball into my mouth, surprise! I can tell you that the taste is as delicious as original Smarties candy, and it’s a lot more fun to chew and blow bubbles.

I thought it very clever to see each gumball printed with the recognizable SMARTIES trademark logo. These gumballs are sure to be a popular new item for kids as well as adults like me who grew up with the Smarties brand candy.
