Smarties (European and Commonwealth Candy)

Smarties (called Lentilky in Czech) have been manufactured by Nestlé since the late 19th century. They're beloved by fat kids around the world, but are inexplicably unavailable in the United States. Forrest Mars actually got the idea for M&M's from some soldiers he saw eating Smarties during the Spanish civil war, and the 2 candies are similar except Smarties are sweeter, flatter, and will readily melt in your sweaty palm. I prefer Smarties to M&M's for political reasons (curse the running dogs of Yanqui imperialism) but they'll both give you diabetes and make your children morbidly obese.
