nothing extraordinary about this post

"’tis orange i taste"
3 comments,

Seems almost a sin for me to write so soon after my last post, and I wasn’t even sure this was blog-worthy (…not that everything else I’ve ever blogged about is) - but in the end, rereading this bit below, taken from this blog, made me log in to WordPress with indignation:

Just as Orange coloured sSmarties taste EXACTLY the same as all other colours of Smartie. I know there are crackpots, junkies and wierdos out there who have for centuries believed that for some reason that Smarties have never stated or advertised, the orange ones actually taste of orange, but I can assure you I have conducted independent trials with over 2,450 individuals - not counting the control group - and the evidence is conclusive in favour of “all Smarties taste the same”.

Just Googling ‘orange smarties’ will get you lots of forum/discussion links where people debate the existence of a different flavour in the orange Smartie. Guess what: An archived Nestlé[1] page says yes, there is, it’s orange-flavoured. A page on Nestlé UK affirms it.

The reason for my indignation is obviously because I am one of those aforementioned crackpots. I have for some time argued[2] that the orange Smartie tasted different from (and nicer than) the others, which was why I always sought it first when encountering one of ‘em tubes.

I would wonder if it was just all in my head. But now the Internet has eased my anxieties again - I am not alone.

Nor was I wrong, ha!
