Also Smarties! These are Smarties everywhere else in the world apart from the US as far as I can tell.

Just googled it out of curiosity:

Our smarties is because those ones hadn't made it over from the UK yet, so it got the "I was called that first" power

I think in the UK we have a similar thing but they're called Refreshers.

So those are actually the exact same thing, apparently

More googling lead to the smarties Wikipedia page, which says the Dee family also owns Swizzles Marlow, and the first product on their page? Refreshers, bi-concave candy disks!
