I heard that they contained more E-numbers than the rest and children were getting hyperactive from them. so they removed them and brought them back you can tell they have changed them look at the colour difference.

Yeaah , I heard that they had come back at some point , but then someone said that they were banned again , lmao , guess they were wrong

Answer #3

it was because they used artificial coloring to produce the blue color… and the rest of teh smarties colors were all natural.

they found something in seaweed to produce a natural blue

blue smarties have been going again since 2008 with the natural seaweed coloring ;)…
