THESE are Rockets:

And THESE are Smarties:

Nope. That is just wrong!

for setting the record straight. I am so weary of people erroneously referring to Rockets as Smarties. *sigh* Ah the trials of an ex-patriate Canadian...

That is so not right. This is like that Mac n' Cheese thing isn't it?!

I mean, I can almost understand the mac'n' cheese confusion, but rockets and smarties? And we look to them as the great world power? What is the world coming to? It's just like the "Canadian Bacon" vs. "Peameal Bacon" confusion. We clearly need to write a cross-cultural curriculum guide. I think it would sell very well.

you silly Canadians...

Rockets are the things that BIG countries like the US send up into space. Smarties are the kind of candy eaten by smarties who can build rockets to send into space. It's really all very simple.

are what Canadian smarties ate while they developed the Canadarm, so the US would have something to do when they got to space.
