It's obviously been a while since you had smarties! They come in cardboard octagon type tubes with a rip off lid which has a picture of teeth underneath it - oh and did I mention there are white smarties in there now. They look all dull because they've got rid of the artificial colours.

Kids used to save the lids and see what words they could make with them. There were no special letters to get, it was just all part of eating smarties by smart kids idea. I suspect they still have them because it is cheaper than changing the lid moulds!

they spell out the alphabet (not the word alphabet). kids are meant to collect them. goodness i'm sure if you bought 26tubes of smarties you'd end up with mostly p's b's and f's or something. wouldnt even be close to getting all the letters. it's to get you to buy more smarties. spend more money.

Your going to have to describe what a smartie tub is?
If this is a food item, then it probibly tells where it was canned and when.
