The Smarties Debate Just Got Strange

For those unfamiliar with the "Smarties Debate" it's pretty simple.  In most of the world if you mention the word "Smarties" people will describe a candy coated chocolate similar to M&M's.  If you mention the word "Smarties" to an American, they'll describe those round pill like candies one often gets on Halloween (some call them rockets).  The US has their own Smarties, and many have no idea that the other Smarties even exist.  To add a new twist to this debate, Ce De Candies the manufacturer of the American Smarties, has officially changed their name to "Smarties Candy Co."  This might get interesting.
