(3) Smarties. Unlike the tiny sugar candies sold in the United States under this name, the UK Smarties are sort of like giant M&Ms. They're packaged in rolls sort of like Mentos, randomly assorted, so to eat the red ones first you basically have to shred the packaging entirely.

Also available in Canada, in boxes similar to the ones I understand they use in the US for Junior Mints. And back in the 1970s and '80s, the company had a jingle (to the tune of "Does you chewing gum lose its flavor on the bed-post overnight?") with the repeated line "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?"
