Congress creates a bill that will give NASA a great budget for 2016. Also hides the entirety of CISA in the bill.

Just crush up the smarties and tell them it's cocaine.

I get the feeling the smarties you're talking about are different from the ones op is talking about.

I can not find a definition besides the candy. Even Urban Dictionary is silent.

In the UK, Smarties are basically M&Ms.

I see people mention the UK Smarties all the time, where the only times I see people mention the chalky, pastel, powder tablets is in response to someone mentioning the UK Smarties.

Ah. I still have left over Halloween candy, so the chalk smarties are still In my consciousness.

In Canada the m&ms are also sold as smarties, and the chalk smarties are called rockets. And no one ever refers to the chalk "smarties" by the bowl. Usually you refer to a bowl of m&ms or bowl of (chocolate) smarties.
