Hey, you guys, you have to be "officially paired" by me! Okay, so it looks as though Sharon Y and Kathyc are "officially paired" and have worked it out already for themselves.
Actually, obviously, if you see you're the only Canadian posting and there's only one American posting, then I feel totally fine
with people co-ordinating without me, it's just that if we get more people in, I'd like to be able to do it if that is still okay.
Best wishes! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
------------------
You are right ....my apologies....
I noted that the last Canadian before me had been paired and I just jumped in ......my impulsive nature! Mea Culpa Shar
SharonA, no need to apologize at all! As I said, if everyone can see one Canadian and one American, of course, co-ordinate it yourselves! I don't want to be accused of trying to control this thread or the board.
You did absolutely nothing wrong, I was in a joking mood last night (these don't come upon me very often) when I posted. No need to apologize, please! Best wishes! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

I live in Oklahoma and would love to receive Smarties!!! I have 2 yr. old son PA and egg allergic. Kit Kat recently has tacted on "May contain traces of peanuts." Kit Kat is out of my house. Does Smarties contain egg?
I have had hard time finding candy for him that he likes.
Email address is [email]Jawar@texhoma.com[/email]
Jawar, I'm not clear if Smarties have egg in them. Perhaps someone looking at this thread that has some at home (obviously a Canadian) could check the label. I don't have any right now to check and everyone knows what a disastrous time I have when I go out shopping! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]
So, now, I have one American needing Smarties. I now need a Canadian, please.
But, if someone can, can you please check the label? Many thanks and best wishes! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
Also, Jawar, KitKat in Canada is "safe" because it's made by the same people as Smarties (Nestle) and I know that a lot of people have mentioned wanting KitKat's too, but I'm too worn out to try starting that thread! It's a really good thought, if someone wants to co-ordinate it. Otherwise, when I'm feeling more up and less pressured, I'll start the thread (oh Queen of the Thread Starters! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img] ). It's just that right now, I can't, and I did recognize very early on in this thread that that was potentially a good thread starter/idea. Someone else? Anyone else? Please????? Best wishes!

Ok I am not Canadian but I do have Smarties (Thanks to Coach) in my house. I am reading the label on a small box 56g size:
ingredients:Milk chocolate(sugar,milk ingredients,cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate,,soya lechitan,natural and artificial flavours,sugar,wheat flour,modified corn starch,carnauba wax,colour.
Linda
Okay, one American wanting Smarties (Jawar, my husband just box a couple of boxes so I was able to check the ingredients and egg is not listed as an ingredient).
Any Canadians out there willing to send any?
Best wishes! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
------------------
Okay, as of to-day, I have one American wanting Smarties. Any Canadians able to pick any up while they're out Christmas shopping?
I need one Canadian.... Best wishes and many thanks! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

Cindy, please add me to your list of Americans wanting smarties. P.S. Thanks for doing this, it is a wonderful thing. My son really misses his m&m minis, and I think this will be a good substitute.
I must have done something wrong, my post did not show up. Please put me down as one American wanting smarties. Thanks so much for this thread!!!!
