I miss the blue Smarties :(

I know it's old news but I have got caught in time, my life got paused that fateful December day 2005... any how I'm a candy addict and Smarties has been my number one favourite since I can remember. It took me a while though to notice a small change of the colours of the delicious candy pieces but I didn't pay much attention to it until today...: (info from wikipedia)

"In 2006 it was announced that Nestlé were removing all artificial colourings from Smarties in the UK, owing to consumer concerns over the effect of chemical dyes on children's health.[2] Nestlé decided to replace all chemical dyes with natural ones, but as they were unable to source a natural blue dye, the blue Smarties were removed from circulation..."

I know that the blue Smarties were re-introduced in February 2008 but apparently only in the UK. We have a really boring colour range in Sweden without blue- and as far as I have noticed mauve Smarties (i haven't seen the white one either... never ever). Man I miss the blue Smarties, now i can't eat the Swedish flag :,-(
