    What was banished from the tube in 2006 and then made a comeback in 2008?

    Question #107078. Asked by ebrockuk. (Jul 14 09 5:06 AM)

    		Blue Smarties.

    "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. Nestlé decided to replace all synthetic dyes with natural ones, but as they were unable to source a natural blue dye, the blue Smarties were removed from circulation, and white Smarties were introduced in their place. White Smarties were later removed from the range, and blue Smarties were re-introduced in the UK in February 2008, using a natural blue dye derived from the cyanobacteria Spirulina (genus)."
