Sugar Puffs are called Smacks in Belgium?

And smack is actually sugar in Holland?

I thought I was onto a winner before my teeth fell out.

No, absolutely not.

I merely wish to point out that most people, when staying in Holland, tend to be a little less perceptive than usual.

I read ingredients, girlie, and wot stood out on the labelling was smack (though it may've been smak).

Still, the phonetics ring true and I always smirked somewhat at the irony and that.

I expect it would have been 'smaak'. It's Dutch for 'taste'.
