   IS Robin drinking Hi-C, while riding a mechanical pony, and holding what appears to be a plastic shopping bag full of cigarette butts?

       I figured it was a plastic bag full of Smarties. As if she needed more sugar in her diet…

         Could also be Pixie Stix. Those are probably Robin’s equivalent to cocaine.

           I’m going to cast my vote for rolls of quarters. If you look by her left foot, it looks like one of them broke open.

             They’re definitely Smarties, they’re the size of cigarettes but break open into little pellets. The pellets are too small and thick to be coins. Plus I think it hearkens back to a thing in It’s Walky where someone buys three pounds of Smarties to eat instead of food.

                 Took me a while to realise what candy you guys are talkin’ about. In Canada, your “Smarties” are called “Rockets.” (It’s what’s printed on the label.) They are what cheap-ass grown-ups give out on Hallowe’en.

                 Our Smarties are candy-coated milk chocolate and have been around longer than m&m’s have been in Canada. They’re also bigger & flatter, and the whole point is that they DO melt in your hands. Otherwise, how ya gonna paint yer lips hooker-red at the wise old age of 5?

                 “When you eat your Smarties,
                 Do you eat the red red ones last?
                 Do you suck them very slowly,
                 Or crunch them very fast?
                 Tell me;
                 When you eat your Smarties,
                 Do you eat the red ones last?”

                 Okay, Smarties are small candy-coated chocalate spheroidsthat come in different colours.
                 You can’t get them in America.

                 Instead, there are those diSk shaped tablet candies that come in rolls and are really cheap, also called Smarties.

   So Amber didn’t need Mike to be evil. The evil was inside her all along.

   shouldn’t you be more worried about the saddle area? unless it’s just a messy bit of artwork, it looks like robin’s getting drunk and “substituting” for the one that got away…

       I was worried it was the result of too much Hi-C.

    @maggPi – Canadians have both Smarties and Rockets, sir. At least, Nova Scotians do.
