词源

From the British chocolate sweet Smarties. The blue-colored Smartie was temporarily withdrawn by the manufacturer until a natural blue dye was found – this led to a popular belief that the blue Smartie was withdrawn for causing hyperactivity, although brilliant blue FCF is not one of the food colourings associated with hyperactivity.
