sure, I like the plain and Peanut and sometimes the holiday theme or in trail mix.

why is it that I read so much about M&M's being dead, if they were dead would it be $7.00
for them at the movies? sorry for the candy rant, but I can't sit idly by, while one of my favorite
snack treats are bashed (and neither should you)

when i was a little kid there were no blue M&Ms.
Instead there were tan ones. those were the days i tell ya!
once we voted blue in, and accepted it as a color associated with chocolate everything went to hell.

Necco wafers are totally awesome, I buy them by the box full at the dollar store and get enough rolls of them to last a few weeks.  I have loved them since childhood over 60 years ago!  They are NOT dead!

I agree the movie show charges too much for M & M's, as well as everything else they sell, including movie tickets. I have a very hard time justifying paying to watch any movie at the theater since you can usually see it for free a few months later online or on TV.

Overall, any blue candy or blue food for that matter seems strange and not natural.

but blue Gummi Bears are good and are totally natural. it's okay to eat them because they
are not an endangered species.

M&M's are definitely not dead!  They now come in 25 colors!  Better yet, you can personalize messages on 21 out of 25 colors with up to two lines of text nine characters long!  Thanks to looking a few things up in response to your thread, I now have my next promotional scheme!  Instead of handing out business cards, I'll hand out either bags of custom M&M's or individual ones with my name and phone number!

What if they melt in your hand and not in your mouth? Or you try to hand them to someone on a diet? Or to someone who really likes chocolate and just eats them all without first getting out a magnifying glass to read and then write down your contact info before devouring those delicious candies?

I bet lots of people who don't intend to actually contact you will ask for your "contact" info.
Doesn't seem cost effective but to each their own.

Trick or treat!

Those are gross. Even if they shape them like hearts and write stuff on them.

After I looked into the details further, the initial enthusiasm for my latest scheme wore off.  But then I had another idea for using them as a TF item.  It turns out you can also have an original photo up to 5 MB size of jpeg printed on custom M&M's.  It would probably be best to only offer TF M&M's with a portrait of the model printed on them to models I've worked with enough for them to find the idea appealing as a treat for themselves or others they want to share it with as a novelty.  I imagine that approaching completely unknown models with an offer of candy in exchange for modeling might seem creepy even if they're M&M's with their own portrait printed on them.  Then again, many models would probably rather have $50 in cash than $50 worth of novelty chocolates with their portraits printed on them.  This is probably an idea best reserved for the chocaholic models.

I stopped eating M&Ms when it was implied that they were sentient beings. It is also implied that they have something akin to gender. Does that mean they are capable of reproduction? OMG that means there's M&M porn out there somewhere. NO NO NO NO yikes

M&M's have been in decline ever since they passed on being the candy in a certain Spielberg movie.

If you leave them there long enough green M&Ms will melt in your hand.
