M&M's




M&M's are one of the most popular candies because people like chocolate and also colors.  Everyone has a favorite M&M color.  It should be a standard question when interviewing job applicants.  "WHY do you like the yellow ones best?"  It's a good question you could ask celebrities and star athletes too.  Especially during a scandal.

"IS THERE A COVERUP OF GOVERNMENT PHONE TAPPING?"

"No more questions at this time, thank you."

"WAIT!  WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE M&M COLOR?"

"Orange, thank you."

*walks off*


But of course, they are just colors, NOT flavors.  All M&M's taste exactly the same.  Some people dispute this and insist that they can tell the difference.  While these people are clearly insane maniacs, it actually would make a pretty fun competition.  a blind taste test with a lot of people in it and IF you somehow guess right you move onto the next round.  Kind of like the rock-paper-scissors championship where there's no actual skill involved, you just guess.  But SOMEBODY would win, by default.  Imagine if it was you, and you got to have that printed in your obituary later on.

SINCE they all taste the same, it is no problem for the company to change up the colors for certain holidays.  Red and green only for Christmas, pastel colors for Easter, shades of red and pink for Valentine's Day.  I like to pick out all the pink ones and store them until a different time of year, then just mix them in with the regular kind.  and even then you can pick out some of the usual colors to create a "custom" mix.  Pink, orange, and green M&M's only.  a big punchbowl full of them, like for a party.  Imagine a bowl of JUST yellow ones.  Not too appetizing.  Whereas brown ones only would be so visually appealing, they'd look extra chocolatey.

What is the candy shell itself actually made of?  It's such a thin layer, you don't really taste it.  But before the coating process takes place, doesn't there have to be a big vat or bucket of it at the factory somewhere?  Do the workers ever get curious and taste it plain?  Like just a big spoonful of blue M&M coating?  and what about the little white "m" itself?  It's tiny, but it goes on EVERY SINGLE ONE.  So whatever it's made from, they must have a lot of it in storage.  I bet they do shots of it.

Peanut M&M's are popular, but even though people like peanuts, they aren't AS popular as the M&M's that are plain chocolate.  Why?  Because you get less?  You really don't, the bags WEIGH the same.  There are a lot of other things you can find inside an M&M.  Pretzels, almonds, crisped rice, mint, coconut, and more.  You never find anything inside Skittles.  How come?  I bet extra-big lumpy Skittles with chunks of banana in them would be pretty good.  Or maybe even Skittles with a CHOCOLATE center!  The Skittles people don't think as big, I guess.  Plus maybe they don't know where to get chocolate.


Indiana Jones likes the mint crisp M&M's, evidently.
