I guess Mega M&Ms are here to stay.
A new line of Mega M&M’s, which on average are 55 percent bigger than the originals, were introduced Thursday at Grand Central Station in Manhattan.
“It’s the candy that everyone loves, but with a bigger chocolate taste,” said Masterfoods USA spokeswoman Joan Buyce. Masterfoods USA owns the M&Ms brand and is a part of privately-held food manufacturer Mars, Inc.
While Mini M&M’s are popular among moms and kids, the new, bigger M&M’s are designed with adults in mind. “It broadens our portfolio so there’s something for everyone,” Buyce said.
I disagree. You’re still leaving people out. And according to people like Ken Livingstone and George Galloway, if you don’t include people, they end up being excluded and driven to terrorism.
We can’t have that, can we?
So, in the spirit of inclusion and multiculural sensitivity/diversity, what’s next in the world of M&Ms?
- Mesquite-Grilled M&Ms – Once upon a time, mesquite just grew everywhere, minding its own business. Then someone boneheaded Texan tossed his cigarette on one, it caught fire, and the rest is history. Well, except for the M&M part.
- M&Ms for the visually impaired – Who’s the wise guy who filled my candy dish with U&U’s?
- M&Ms for Girls – You can dress them up in ten different interchangeable outfits! Do their hair! Paint their nails! You can give yourself a candy-coating lip gloss!
- Mu&Mus – It’s all Greek to me. You like-a the juice?
- EmineM&Ms – M&M provides five million dollars worth of M&Ms to Eminem to use in his newest video only to find out he writes lyrics saying that the candies suck.
- Kosher M&Ms – A little something to nosh on, perhaps?
- MM& – Specially forumulated for Dyslexics.
- M&M. Night Shyamalans – They’re hugely popular, have widespread critical acclaim, and right before you finish them you get a surprise twist aftertaste that lets everyone down.
If you don’t see these varieties of M&Ms, rough up your neighborhood grocer today until he puts them on the shelves.
(Don’t believe his lies! He’s hiding them in the back!)

What? Moms aren’t adults now? Sheesh I wish people would quit changing the rules all the time.
Maybe they’re thinking of kid moms, like pregnant teenagers or something?
Point taken. thx
What I want to know is: whatever happend to dark chocolate M&Ms? There were those clever Star Wars commercials promising them… and then nothing. I’ve never been able to find them in the stores.
Excellent. Got a good hearty laugh from some of those.
Smith, I saw those in Target…personally I thought “YUCK! Dark chocolate M&Ms?? Ewwww” but hey, different strokes right? They’re probably on clearance by now, since the Star Wars movie was exciting for all of what? a week?
What happened to the dark chocolate m n m’s? I can’t find them anywhere, and they were advertised heavily.
Medium-and-M’s, tells your future, speaks to the dead.
MnO’s, make you P.
M&M are already Kosher. You need to sue!
S&M’s: they like it rough.
And for those with short attention spans: M&M&M’s
Woah, sugar rush.
i don’t know what the problem was with finding the dark chocolate m&m’s… i saw them everywhere while they were out. ate several large bags of them. in roughly the same amount of days…
hmmm… daaark choooo cooooo laaaaate.
MM& is for Forth programmers (or HP calculator users)
How about the Polish version of the product?
M&W&E&3’s
Two things: First, whatever happened to the caramel M&Ms (they were called Dulce de Leche, which is Italian or Spanish for caramel. The litteral translation is something like “Sweet Cream”. I need to really work on my rambling problem.)? I thought that those were pretty good.
Second: Does this mean that Laurence Simon is going to become an official member of the IMAO blog team?

P.S. if you happen to know what happened to the “Dulce de Leche” M&Ms, do let me know.
P.S.S. I liked those dark chocolate ones.
Why am I having trouble finding the Mega M & Ms without peanuts. Everyone has those but not the plain ones. Are these also going to become scarce like the dark chocolate plain ones?
