The new fancy M&Ms look diseased and apparently DO melt in your hand.

"Do you find M&M's annoyingly lowbrow? You're in luck!"

The reviewer doesn't seem to hold M&Ms in high esteem in the first place.

Do you find M&M's annoyingly lowbrow?

How much of a curmudgeonly tightass do you have to be to even ask that question?

I find M&Ms yummy cheap chocolate candy with an interesting history.

I like M&Ms, especially peanut ones, but these look terrible to me. No crunch, lumpy, and mushy? Pass.

Oh and I think that was satire in the original post and I took it to mean "Do we really need an upscale M&M?"

posted by rmless2 11 August | 15:59

Oh. That's very different. Never mind!

"No crunch, lumpy, and mushy?"

I don't trust this reviewer.

Wasn't that line a joke? Like, no one finds M&M's to be annoyingly anything. I don't even think Donald Trump would turn down an M&M as "too lowbrow", much less gasp in annoyance at the offer. "Fire my assistant! He is so annoying! Why? He offered me an M&M!"

M & M's are one of my favorite things. Have not yet tried the new ones ... the mocha flavor sounds good to me. I do love that crunchy shell, though, so if that's missing then I get why these would be less appealing. I will do some important field research and report back.

I need the candy crunch! I love peanut M&M's. They are my favorite behind Butterfinger and Take5.

Yeah, the picture shows M & Ms that look like old candy - like it was partially melted or something. Haven't tried them yet; I'm still clinging to the originals.

Ew. I had some of the originals after dinner tonight. Plain.

Hahaha, dersins-- I always knew it was true that the green ones make people horny!

Oh god, the whole reason why I like M&M's in the first place is because of their simplicity--tiny little eggs of peanuts covered with Chocolate... could there have been a better combination. And giving them a different colour was a stroke of genius!

"Do you find M&M's annoyingly lowbrow?"

I kind of find the idea that anyone can find a fucking M&M annoying, annoying.

Agreed, hadjiboy.

I think an even worse travesty is the new Snickers bar with caffeine, B vitamins and taurine.

If I want vitamins in my candy, I'll buy Flintstones Chewables.
