M&M's vs. Peanut M&M's vs. Almond M&M's

Wait... You can buy small bags of m&m's ?

My first thought was "only Smarties have the answer", then I realised they are probably not sold in the US. Original M&M's it must be.

*kicks ground and sulks off in search of sugar-coated chocolate confectionery*

No, these are Smarties:

We call those Rockets in Canada!

Smarties for the win. Every time I visit the states I have to take them with me.

There's coconut ones! I need those! I'll still go with PEANUT M&M's as my fave.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one.

Aside from the fact that I have read this exact post before..... I love you! LOL

My procedure to eat a Peanut M&M

- insert in mouth
- keep there long enough to heat / soften candy shell
- squish with tongue
- work candy bits off, chew and swallow them
- allow rest of chocolate to melt on tongue & swallow
- work the skin from the peanut off with teeth and swallow
- find the seam between the two halve, apply pressure until it splits open
- snap off the little nubbly bit on the end and swallow
- chew remaining peanut pieces individually and swallow

If you are consuming with a partner and they hand you one before you are done the last one, store the peanuts in your cheek so you can keep up.

Wow, it's hard to decide which is my favorite. I like a variety of M&Ms. Maybe M&M Mars need to produce a variety bag in which you have no idea which flavor you get. Just grab a handful and enjoy whatever you get.

Any 7-11 or convenience store you visit. At 10 M's per day, you might get a week out of the bag. And if you're too weak and give in, it isn't more than ~230 calories for the bag so the devastation isn't bad. But don't give in to temptation. It's a reward for how well you do.

I've got to go with the nuts....PEANUT!

NoeHead · July 2013

Almond M&M's!???!?!?!?!

Discuss.

chocolate covered nuts...longer nuts...WIN

anemoneprose · July 2013

I have M&M's like twice a year, usually when I'm on my lady time. It's always peanut.

What the hell with all those other ones, though. They're not really M&M's anymore, why not just call them something else?

xRay85Rayx · July 2013

Peanut M&M's all the way!!

elenathegreat · July 2013

Meh. If it doesn't have caramel in it, I can walk on by, but for caramel I will go on my knees...ohhhhh, the caramel...it calls to us, Precious...

Ahhrgh! I love M&Ms. I skimmed through all five pages of this topic to savour them virtually. I diverted myself by calculating the calories in 12 pieces of each kind of M&M (who eats less than 12 M&Ms at a time?). I won't be a spoiler by posting. I did learn that at least up to 2010 coconut M&Ms did not contain coconut.
