Does anyone else...?

Find the M&M premiums commercials somewhat morbid..

why would a M&M make a commercial about eating "higher end" M&Ms

why do the smaller M&M candies not have personalities...

It's disturbing that M&Ms are cannibals... are the small M&Ms that they eat babies? or maybe another race of M&Ms that they were maybe born without appendages .. so they are viewed as so low in an M&M society that they have become food..

lol just something that always strikes me as weird whenever i see those commercials

As in, who's behind the counter? just employees really, labor's cheap enough that the store owners rarely have to work

eTiMaGo- do you have the crispy M&Ms over there.. they discontinued them here but i tend to see them on ebay in asia.. if you happen to see them LMK i'll pay you to get me a bunch and ship them over. My sister in law was addicted to those.. then they stopped selling them over here...


The premium ones are like $5-6 for like a hand full of them ..never felt spendy enough to buy any to try them

I never saw it as that I don't think making the M&M's appear 'sexy' is the right way to go about marketing them.....


and another sidenote to TINY....have you seen if Dorito's 3D are still made anywhere?
