Yeah, ditto. I got mine from Wally World. ---

> [@Biffy\_the\_Elephant\_Shrew](#): > > Don’t get too excited. The coconut M&Ms don’t contain any actual coconut, just artificial flavor. They’re rather disappointing, and I love both M&Ms and coconut. I’ll go futher and say they’re plain awful. But don’t despair! What you really want are these: [Almond Joy Pieces](http://www.hersheys.com/products/details/pieces/index.asp?name=ALMOND+JOY+PIECES). Contain actual coconut (and presumably almond, although I can’t taste it). Delicious. Around here, QFC is the only store chain that sells them reliably, but you can find them online. ---

Yeah the coconut ones aren’t very good. They just have no taste. It’s like an M & M with no chocolate, just super sweetness. ---

> [@Simplicio](#): > > Oddly, I like chocolate covered pretzels, but don’t like the new M&M’s. Not sure why exactly, maybe the pretzel:chocolate ratio is off or something. My sister says it’s the wrong type of chocolate. WE buy chocolate covered pretzels all the time, but she hated the M&Ms. As for me, if sis doesn’t like 'em, and it’s made of chocolate, then I probably won’t either, and I don’t see wasting my dwindling cash reserves on it. ---

M&M’s releases a feature flavor about once a year. Past ones included strawberry and peanut butter, coconut, cherry, mint, raspberry, and caramel. ---

I switched to eating only good dark chocolate a few years ago. I know it’s supposed to be better for you but to me I find it more satisfying because it’s not overly sweet and I can taste the chocolate flavor… Anyway, I once got some that had a tad of sea salt sprinkled on it. DEE—LISH!!! Sorry, I don’t remember the brand–maybe Lindt. I have to see if I can find it again. ---

I got my bag in the mail yesterday from the Facebook promo. I love chocolate covered pretzels, but these were just meh. Was it the candy shell, the chocolate, the pretzel? I dunno, but I highly doubt I’ll buy more. (The Take 5 candy bar does rock!) ---

Got some today… meh. Too much sweet, not enough salty for me, but they’re OK. ---

> [@luv2draw](#): > > Anyway, I once got some that had a tad of sea salt sprinkled on it. DEE—LISH!!! I’m eating a brownie bite sprinkled with sea salt from Trader Joe’s as I type! (They’re packaged that way – little squares of brownie with flecks of sea salt on top sold in plastic container.) Like little bites of salty-sweet heaven. 🙂 I’ve gotta get me some of that Almond Joy candy. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-tried-pretzel-m-ms/537688.md?page=1)
