Just out of curiousity, does anyone know if anyone ever wins any of these candy-contest thingies?
Every time I hear of one of these new contests, I keep having a mental image that the winning bag o’ M&Ms is sitting in a federal penitentary somewhere. Or maybe rotting away, completely forgotten, in a small gas station along a dusty stretch of I-10 in Texas…
There was a sweepstakes thingy about 20 years ago where pint bottles of Pepsi had letters on the underside of the caps. The goal was to spell out “PEPSI SPIRIT”, and in order to limit how many people won, they printed varying numbers of the letters, with one letter being printed least of all. That was the “R”.
I thought it was kinda funny that, all across the country, people were spelling out “PEPSI SPIT”.
Another irritating thing about M&M’s was their contest in which you had to enter some sort of code in their website to see if you are a winner.
The catch? You must register before entering the code. :rolleyes:
But I can’t… stop… eating… them. So my rage is still unvented. 
Worse yet, do they mean they plan on paying you a stipend every year…and then, when you’re a broken old man, subsisting on that meager 5 grand a year…along with what you’ve managed to scrape together from retirement or social security…they’ll take it from you and leave you to starve to death? Bastards. 
Well, I must say I just bought myself a little baggie of Groovy M&Ms, and I didn’t win either.
I noticed in my bag it was only the green and yellow M&Ms that were Groovy. :dubious:
I think that ALL the M&M’s have to be “groovy.”
Didn’t the little brother (M&M, coincidentally) in That Was Then, This Is Now be S.E. Hinton think his bag of M&Ms was groovy? Remember, in the bowling alley, before one of the Shepard boys jumped him?
Yeah, and look how he ended up! “I went to my stomach and the spiders jumped on me and the colors went in and out!” Most :rolleyes:-inducing anti-drug propaganda I’ve ever read.
