Does anyone remember getting that rare M&M with a burnt peanut in it? I drew a cartoon about that, back in the day (back when this thread was a non-zom).
btw, It’s cool to be part of an over-a-decade-old-thread . . . (wow, 2000; I was a Board Noob, just lurking back then…)
I still bemoan the loss of the tan ones. They tasted best.
I remember being 10 years old and taking a long bus ride by myself with a bag of almond M&Ms. They were so good.
The tan ones were the worst! I always ate them first to get them out of the way.
Do you know why there are no more tan ones? Because they were so unpopular! Everyone hated them! What’s the matter with you, anyway?
Just a stab in the dark, but could some of the M&Ms (the good one!) have been made in another country? I’m just thinking about how much better chocolate is outside the US.
I’ve never gotten a burnt peanut that I recall, but it seems I get around one M&M per every two bags or so without any peanut at all. Anyone else?
Is it still shaped like the peanut ones? Does it have a hole? I’ve had that. Just a regular M&M thrown in? Nope.
They look like regular peanut M&Ms. No holes and definitely not a regular one.
People have always thought I was strange because when they ask what my favorite M&M is, plain or peanut, I reply by saying that my favorite is actually the peanut M&M that doesn’t have a peanut in it.
You can empty a big bag of peanut M&Ms into a bowl, and the ones without peanuts are always the perfectly round ones. I make sure that when there’s a bowl of them at a party to sort of sneakily go thru the bowl with the spoon and pull out all the “good ones” that don’t actually have peanuts. I’m weird that way, what can I say?
Does anyone remember the M&M-like candies in the 80s that tasted like mint chocolate? They were the same shape as regular M&Ms, but only came in brown and green, and had little crowns printed on them. Damn, those were good.
There are mint M&Ms and coconut M&Ms out now. Both are delicious.
I eat peanut M&Ms almost exclusively in the darkness of a movie theater, and never looked carefully to discover this. I will do so in the future.
I, for one, do not approve of the color change they did about a decade ago. Now the orange is almost neon - waaaaaayyyyy too bright - and the ratio is all off.
Still tasty, though, especially if you’ve stashed them in the freezer. (My fond memory: We weren’t allowed snacks in class in high school but I’d usually sneak some M&Ms into history class and surreptitiously eat them, one by one, slowly, to make the time pass.)
Here’s another vote for missing the tan M&M’s! Blue just never seemed the right color for an M&M.
It’s been almost 4 years - I thought it was time to resurrect this thread again 
I’m eating peanut M&Ms as I write this, which by the way is my favourite confectionery hands down! To all those talking about the burnt peanut, I occasionally get them in every new packet, I’d say about 1 in 10 peanut is burnt. They’re delicious and a nice surprise - because they’re rare they’re a nice treat but not sure they’d be as valuable if the whole packet was full of them
