M&M's in black and white

[FUNKMAN]

Mars is planning on going with colorless M&M's for the first part of 2004 and then hold a contest with a few bags containing 'colored' M&M's" and prizes to the purchaser of the 'colored' M&M's...

sounds like a 'seller' to me but i'm not sure how well the colorless M&M's will sell 'long before the colored ones are to be put out'

what do you think about this marketing scheme and does it remind you a little of Willie Wonka?

I already have a few bags of the Black and White M&Ms that I saw last week. The Black ones aren't really black, just a dark brown.

They should come out with their other colored M&Ms <img src="http://www.lyrics.com/d/difranco,_ani/ani.difranco.jpg" width=75> but not just on holidays (like the orange/black ones for halloween, Red/Pink/White for Valentines day)

They have 21 colors you can get on their web site (they come in 8oz or 5 pounds!) including Silver and Gold. (http://www.colorworks.com/mixer.asp?UID=2003123005471843&GEN5=)

So will people cheat by getting their old colored <img src="http://www.lyrics.com/d/difranco,_ani/ani.difranco.jpg" width=75> bags of M&Ms and putting them in the new B&W bags?

I got a little bag of Holiday M&M's in my stocking for X-Mas. They had different pictures on them with little messages. They're too cute to eat.

I had some B&W M&M's about 2 weeks ago. They don't taste as good without the dyes they use for the colors.

They've let you buy M&Ms with custom colors for a while now -- if you did it online you had to buy in super bulk and it was expensive and not worth it, but if you go to the World of M&Ms in Las Vegas they'll let you mix a bag of the colors you want, and they have a whole bunch of different colors (basically the pastels and other ones they use for holiday M&Ms.)

But they also had grey, which ruled. We made a bag of black and grey M&Ms with a dash of red M&Ms and called it "Goth Candy."

I saw those Black and White M&M's and I freaked out and started screaming in the checkout line because I thought I had entered Pleasantville on Earth 2.

Ever see a "black" person?

Satcam gets one of these : <img src="http://www.lyrics.com/d/difranco,_ani/ani.difranco.jpg" width=100>

Some black people are actually purple.

And the white M&Ms are white not pink.

Can they make black food coloring?

i just want to know if the black M&M's happen to be bigger than the white ones...

This reminds me of the movie Next Friday, the guy playing the Chris Tucker role talking about his ex girls fat sister, saying she knew all about the new Treats hitting the street before they came out. All the new Twinkie's, Hohos, bitch knocked over a Hostess truck....


Anyway. The Black one's aren't bigger, they are just dumber, better athletically, and have hair like Brillo.


Just kidding, I know a few black people.

Please don't hold my huge nutbag against me, or I'll hold it against you that you have flapjack tits

Then don't post in it. Do we need to reinstate the post whoring rules because of you?

[sr71blackbird]

I got the black and white M&Ms, but the black ones were all on the bottom. Whats up with that yo?



On a serious note, hes a question...

If you reached into a bag that contained only black and white M&Ms and can only take one out at a time, what is the minimum # of times youd have to reach in to get a pair of same colored M&Ms?

Ansyou might get a match on the first two times you reach in, but the third times you reach in, will have to match either the first or second one you pulled out.wer.

I just had some M&M's and I call crap on the whole color scam they got going.

They all taste the same.

It's just cause you see the color, you think it taste different but in fact, it's just a dyed candy shell. It is not flavored. Take a blind taste test, you'll see.

...with thanks to JustJon

[JustJon]

I disagree. The dyes they use do have flavour in them.

i had the black and white crispy m&m's not too long ago.. while i think they really taste the same, the whole thing just sort of bothered me. they looked like they were flavorless.

[jeffdwright2001]

I've had the black and white M&Ms, and they didn't seem to taste different.

But when I tried the Heinze green Ketchup last summer, it just threw me too much. I'm sure it tasted the same, but I just couldn't do more than one french fry in it.
