I just saw that starting January 1st. They are gonna lose all their color for 2004! Well don't that suck. They are starting some promotion in which every one will be black or white until the end of the year in which they are going to have some "Willy Wonka" type promotion in which six lucky winners will fing the bag of M&M's with the "bright colors." Sounds kinda cool, but the odds of winning are like one in 300 million. Too bad, I'm gonna miss my colorful M&M's til all this nonsense passes.

I eat like a bag a day of them, so I guess I'm an addict. Chipmunks like 'em too!

I collect lots of M&M Memorabilia so I'm kinda curious to see what merchandise they'll have out for this.

Will they have an equal number of black and white m&m's in each bag? Wouldn't want Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to get involved....... :rolleyes :laughing I have seen even more ridiculous scenarios that have set those nutballs off.....

i wonder if they'll taste the same. Does anybody else find that the red, blue, and some of the funny-color M&M's (like the Easter pastel ones) don't taste as good as the regular ones? :mad

The whole year??? Sheesh.

We got some at the Wallymart. At first I thought they were left over Holloween candy.

Yes, and that drives me crazy! :rant No reason for a "promotion M&M" to taste funny. You are not the only one. Same can be said with the Halloween ones, the Christmas ones, and those funky like all the colors mixed on one M&M one, remember that goofy looking bag promotion?

And on this topic, when are they gonna introduce the Purple M&M character? I have been waiting and waiting with no luck. This will put that on delay I'm sure and will the current characters now with this promo lose their color, fall into depression, and go into chocolate rehab? :laughing

They better hope that there arent more white ones than black ones. Johnny Cochoran is looking for something to do.

I like the blue ones best. I really feel deprived.

I wonder if they'll have a divider down the center of the bag to separate the white ones from the black ones. :eek

Just kidding folks. Don't get your panties in a wad.

I don't like the promotion ones either, except for the Christmas ones. They're ok. Especially when they mark them down!

There is a slight differece in taste. I think this is due to the food color in the candy shell. I have found it difficult to find dyes, esp red, that do not add taste to candy. Most reds I have used have a slight bitter taste so it is hard to color something a deep red without adding a lot of dye. The "special" mixes and colors might be made in different batches and production lines than the regular which might account for taste variance.

There's like 20+ colors and you can order whatever you want of any color.

Anyone ever notice a variation in the taste of soda in different parts of the country? If you travel, take a few bottles of Coke or Pepsi and compare. Depending on where the regional bottling plant gets its water, there is a difference.
