M&M’s so went there
July 11th, 2006
These “Mega” M&Ms, artfully photographed in New Buffalo, Michigan, remind me of Crayola’s “Bolder” markers. Remember? There were the plain Bolds, which I adored (especially jungle green), and then all of a sudden you couldn’t buy Bold anymore and instead had to choose between either Classic or Bolder. Bolder sucked! They were all so… extreme. That’s how I feel about these candy colors. All the colors except the light blue are a tad too bold for their own good, especially that nasty maroon. What was wrong with just being bold? Why must we overdo it?
P.S. Mega? Give me a break. I’d rather buy a bigger sack of regular-size M&Ms, one I’d have to swing around behind my shoulder because it was that cumbersome, than a normal-size bag of these new overgrown, mutant M&M’s spawn. Eating these jumbo ones makes me feel like a hoss because I’m so used to the noncommittal nature of eating regular M&Ms. Those are so tiny and harmless. It’s like eating air!
The candy itself should not make one feel fat. Waking up the morning after eating a sack of candy should make one feel fat. Aftermath is a bitch, but at least you got to enjoy the intake worry-free.
Happy 7-11. Get a Slurpee. They’re good for you.
