Chow Pretzel m&ms!! Or: Dear m&m's, You Are Forgiven

Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 3:42 PM

Remember last year when m&ms tried to get creative and they released this shit? I thought it was a joke. As one clever Slog commenter put it (Joh? Was it you?), "It's like eating a handful of peanut butter m&ms after making out with a 13-year-old girl wearing strawberry lip gloss." They were totally disgusting. They were unforgivable.

The disappointing coconut m&ms released soon after weren't much better. Too artificial—they should've mixed real toasted coconut into the chocolate (DUH).

I was ready to give up on the entire m&m franchise altogether when an m&m miracle happened: PRETZEL M&MS.

They're fantastic. They're like the delicious and addictive crispy m&ms but they're bigger and rounder and saltier (that's what she said). And they're currently on sale for 50¢ at the Broadway and Pike QFC.

You're welcome.

I dunno, I kind of always liked the way strawberry lip gloss tasted.

I bought some Orange M&Ms in Japan. Orange-flavored candy coating and chocolate on the inside.

Oh damn. These sound way to good to be successful.

Funny - I read earlier this week somewhere where someone had written something to the effect of "Really, what other viably edible types of m&m's could they possibly come up with at this point?" And I thought, yeah, there are totally none left.
I guess I don't have much of an imagination

What was up with the coconut M&Ms, recently? Why did I think it was a good idea to try them? Ewwww

Bigger, rounder, and saltier? I'm in!

That was totally Joh who perved out on 13-year-old girls and their lip gloss and peanut butter for your ear's amusement.

Actually it was Jessica, who said "Licking strawberry LipSmackers + eating peanut butter M&M = every stoned teenage girl ever."

A bunch of candy makers are offering new flavors. The trade off seems to be the size of the package. New flavor = less candy.

@11 I remember that too! But I'm 99.9% sure Joh also said that quote when I brought a bag of them to Slog Happy at Captain Blacks. I think? Joh? Someone tell me I'm not crazy.

I may just have to cheat on the Take 5 bar for these babies.
