This is sweet snacking perfection. Mm, trail/chex mix, with raisins, cranberries, pistachios, chocolates, crunchtasic cornmeal, banana chips, almonds, cashews, and the option to add dried yogurt, well this beyond splendid.


I don't really care about the color of the chocolate candies; my first post was an indication of which M&M advertisement character was my favorite. This is really the only way to differentiate them in mind, other than the coloured baggies, an indication of whether the M&M's are classic(milk chocolate), peanut(legume), peanut butter(flavour), dark chocolate, mint, almond, dulce de leche(Latin markets), M&M's minis, Mega M&M's, the eight new flavours, and perhaps Punk.of.Ages's favorite specialty, "crispy" M&M's.

M&M's History

1990s

In 1990, Peanut Butter M&M's were released. These candies have peanut butter inside the chocolate center and the same color scheme as the other brands.

In 1995, Mars ran a promotion in which consumers were invited to vote on which of blue, pink, or purple would replace the tan M&M's. Blue was the winner, replacing tan in early 1995. Consumers could vote by calling 1-800-FUN-COLOR. (The introduction of blue M&M's to Australia in 1997 was controversially promoted by the Carlton Football Club of the AFL who swapped their trademark dark blue guernseys for pale blue guernseys—their first change since the early 20th century.[11])

Concurrent with the Blue M&M campaign, M&M's replaced their earlier kid-friendly and generic animated characters with computer animated "spokescandies" in their commercials. These include the team of the cynical and sardonic "Red" (originally Jon Lovitz, thereafter Billy West), who is the mascot for milk chocolate M&M's, and the happy and gullible "Yellow" (originally John Goodman, thereafter J.K. Simmons), who is the mascot for peanut M&M's. Other mascots include the "cool one", Blue (Robb Pruitt) for almond; the seductive Green (Cree Summer) for peanut butter, mint, and dark chocolate (Green is the only female M&M's mascot); and the slightly neurotic Orange (Eric Kirchberger) for other types of M&M's in general, who was initially not named after his color (for a time when he was introduced, he was known as Crispy due to his being a mascot for the now-discontinued Crispy M&M's, which debuted around the same time).

Around the same time, novelty M&M's were available in specialty stores, such as FAO Schwarz, in 21 different colors.

In 1996, Mars introduced a new M&M's candy: the "M&M's Minis". These candies are very small and are usually sold in small plastic tubes instead of bags. A video game, M&M's: The Lost Formulas, was also eventually released, based on this candy.

In 1999, Crispy M&M's were released. They were slightly larger than the milk chocolate variety and featured a crispy rice center. They were discontinued in the United States in 2005, but they are still available in Europe, Australia, and southeast Asia.
