I grew up in the '70's. The kinder, gentler days of Speed Racer, Gumby & Pokey, Romper Room, The Brady Bunch, Slurpees, Abba Zabba's and M&M's. I spent some time today cruising through the official M&M's website. In 1954, the phrase "melts in your mouth, not in your hands" was coined. In 1976, Orange M&M's were added. 1976 was also the year that Red M&M's were discontinued due to public controversy over red dye #2, which Red M&M's didn't even contain...I remember when that happened.
I was inspired to write about M&M's today, not because I ate M&M's today, not because I was craving M&M's today, not for any other reason than I was looking at photos on Facebook this morning and came across wedding photos from Mike & Emilie's recent wedding.
I don't know who decorated this little yellow love bug of a car, but I thought this was pretty clever.
Clearly, from this photo, Mike prefers peanut M&M's and Emilie favors plain M&M's.
So, my question to you all: Plain OR Peanut???
