When you open up a bag of M&M's and as you go through and eat them, you realize you didn't get all the colors? My last bag didn't have any green ones and I felt really cheated :(

Elaine you are such a nut! Laughing out loud here... thanks I needed that!
Now, a very important question. ;) Since green is your favorite color M&M, would a whole bag of green be a good thing, or then would you miss the other colors?
Kim, be nice and share some green with El. ;)
Now, where can we get you a green M&M fix... hmmm.... how about going for a ride in the green M&M car?
http://racersusa.com/new/262496450.jpg
or chatting on the green M&M phone?
http://www.online.uk.com/new%20licensed/smhnk33mmgst.jpg
Or, you could go get another bag of M&M's and cross your fingers for lots of green! (And if there's none again then you could start writing a conspiracy theory book ;) ).

and no nuts please !!

Elaine, I truly believe that about Kim...it is usually her fault for everything!!
Ok, that's it! No green ones for you either Beanmeister! :p
Actually, just to set the record straight.... I didn't buy the green M&M factory...Apolo bought it for me because.... well.... because he knows how much I love those little green guys.
Kim, be nice and share some green with El.
Nope. Sorry Lynne...no can do. Not until she apologizes over on the that OTHER thread. :smooth:
Now only Kim and Apolo will have all the fun!!!!
Eh...who needs green M&Ms....can't hurt though, right? ;)
she's such the twit
Oh huh! :mad:

07-27-2002, 03:18 PM
Well I have noticed in the peanut M&M's (I only eat those or Peanut butter ones... no real nuts and I hate plain chocolate) at least that there are usually very few green ones. I save those until the end. I was actually thinking lately how much I miss the colors I had as a kid. I remember when there were two browns and no red or blue. Then they brought the red back and I think they should have stopped there. Even though I like the color blue a lot I eat them first because I don't like that color as M&M's... anyway now to the important stuff.
I would be perfectly happy with a bag full of just green M&Ms :)
Thank's Beanie... I will gladly blame everything on Kim now :p
Oh Kim... can't you just ZIPPIT for once in your life :rolleyes:

Am I the only female in the world that doesnt like chocolate (yet is still overweight- must be all those glasses of white wine)
Not sure about chocolate but I hate when I am eating anything while paying attention to something else, dip my hand in the bag to get another and realise they are all gone!!!!
Or the worst ever... (for all those UK posters out there) when I am eating my fish n chips - always leaving my pickled onion till last - DH steals my pickled onion!!!!
Sorry for digressing - its good to get that tension out the system!
Why pay £000's for therapy sign on a board, be prompted into a little rant and heh presto its gone;)

babybelle, I am actually not too fond of chocolate. That is why mine have to have peanuts in them or peanut butter. I can't eat plain chocolate at all anymore. It is okay in small quantities but I don't crave chocolate ever! I'd sooner be happy with a big bag of caramels over chocolate any day!
Oh thanks so much Beanie!!! *Elaine give Beanie a big hug* I knew there were nice people out there unlike some people on these boards.

Thank you! I am a sucker fo r things like Nacjos and Dips etc, to give an example of how much chocolate I can eat (which is difficult *** US candies are differnet from UK) I could only eat about half a Snickers (MAX!), half a hersheys max and about 3 M&MS.
Now Wine Gums are a different matter - do you have Wine Gums (semi-solid Jello like candy) over the pond?

ACK!!! NOOOOOO!!!!! Man... Beanie's pulling rank...that's not fair!! :mad: What a major jip! I'll play nice with any and all other board members... but not Elaine. I need at least one to torture... come on, be a pal. ;)
babybelle, It sounds like you have candies over there, that we don't have. Either that, or the names are just different. Wine gums sound a little like what we'd call gummies... :)
helenabear
07-27-2002, 04:33 PM
babybelle, well I think I do a bit better with the chocolate than you do. I can eat a whole Snickers, but I cannot eat any plain M&M's (maybe one if I am lucky) and on a good day one "square" (or should I say rectangle) of a Hershy's bar. I'm not sure if I have seen Wine Gums before, but they sound similar to our gum drops here and I do like those!

Do it Beanie!!! I'd love to see that happen, but be sure that your CB Mod friends know the difference between Antonio and Apolo :)
Glad you think we are fun... I guess this is what you get when you have two naturally nutty ladies talk to each other :teeth:

are gum drops like gummi bears (only harder) if so we are talking the same candy lol

You could "settle" for a lifetime supply of M&M's in every color!!!!!!

babybelle, our gum drops are like gummy bears but they are just a tad harder. If they taste similar to gummy bears I am sure I'd love them!
Man you guys are too much!!! I go away for a short while to Target to get a few things and I come back to this???
C.Ann I love your idea!!!
Okay here's the deal! I went to Target for a few things and I just had to pick up my favorite Peanut M&Ms just to see if I was really cursed. Not only did I get green ones, I had SEVEN of them!!! :bounce: I'm happy now!!! :bounce: :bounce:

I would've been peeved about no green m&m's.:mad: Green's my favorite color. They can take out more of those dark brown ones.
helenabear
07-27-2002, 07:09 PM
Based on your experiences with the Cracker Jacks ennazus, I think I'll save my time in writing a letter then ;)
According to M&M's website, in my peanut M&M's the break down of colors should be as follows:
20% each of brown, yellow, red & blue
10% each of orange and green :(
In regular M&M's (and the tiny version of the Baking Bits)
30% brown
20% each of yellow & red
10% each of orange, blue & green :(
Crispy, Dulce de Leche and Minis are very PC and have an equal split of 16.6% each of all colors
Almonds and Peanut Butter leave out the orange ones and have an equal split of 20% of each color (of course w/o orange that is)
I wonder what will happen to my poor green ones when they bring the purple in :(
