What is up with the black & white M&M's???? They taste the same but why are looking for their color?
 
My son mentioned something to me the other day about this. Apparently they are running some sort of contest that if you get a bag with color, you are a winner? He didn't know all the details though.
 
They are running a Willy Wonka type contest.


From m-ms.com

1.Throughout the country are six black and white bags of M&M'S® Brand Candies filled with ALL ONE COLOR of candies—and a winning game piece. There's a bag for each color of the M&M'S® Brand color mix (red, yellow, blue, green, orange and brown).

2. The six people who find these game pieces will each win a 3-day/2-night trip for four to Los Angeles, California, including participation in the special 1-day M&M'S® Brand event, a 2004 Volkswagen® New Beetle® Convertible GLS in a color that matches their game piece, and $20,000 cash.
 
It's just a promotional gimmick. They have a commercial using Dorothy in B&W talking about how her dream had color (just like in the real movie).

I think it's kind of a silly promotion.
 

Thanks preshi. I think it is a stupid idea and only a 3 day trip to CA?! That's not enough time to see DCA! :earseek: ;)
 
but I HATE licorice!!! The smell even makes me gag. So if I see any BLACK candy, I automatically think LICORICE, and I get downright queasy!! So, I probably won't eat M&Ms this year, normally my favorite candy. Either that, or I'll eat them with my eyes closed.
 
If the black is the same as they use in the Halloween bags, it is NASTY!! Too much dye in them.......and I always have M&Ms around.
Good thing I bought 4 bags of Christmas ones :teeth:
Also, I have seen the small bags in the colors, don't know if they will go away once the stores have used their supply or not.

Actually they taste the same as the Colorful ones.;) I think they are grey and white, no black. I only had one bag of the M&M's Peanut, as that is the ONLY one I eat!:p

Does that mean someone would win a brown Beetle? Do they even make them in that color? :hyper:
 
I was wondering about the brown beetle too, I've never seen a brown one before. If you don't want the "non-color" m&m's, the Valentine ones are out! That's what I just bought!! MMMMMM!
 
I don't know about a Brown Beetle, but the alleged Black M&Ms I saw were really brown, very dark brown, not black. I could do DCA in a day, I have actually, 2 times. Great park, but not more than a full day.
 
My dad bought 2 bags and he thought only the bags were black and white. He and my mom were really upset about the color-less m&ms. I personally love the mint m&m's and wish they'd sell them year round.

tricia.
 
Another vote for year around Mint M+m's. Now where are all my green and yellow M+M's from our wedding?
