Blue M&Ms are wrong. With the true M&M color mix, when you put them on vanilla ice cream and mix them in, the ice cream turns a pretty peachish color. With the blue ones put in, it turns an ugly gray.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If I only had a brain...
I'm watching the Edwardian House slowly (one hour a night), and I just got to the episode where the Socialists showed up and got all the lower servants singing "The Red Flag", and I was very very very happy.
Do English socialists still sing "The Red Flag"? Does the Labour Party? Or is that hopelessly passé?
Signed, lives in a country where "socialist" is a big damn insult, and nobody ever admits to being one. Snif.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
red, orange, yellow, green, light brown, dark brown - these are nature's intended colo(u)rs for M&Ms. Blue? No. No. No.
Word.
I miss the light brown-- they were best.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
M&Ms are just brightly coloured candy. Pah. Fie upon them. Smarties, now they're chocolates. Oooh yes. And the orange ones are orange chocolate. Mmmm Smarties....

Yes, Betsy, the Red flag is still sung - even (last I saw) at Labour conferences. Mr Tony mumbles it embarrassedly, while the lefties bellow the "AND TRAITORS SNEER!" bit. The they do "Jerusalem" and we all get tearful together.

ADULTERATORS!!! (I don't really care if that's a word. Orange tasting chocolate faux M&Ms are dumb, thus they must call themselves Smarties in their efforts to deceive.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. Now, do Smarties pre-date the M&M, therefore being the one tru candy coated chocolate, or are they more recent, representing the concept being done right?

ita - you misspelled: Now, do Smarties pre-date the M&M, therefore being the trial run gone horribly awry, or are they more recent, once again proving the lesson learned with "New Coke", namely, you don't fuck with a classic?

Cindy, it's okay. I don't hold your having been brainwashed by mediocre US chocolate against you. You don't know. You can't understand.
