I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

I am down with the fact that most mass-produced American Chocolates are inferior. However, when you want Creamy Chocolate and/or a Peanut Coated in Creamy Chocolate -- Encased in a Colorful and Crunchy Candy Shell, M&Ms are the One True CCa/oaPCiCC--EiaCaCCS. YCCa/oaPCiCCMMayInFactNOTV.

Also, because I am earwormed and those capable should be too...

Sing the Smarties Song!
When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?
Do you suck them very slowly,
Or crunch them very fast?
Eat that candy-coated chocolate,
But tell me when I ask,
When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

shakes head pityingly.

Ah, you poor, poor creatures. Brainwashed into embracing the M&M over yummy chocolatey goodness.

That's a known side-effect from eating those inferior M&M wannabe thingies.

"When the world's run by fools it's the duty of intelligence to disobey." Martin Firrell

Julie, what are you still doing up?

The smartie dot com thing is because the UK company Rowntree's sold the Smarties name to an American company a long time ago.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...those inferior M&M wannabe thingies.

But why would anything wannabe an M&M? That would be crazy. Wanting to be a Thornton's Continental Truffle, this I could understand. But wanting to be an M&M? Next you'll be praising Hershey's kisses! Pah!

If I only had a brain...

Oh, I wish I were a Peanut M&Mmmie
That is what I'd truly like to beeeee

Not really. If I had to wish, I'd wish I were an apple tree.

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

M&Ms are just special and wonderful you sillies.

Smarties, otoh, are too flat. You could never stick a peanut in a Smartie.

Is now the time to start trotting out my "I have been to M&M world and it was fucking great" stories?

Most of them end with the telephone conversation between the friend with whom I was in Vegas and the boy.

Her: "Three freaking floors of it."
Him: "sorry?!?!"
Her: "Three freaking floors"
Him: "No..."
Her: "Three. freaking. floors."
Him: "I heard"
Her: "Three! FREAKING! Floors!"
Him: "Now see? I never would have gone in in the first place."

I loved M&M world. They had the best tshirts (EVA!) and M&M's"® COLORWORKS® I've never seen a Smarties memorial to match it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You could never stick a peanut in a Smartie.

Another point in favour of the Smartie.
