I've always been a Reeses Pieces fan instead. And the two seem to be mutually exclusive--do you like your candy buttons to be hard when you bite them, or do you like them to dissolve into warm goo? I'm a warm goo guy. Plus the colors on Reeses Pieces seem less likely to give you rainbow diarrhea. You know, I’m not an M&Ms person. I’ve always been a Reeses Pieces fan instead.

They are also "mega" sized (really big ass M&M's). I am now the most popular person at work. I like the new color scheme. But I don't think they would sell less in any color. I grew up on Sixlets. I used to think that they were a poor man's M&M. I now know they are a totally different animal, and I still love them. They come in a tubish bag also. I'm a dark chocolate nut. Being that I don't like chocolate a whole lot, I can satisfy a whole year's of cravings with one bar of Hershey's Special Dark. It's also good for your heart.

I too got the dark chocolate appreciative gene that Kris has. [Does anybody know or care that a kris is one of those serious daggers with waves in it like a snake? Talk about dark.] But I'm going to find Smarties and see what the fuss is about. Maybe a blindfolded taste test. ROTFLMFAO!!!! I too got the dark chocolate appreciative gene that Kris has.

A boon for those poor souls whose rifles slipped due to chocolatey hands. M&Ms are very classy. Not only do they have white chocolate ones now, but they have dark chocolate ones, too. Mmmm. (And Mmm!) Plus, they help recover priceless works of art. Wha? M&Ms offered a reward of 2 million dark chocolate M&Ms for the recovery of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" (which was stolen, for the second time, a few years ago). Two days later, it was recovered. Coincidence? I don't think so. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060831/cgth066.html?.v=44 Stolen masterpieces recovered: M&Ms - 1 Smarties - 0 M&Ms (or Smarties) during wartime — there’s an idea.

Does that help your theory any? Or is it a sign of chocoloates taking on upper-class pretentions? Smarties are great! Apart from the fact that they just taste better (I will accept anyone's challenge to prove me wrong), they also usually come in these neat tubes. I don't think there are enough tubed candies in the States. Oh, and they're available in the Indian grocery store! They have white chocoloate m&ms now, available in less garrish, pastel colors.
