Why Red M&M's Disappeared for a Decade (2014)
- jakeva 11y agoThis part actually had me laughing out loud (I guess I don't understand other people's passions as well as my own): "Is my life worth living without red M&M's? This is the question I had often asked myself. For many years now, I have somehow managed to go on, thinking there was nothing I could do. One person against the world! But now I have a purpose, a meaning in my life. My life is meant to give re-life to the red M&M's."
- pcunite 11y agoAs a child I longed for a "blue" M&M. Even though I repeatedly gave into buying these candies that melted in my hands and crackled in my mouth, when the last one was consumed I felt an emptiness ... a blueness ... on the inside. To help with the growing bitterness, I battled friend and family over the green ones ... trading out ugly yellow whenever possible. *based on a true story.

- VonGuard 11y agoGreen ones make you hit home runs. And the red ones are made with beatle wings, right?
- DerekL 11y agoMaybe you're thinking of carmine, which is a red dye extracted from insects. But that's different from either of the red dyes used in M&M's.
- jeffwass 11y agoThe grandparents comment about 'green ones' is from an American m&ms commercial from 1985. http://youtu.be/ap6pAUBsl30 http://youtu.be/ap6pAUBsl30
- analog31 11y agoAs I seem to recall, there were also suspicions circulating about red food dyes and hyperactivity in children. That's what I expected to read about when I clicked the link.
