3]…they were perfectly fine.

What I LOVED about them was that they were stamped with a BLACK “M”, which is how M&M’s were originally stamped back in the early 50s.

So… naturally-colored M&M’s might be breaking news, but it’s also kind of old news. 🤔😉

1] There’s a big news story going around right now about Mars formulating a special all-naturally-colored M&M’s assortment.

And it should be a big story, in light of the more conservative MAHA movement and the more longstanding progressive “real ingredient” movement, both of…

But what seems to be lost in this story is that not that long ago this was already done: back in 2018. Back then, as now, Mars offered naturally colored M&M’s (Peanut) as an Amazon exclusive. I know, because I ordered them.

And…

This will be a prized possession. Like going on safari and killing an elephant. These will not survive the night.

@AdamRichman Unreal!!!

@GabrielValles @couchdoodles I think if you can remove all of the unauthorized work product usage to train the models (i.e. the theft), the points in favor of this merely as a tool make sense. Otherwise… no - it’s fruit of a poison tree.

Had the pleasure of working with Larry a bit at Marvel . Mostly as an assistant editor on books he was writing. I loved getting to know him and hear his stories. He’s a living legend and a quality human being whose artistic contributions reach across so many landscapes.

@TheGhostHost I don’t think I do. Multi-core/color soft chunk bubblegum was definitely a Hubba Bubba thing, and at times a Bubble Yum thing. I don’t recall if it was a Bubblicious thing.

[Jason Liebig @Collectingcandy]

Bubblicious Island Squeeze, circa 2001.

Introduced in the late 90s, this might have been the last new flavor introduction utilizing the classic 1990s Bubblicious look.

This era of Bubblicious has such a strong design core, I love them.
