M & M's - Coconut & Wildly Cherry - MOBI Report from Chris Norton

Once again - Chris Norton has found some unique foodstuffs for us to be aware of. These flavored M & M's were spotted at Walgreen's Drug Store. He notes "Where does it end?" - which is a very important talking point. The new trend of releasing limited time only flavors of established 'standards' in the foodstuff arenas has become a common practice. The FPT staff has seen this with Cheetos, Doritos, Reese's, and many other common popular foodstuffs.

John from our IT department has volunteered to begin assembling a database of these limited time only editions of branded foodstuffs. We hope to have this online soon with full specs and photos.

When it comes to limited time flavors and experimental undertakings such as doritos collisions, i am all for it. However, i do not support such endeavors with brands such as M&Ms. I have no reason really, i just think Peanut, Regular and Peanut Butter M&Ms are enough. I wouldnt even try these offerings, even if they were free.

I dont know who you are, or how you know my name is "ed" (which it may or may not be) but i will never eat those GD M&Ms, of that i can assure you.

I like cherries, but despise anything cherry flavored.

The coconut m&ms are interesting though! would try.

I hate to break it to you "Ed", if that really is your name...but at one time the peanut butter M&M's that you so graciously tolerate were a LTO. Most new products that come from already established companies are released to test the marketplace. If they're wildly popular they usually become a regular product, if they're mildly popular then they got some profit off of it and will move on, and if it's not popular at all then someone just got fired. LTOs are fun and I can't wait to try these new M&M's!
