Should it also mention that tan was not available for peanut M&Ms (at least in 1980s-1990s). Also, it seemed the plain tan M&Ms were fewer in proportion to the other colors (at least in the 1980s-1990s).

more colors

is there any point to mention the odd colors released this year in relation to the Star Wars film - off whites, pale yellows, very light tans and earthy colors, etc...

Also, the M&M's website allows you to order them in a whole rainbow of colors from white to black and in between... worth mentioning?

lastly, should the main body be changed to more properly integrate the second mention of the elimination of purple from the original mix, to where it is first metioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.35.95.181 (talkcontribs) 19:34, 25 September 2005‎


EDIT - The reasoning behind the pale colors of M&M's was representing the Light Side (or good side) of the Force relating to Star Wars. Since Anakin (and Luke) were both from desert planets, the colors were mainly a reflection of their background, I guess you could say. And in general, the pale colors have more of a passive or positive feel to them, whereas the Dark Chocolate (Dark Side) M&M's were all bold colors, representing strength, aggression, etc. of the Sith.

Sounds kind of fanboy-ish, but that's basically the reasoning behind the colors.

Trivia (again)

Does the bit about Kevin McReynolds and Carmelo Martinez being called the "M&M boys" really belong here? And didn't Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle have the same nickname? I figure if McReynolds and Martinez are notable for this, then Maris and Mantle definitely are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.197.19.242 (talkcontribs) 20:52, 7 June 2007‎

Hersheyettes

"See also" features a list of "Similar candies from other companies." Hershey used to make a product called Hersheyettes that I remember being nearly identical to M&Ms, except that they carried the letters H, E, R, S, H, E, (and) Y (as the original Hershey's Chocolate World ride explained). I swear that I have seen them on sale - only at Chocolate World - relatively recently at least once or twice. PurpleChez (talk) 19:59, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was misspelling it... it's Hershey-ets, and they are in fact still available at Chocolate World for Christmas. I added them to the article.PurpleChez (talk) 20:02, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Change kilocalories to calories (1 calorie = 1/1000 of a kilocalorie) MKMarlow (talk) 14:23, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't indicated why we should do this. Kilocalories are the commonly used form of calories when referring to food (see Calorie for more on this). GirthSummit (blether) 14:29, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
