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.

Hope this helps... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.151.197.4 (talkcontribs) 12:01, 8 July 2006‎

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

What are they REALLY?

Maybe I'm being naїve, but I think that the process for making M&Ms should be added to this article. Especially the "Melt in Your Mouth" sugar coating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.195.100.28 (talkcontribs) 13:31, 11 June 2007‎

Introduction date can't be

The given introduction date of "February 29, 1941" CANNOT be! "February 29" is a LEAP DAY. "1941" is NOT a leap year. As such, something about the introduction date is wrong. Research needs to be done to verify the so-called introduction date.70.190.214.167 (talk) 01:14, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
