Copyvio?

The third paragraph appears verbatim in the about.com article linked at the bottom.

The Name

Does anyone know what the M's in M&M stand for?

Since they were developed by Forrest Mars and his son, I assume they stand for Mars and Mars. But I can't find this on the official site. Acegikmo1 6 July 2005 00:51 (UTC)
It says right in the article for "Mars & Murrie", Mars' business partner. I found this information in a book on the history of various pop-cultural American food products. I will have to find the book again, if you want a reference. --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 6 July 2005 14:00 (UTC)[reply]

This article says blue M&Ms were introduced in 1994 in one paragraph and 1995 in another. - Ace of Sevens

The official site says 1995. I've fixed the article. Thanks for pointing this out. Acegikmo1 22:42, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Purple M&M's

Anyone have any info on why purple was voted as the most popular new color, but never became one of the colors found in a standard bag? I remember the big deal they made about the voting, bigger than the one in 1995, and then... zilch. Sure, you can find purple ones in special bags, like Sith Lord M&M's, or at Easter time, but they weren't fully integrated like the blue ones were. Anyone know why? Not complaining, just curious (I thought all the choices were pretty terrible - I'd rather have the tan ones back).Kafziel


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?

Red's Comeback

I updated the article to reflect red's comeback properly in the year 1987.

Cult?

Me and my five friends worship brown M&Ms, does that qualify for us to be listed as a cult on Wiki?

I would think so, mate. Gorovich
