M&M's poll

iatee must you be on the wrong side of everything

okay I had never heard of Abba-Zabba until just now, I am certain you grew up in wacky backwards land where Bit O' Honey had a flavor beyond "suspiciously waxy"

sometimes I feel like we were born to be arch enemies xp

I do like the packaging. Prefer the candy variety of Mary Jane, though.

As opposed to the herbal variety, since someone just mentioned getting hi.

"you're going to be the kind of kid who likes to get high, aren't you?"

See also, Mary Janes.

whoops, xpost.

lolling at "see MOON MAP offer on back"

oh man, the vending machine here at work is out of peanut M&Ms

Bit-O-Honey first appeared in 1924 and was made by the Schutter-Johnson Company of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Bit-O-Honey was a new kind of candy bar consisting of six pieces of candy wrapped in wax paper and then packaged in a wrapper. The candy consists of almond bits embedded in a honey-flavored taffy which makes for a long-chewing candy. It is possible to purchase the larger, candy bar version, or a bag of smaller, bite-size versions. Between the mid- and late-1970s, a chocolate-flavored version called Bit-O-Chocolate was made, but this product was later dropped when customers confronted with the sheer terror of a chocolate flavor Bit-O-Honey were observed killing themselves in the candy aisles of several midwestern grocery stores . Bit-O-Honey was acquired by the Nestlé Company in 1984, which continues production. Bit-O-Honey is similar in style and packaging (single pieces) to Mary Jane made by Necco, of which no-one has ever heard.

holy lol

didn't realize chris ware was designing candy wrappers in 1924

the nuts in Bit-O-Honey - peanuts? no. almonds? too west-coast, unacceptable. macadamias? what are you, a wise guy? filberts are filberts only will please the discerning Bit-O-Honey customer!

I don't get this

Back when I was a lad, Bit-O-Honeys, Mary Janes, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Abba-Zabbas were all well-known to be "bullshit candy".

when chris ware sleeps, he imagines he is a candy bar designer in 1924

there are a lot of old-school candies that seem to have been created in an attempt to harm children

spoken like a true defender of scrappy doo

hey now, no need to get nasty (like Bit O' Honeys)

STFU and pass me some Sprees.

omg YES

Sprees are watered-down wacky wafers but I gotta come correct: I am a guy who has ordered, and eaten, an entire display-case of these & who until recently could stomach & pronounce good pretty much any swill ferrara pan cared to serve up

ok attn everybody we have pretzel here in down and I just ate my first one

and now my 2nd one

people

these are the god damn holy grail

-coconut M&M's are bizarre because they have roughly the texture of the shredded coconut you find in Mounds bars, but the flavor is virtually the same as plain ol' chocolate M&M's. they didn't even bother to dye the filling white, so it looks like lumpy compost when you bite it open.

-peanut butter M&M's are, I guess, Mars's attempt to quash the Reese's Pieces monopoly. they live up to their name, but I prefer the crumbly texture, slightly smaller size, and fall foliage color scheme of the Reese's. weirdly, I didn't even know pb M&M's existed until about a year ago.

-the dark chocolate ones aren't dark enough to stand out from the rest. I could definitely go for 70%-80% cocoa M&M's, but I doubt there's much of a market for them in the US.

-those tubes of M&M minis are waaaaay too easy to wolf down in one sitting.

-crispy RIP. truly, u dont kno wut u got til its gone.

pretzel M&M's: never had 'em, but underrated aerosmith has me intrigued.

went to the big m&ms store in times square after work just to get these. got a big $5 pack.

gf thinks they're like a superior version of crispy - that's def the first thing that comes to mind. these are no doubt in the top tier of m&m.

Almond, no question.

the interesting thing about these is that it really matters how you eat it - it's not nearly as great if you suck the chocolate off the candy and then eat the pretzel part. that's the way I eat peanut m&ms so I have to adopt for these. a lot of the appeal is in the salt/chocolate interplay - gotta crunch right away.

these are as close as I can come to getting the chocolate-and-caramel-covered pretzel rods sold by mr. kite's on state street in Chicago, which are some of the finest noshing to be had anywhere at any price

wait iatee are you saying there's an official M&M's store near where you live & you're not making moves to squat and/or live there permanently? what is wrong with you

ARGH must have this candy

eating them right now

oh man

seriously h8 u guyz >:[

want

I might have to abstain from my own poll - don't feel like I can truly make up my mind w/ this v. peanut

like maybe in a year but def not in a day

peanut is the don but this young upstart pretzel m&m has his eye on the whole organization - I see which way the wind is blowing - respect to you peanut m&m but maybe it's time for you to spend more time with your grandkids

"the don is ready to see you"

lol iatee

senator... M&M.... governor... m&m...

Have any of these other than the first two ever made it outside the USA? I certainly don't remember ever hearing about any of those here in Belgium.

okay I just had an epiphany that can only be shared w/ my fellow 'in the know' pretz people

a big bowl of these MIXED with peanut m&ms

so each time you eat one you don't know which one you are gonna get

think about it

schrodinger's m&m

hell would be a single coconut M&M hidden in a big bowl full of MIXED pretzel and peanut M&M's.
