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!

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".

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

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

-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.
― Simon H., Friday, 14 May 2010 01:48 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― iatee, Friday, 14 May 2010 01:52 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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

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

no, no, that would be like loading a six-shooter with five peanut M&M's and one coconut M&M (actually a bullet), and having each player fire it into his mouth until something bad happens.

You guys, I'm going on 36 hours without having had a Pretzel M&M and no knowledge of when I'll be able to have one again. Pretty soon I think I'm going to see a baby crawling across my ceiling.

Ashamed to admit I've spent more than ten minutes playing one of these, they're really bad - luckily I ate three family bags while completing the first two levels so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
