Did you ever notice that M&Ms usually have incredibly good quality control? You don’t see many that aren’t very regular, perfect in size and shape. This past Halloween I had a bunch of those little mini-packs, though, and it seemed to me that way too many of them were poorly built. Or the sorry mis-shapen speciments hadn’t been culled by the quality control process as usual. So I did what any normal techie would do: I began to collect them!
None of these are altered in any way, they are just as they fell out of the package. No, silly, not all the same package – but it sure would have been cool to get one pack containing nothing but mutants. Now that would have been something to write about!
The incidence of mutants has fallen way off lately (but every now and again someone will point one out to me). I hypothesize that Mars ramped up production while simultaneously reducing costs as the economy went into a tailspin, and quality predictably fell off. What do you think?
I have a green one with alien eyes and one orange one that looks like skeletor (who even has his own Facebook page!) Love the mutants.
Have you noticed that the number of 3’s, E’s and w’s has gone way up lately?
And did you know that the ‘m’ is actually printed on with edible ink?
Women are from Venus; men and candy are from Mars.
