Green M&Ms make you horny

Posted on | February 11, 2009 | No Comments

I was at Target today and saw that M&Ms has packaged bags of green-only M&Ms for Valentine’s day. I giggled a lot and thought how funny and clever the packaging is. On the bag, it has some wording about “the new color of love” and the green M&M character saying something like “sweetie, it’s all true.”

The stockboy (man, actually) looked at me funny while I stood in the aisle laughing and I told him what I was laughing at. He said, “Yep, they have them for every holiday now.” He completely missed the significance of GREEN M&Ms for Valentine’s Day.

Way to go M&M/Mars for capitalizing on an urban legend. Very clever! Your reward? I bought a bag of green peanut M&Ms. I am now entering to win a trip for two to Paris on your website. Wish me luck!
