Ughh...I'm sorry I just had to vent

Re: MY FH

please do and FM me if you find out if it is true. I always loved the story b/c it was something that he shared with me.

Ok, that was easy.

From the M&Ms official website:

Who would have guessed that the idea for M&M'S® Plain Chocolate Candies was hatched against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War? Legend has it that, while on a trip to Spain, Forrest Mars Sr. encountered soldiers who were eating pellets of chocolate encased in a hard sugary coating. This prevented it from melting. Inspired by this idea, Mr. Mars went back to his kitchen and invented the recipe for M&M'S® Plain Chocolate Candies.

M&M'S® Chocolate Candies were first sold in 1941, and soon became a favorite of the American GIs serving in World War II. Packaged in cardboard tubes, they were sold to the military as a convenient snack that traveled well in any climate. By the late 1940s, they were widely available to the public, who gave them an excellent reception. In 1948, their packaging changed from a tube form to the characteristic brown pouch we know today.

So your grandparents were right! M&Ms are like my favorite food, and I never knew the story.

Re: MY FH

They melt in your mouth, not in your hand - remember? Do the commercials still even say that?

Re: MY FH

Yeah the commercial used to drive me crazy because the color did melt!!!! Just not the chocolate but definitely one of my favorite candies.

ALso I love chocolate covered cherries although I strictly only eat them during the christmas holiday.

Re: MY FH

I think that if it is a personal thing that both of you love then you should do it.

Before we started dating (years ago) my FH would leave peppermint patties for me with notes on my car

we are tying them into our wedding somehow. Or thinking about the idea atleast.

Re: MY FH

U should do the same thing

for ur wedding tie the guest names onto the pepperment patties!!! and use those instead of seating cards!
