So, I was thinking the other day:

-What happened to tan M&Ms?
-What happened to those other two Twix flavors?

Anybody got some answers?

They fell down a hole and died...No, they probably just weren't successful in the trial runs. That happens a lot with food companies...they try limited releases with new products, and if they aren't successful, then they are nixxed.

When they changed the caliber of the plain M&M's, they found that tan just wasn't as efficient a casing. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Actually, they did away with tan and one other color and added the colors chosen by consumers in a contest of some sort a few years ago, didn't they? Seems like that is how the blue M&M's came about.

My guess on the other flavors of Twix is that they just didn't sell enough. If they do still make them, they must not be popular enough to make it into your market, or mine for that matter.

Remember Zero bars? The outside on the inside, and the inside on the outside candy bar? I always loved those, but I haven't seen one in years.

That's true! There used to be dark and light brown m&ms, now only dark... how curious! I have to say I don't love the black and white m&ms they have now. The white ones just look like when you suck a normal one and all the colour comes off. Yick!
