Mini M&Ms? What's the point in "mini" M&Ms, besides a stupid
marketing ploy?

They mix in better in baked goods, like cookies.

Original sized M&Ms come in dark chocolate and they're pretty darned
good.

I have heard of them. I'd love to try some.

Bet they are not as good as the dark chocolate I get from this place:

I use it in my Christmas Candy, most notably to cover my Chocolate
Covered Cherries. YUM! :-)

LOL really? I worked at a bakery years ago and we made M&M cookies,
never noticed that the regular sized M&Ms were difficult to mix into
the batter.

You're more interested in the HUGE M&Ms, aren't you, lardass?

That's what I surmise. I got them from my friend who works R/D for
Panera. He was using them in some test products he's developing for
Panera.

Every mothersd day our HEB markets chocolate covers 2.5oz
strawberries and then rolls them in everything under the sun for
$3/pop (including slightly dehydrated jalapeno pieces). I didn't
know mini M&M's even existed except on Mother's day.

They dedicate 300-400 square feet and 4-6 personnel for this event.
Fathers day? Fresh brisket 10% off.

Ahh, that's where I've seen them before. The vending machine at
work. M&M cookies ($.75/bag from the vending machine at work, or
$.17/bag from CostCo when you by 30 bags.

A marketing ploy but not so stupid...

As the diameter of the candy decreases the ratio of cheaper sugar
coating to chocolate increases by the square of its diameter... ie. a
pound of 1/8" candy contains four times the sugar coating as a pound
of 1/4" candies. The smaller candies also require a lot less
packaging materials.

Go back to your 9th grade geometry class. A M&M is
three-dimensional object.

I keep saying how you never passed your GED... or you'd know there is
also solid geometry... sqwartz, you are truly an imbecile... a Mini
M&M has a higher IQ than you.

Yeah,. Solid geometry. It deals with three dimensional objects,
just like. Your formula is for a 2-dimensional perfect circle.

See, I went to college (several, even) instead of joining the Navy
to be a lowly mass-production cook.

Are you done babbling yet, or did you want to say more?
