Crispy > Plain > Peanut > Peanut Butter

There's a heft to the peanut M&Ms I find appealing. Much like Jason Boltus, the physical build of the peanut M&M allows a few peanut M&M's to do things dozens of plain ones cannot.

However, much like Josh Felicetti, Peanut Butter M&Ms, while perhaps overlooked compared to the flashier versions of the product, brought everything to the table one could want in a candy. The crunch of the candy shell, the chocolate, the smoothness of the peanut butter. Unmatched.

You're crazy if you think the peanut butter M&Ms are better than the peanut ones!  I have an uncle who used to work for Mars Chocolate and when he used to let me watch them come off the conveyor belt you could tell the peanut version was made of a higher quality chocolate, gaining the reverance of the plant workers and other M&Ms.

I want evidence to back up your claim of higher-quality chocolate. "You could tell" is weak at best. And it fails to advance the peanut M&M past the peanut butter ones in flavor.

(Unless this is a really belabored metaphor to tell me you support Boltus over Felicetti...)

Do they still make the Peanut Butter ones?  Are they the ones in the Red packet?   Haven't seen them in quite some time...

Wait, Crispy is greater than Plain, greater than Peanut, greater than Peanut Buttter, yet Peanut Butter is unmatched?

Where do the pretzel ones fit into everyones rankings?

I think they're top 3, right behind plain and peanut.

But that's just me.

That counts, I used to love driving past there on the way to my Grandmothers house in Ridgewood, the smells coming out of that plant were regoddamndiculus, smelled like cookies all the time until someone decided that was air pollution and they were forced to put filters in.  I grew up and still live only about 10 miles away from M&M's.  We used to go there on Cub Scout and elementary school trips.  Always got a shoebox full of oops candies at the end of the tour.

Yeah, I remember those days when visiting my grandparents in Wyckoff.  Then, during college, as we drove down 208 my buddy from Ringwood emplored us to roll down the windows "because it smells like cookies!"  We all did and it smelled like a tire fire.

Did you say Ridgewood, NJ? Pep is thinking that's the hometown of former MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn's son, a teammate of Pep's at FCA Camp at Henderson Harbor on Lake Ontario back in 1972...a week or so after Hurricane Agnes flooded the Southern Tier. Pep wondered at the time, after heavy rains had cancelled his Biology Regents and sophomore class party and resulted in a week-long evacuation of Almond (which makes Pep think of the M&Ms with almonds), that Pep was venturing off to a place called "WATERtown."

All this talk of M&Ms is a handy reminder that z00's mother-in-law actually has an M&M "vending machine" in her department....which Pep has a key to....and Pep is the only staff member around at the library tonight. Please excuse Pep for a few moments after this post.

Actually Bowie Kuhn lived in Midland Park, right down the street from my Aunt Floss.  Midland park is right next to Ridgewood.

Heard some interesting news about young Mr. Schavo today from a professional colleague of mine who happens to be his uncle.  He is leaving Ithaca College and entering AU this January and will be taking part in spring practice in 2013.  So, it looks like the quarterback competition at AU next fall will have a new twist.

Good news for AU! And that has to be tough news for IC. I know he wasn't playing football but baseball is missing out, and from everything I have heard and seen he will be a big get for AU.
GO FISHER!!!

I heard similar rumors.  It would be fun to see him in the purple and gold!
