Have you noticed any M&Ms in the stores lately? They are all black and white - no other colors. It's just temporary and they'll bring back the colors soon. It's an interesting marketing gimmick, and I think it will work. Often we don't realize how much we take things for granted until they are no longer available. But, bring back the colors!
And while they are at it, right about now would be a perfect time for a heavy duty promotion of the Mars Bar.
A lot of people who never buy M & Ms will buy a pack just to see the blacks and whites. I know a guy who did.

Appearance means a lot. As Gracie said to George Burns about her aunt, "she cooks with her eyes". How? "She looks at the stew and sees if it's done."
I just don't think the black and white M&Ms would look very tasty. But, it's a neat gimmick.

I think this will go over about as well as the new Coca Cola did.
Boy did they have to switch back quickly and bring back "classic" coke!

Are these online nttsleewers only for business people to sell their products? I have a blog where I show people my latest crafts and would like to create a newsletter to let my subscribers know of my latest info or newest crafts. Please let me know if anyone can create and use a newsletter.
