Okay, this is just getting out of hand. The candy and cookie companies have given up on “good taste”. For the past decade, hey’ve been throwing every food imaginable in a blender (literally), coming up with some of the most off the wall flavor combinations. It’s always the licensed products promoting the next blockbuster that seem to get stuck with the weirdest “limited edition” treats too.
Really, was ANYONE dreaming of someday being able to crunch through a M&M candy shell and ending up with a strawberry peanut butter filling? I know I wasn’t. And what does this have to do with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? I’ll admit, I haven’t paid attention to those robots in disguise since the cartoon aired in the 80s, but am I missing something with the “strawberried” and these new M&M’s characters called “The Twins”? Where’s the connection?
Strawberry & peanut butter. How odd. I suppose someone out there eats peanut butter & strawberry jelly sandwiches and thinks this candy is a great idea, but I haven’t met a person yet who does. The strawberry taste isn’t too strong, the peanut butter overpowers it, but it’s best to just stick with regular peanut butter M&M’s. Besides, if you wanna combine FRUIT with peanut butter, why not just go for the obvious and gives “Graped Peanut Butter”? That actually sounds decent to eat, even though someone somewhere right now is thinking “Raped Peanut Butter”. Shame on you.
Oh, and yes, I shamelessly ripped this image from MMs.com but only because the pack I bought at work was torn into and pulled apart like wolves on a lamb by my co-workers. After downing the whole pack like the last drop of water in the desert, the merely conceded they were “okay”.

I thought these were great! Way better than the last fruit outing with the Elvis Peanut Butter Banana Reeses.
Oh yeah, I remember those… :gross:

I agree with Carol. I might have given them a chance if they were called PB&J M&Ms, but the “strawberried peanut butter” moniker completely turned me off.
