    Default Coconut M&Ms

    Coconut M&Ms. They exist. They contain no actual coconut.

    Discuss.

    (Someone I know did a brief bit of work recently for Steam, and found some there, along with various other huge supplies of food, candy, ping pong tables, pool tables, TVs, games, etc. No wonder Half-Life 2 ep 3 hasn't come out yet!)

    Pretzel are better. And does it make me old that I can remember black m&m's?

    I cannot even fathom what kind of deranged mentality it takes to even CONSIDER putting prezels and M&Ms together. I like them both, but...separately. *shudders*

    Probably the same sort of person who thinks pineapple on pizza is a good idea.

    Because chocolate and coconut go together like... chocolate and peanut butter, or chocolate and strawberries, or chocolate and chip cookies.

    I realize that there are those who don't like coconut, and they're certainly welcome to their opinion just so long as they realize the indisputable fact that they are wrong.

    Both of those things are delicious. Pineapple pizza and pretzel m&ms. I mean chocolate covered pretzels are delicious, so why not add a delicious colorful candy coating?

    Not all that much. It's a game.

    I've had 'em. Not bad. Actually, they were reminiscent of a candy-coated crunch bar, though a bit softer.

    Perhaps we could put chocoloate-covered pretzels on a pineapple pizza...

    Pineapple by itself on a pizza is a little sweet for my taste. Cut the flavor with some ham, though... Chicken works almost as well. Wouldn't try it with sausage or pepperoni, though - then you get grease mixed in with sweet and the thought of that is enough to turn my stomach. Maybe if the sausage was very well drained...

    Almond Joy pieces are candies just like Reese's Pieces, but with Almond Joy. They're strange, but tasty. I'd imagine the coconut M&Ms are similar.
    Also, pineapple pizza is ok, chocolate-covered pretzels are amazing.

    We've sold coconut M&M's periodically since the summer of 2009. I finally got some this winter (first winter we had 'em, actually) and they aren't half bad. Pretty good, actually.

    We also had Strawberried Peanut Butter M&M's in summer 2009 as a Transformers promo (don't ask me WHY that flavor). They were popular but I wasn't a big fan. Kinda like a candy coated PB&J.

    If you order sausage and pineapple on the same pizza, it does get kind of strange. I still eat it, of course, but the grease and sour/sweet interact oddly.

    It's better if you make it yourself and drain the sausage, you're right. I make mini-pizzas out of bagels, and I fry some breakfast sausage broken into little chunks... Top it with mozzarella, cheddar, and colby-jack with a few pineapple chunks and you're golden.
    Are any of my tables still broken?

    Fresh. I loved it as a kid. My neighbor had a tree, and they would fall in my back yard.

    A pain to open, though.

    I fail to understand how they can be coconut M&Ms if they have no coconut. They sound interesting, but I find M&Ms to be a little pricey compared to other candies that are just as good. Also, I'm more a fan of plain or crunchy M&Ms.

    Hey, pineapple and pepperoni actually go decently together. Don't get me wrong though, the pepperoni is no replacement for ham. Toss on some bacon for extra yums.

    As for coconut M&Ms, I'd be more interested in an actual coconut. I can't remember the last time I've had M&Ms.

    It's just so bitter. How can you stand the taste?

    It can, however, happen that some people just have strange reactions to certain tastes. I knew a guy who would swear milk tasted bitter.
