Trivial Tuesday – What’s Your Favorite M&M’s Candy Flavor?

I thought this was going to be Trivial Tuesday until I discovered how serious I am about my M&M’s. Peanut M&M’s have been my favorite candy since childhood and to this day are a favorite stocking stuffer at the holidays and an absolute must to have with my popcorn while watching movies. This photo captures my three favorites and the fact they were on sale at my local grocery store, since usually you would only find the peanut flavor at my house. I can’t believe how quickly trivial went out the window when I realized I’ve never made it through taking family members to the emergency room or staying at the hospital with them without eventually finding the Diet Mtn Dew and M&M’s vending machines and they were the first candy chosen by astronauts to rocket into space in 1981. Amazing how many occasions require M&M’s – holidays, birthdays, lunch, road trips, stressful days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…

  1. They are for any day of the week. In our house peanut M & Ms are a big favorite.

    Hope you haven’t had to go to the emergency room too much.

    1. I might have to stock up sooner than I planned, our power is out and that’s another occasion when M&M’s are necessary. We’ve been very lucky to keep my mother out of the hospital in the last few years, but when I stayed in the hospital with her my dinner (and maybe lunch) was Diet Mtn Dew and M&M’s and they had great donuts for breakfast. Remember, stressed spelled backwards is desserts!! Over the summer I had to take my niece to the emergency room when she injured her arm and after they scared us with options we had never thought of, I had to quickly find some Diet Mtn Dew & M&M’s. Thankfully it was a partial muscle tear and hematoma and none of the scarier options. Her arm healed just in time to chase the puppy around.🙂

  3. Restrict them to any day with a y, 365/365, and to ensure balance and moderation, don’t have any on Feb 29th. Sorted!

    1. There was a brief time this year where I thought the Caramel Cold Brew would be the new favorite, but so far nothing has topped the peanut M&M’s.🙂

      1. Peanut is definitely a hard-to-beat classic.

  5. If I’m visiting America then I opt for peanut M&Ms if I need chocolate, because the peanuts and shell mask the taste of the American chocolate, which to my UK/European pallet tastes of vomit. I know it doesn’t to Americans because you’ve grown up with it, it’s a science thing I’m not being mean…Google “why does American chocolate taste like vomit” and you’ll find articles about it.
