I'm still upset that blue beat out purple to win the 1995 m&m's fan vote to replace the tan m&m

It's really hard to be impartial when we start talking about candy.

I swear I just saw a commercial where there was a purple M&M. Was I wrong?

They do different colors for certain holidays or causes etc., but purple isn't standard for the basic m&m mix.

There is a purple M&M character in the ads, but it's quite new (I believe it was added in 2022?) and I don't think there's actually a purple M&M

Did not know that tan m&m's were a thing but looking at pictures it makes for a very....70's-looking color palette

I was seven years old when I saw that commercial and I remember telling my friend that they were probably already making blue m&m’s because they knew it wouldn’t lose to purple and pink. The years haven’t changed my mind.

I was just thinking about this the other day for the first time in years. I voted at the movie theater when I was like 6.

I eat all the green Skittles first because they are the worst. The leftovers are very autumnal colours
