- Peanut Butter - 6
- Peanut - 3

Shoulda known I'd miss an important vote.

(I would have voted for "plain" if I hadn't been disenfranchised.)

(But my vote isn't as enthusiastic since they introduced the blue m&m's - they are totally unnatural. I have to close my eyes to eat them.)

Peanut all the way. Sadly, I can't eat them as many places now, or I feel guilty and hope I don't set someone's allergies off...

Hey wait a minute. You posted the results, then two people voted for PEANUT, then you updated the results by adding two votes to PEANUT BUTTER. Sounds like fraud to me.

Or: "I thought I was voting for Ross Perot."

And my vote is definitely PEANUT.

NOT Peanut butter, but PEANUT.

Now my office suitemates think I'm insane, cause I'm sitting here in my little office giggling like a lunatic.

Oh, and I don't think I'm eating blue m&m's of any variety ever again.

Just a thought, but in light of the comments about (shiver) blue m&m's, maybe there should be some additional subdata provided in the vote?

Or do you want to leave that to us pundits? [Wink]

Peanut is definitely the best variety.

(I would say Peanut Butter, but I think the Reese's Pieces are much better. Reese's Pieces are downright addicting.)

Almond.

quid: if someone told you that American smarties are fruit flavoured they exaggerated. They are sugar flavoured with a hint of citric acid.

Peanut. The protein makes me feel virtuous. And my OCD soul thrills on the challenge of de-robing the candy shell with my teeth, leaving the naked chocolate/peanut center free. Free to be munched. [Evil Laugh]

Peanut M&M's useta be my favorite candy. Then they put the blue ones in, and I absolutely detest the smell&flavor of the blue dye they use. Can't even just toss the blue ones out cuz their stench cross-contaminates the entire bag.

sigh... I want my M&Ms back

Do ya'll remember when there was a contest to decide the new color in the M&M bag? America voted SO wrong on that.

They could choose between aqua, pink, and purple.

They chose pink. ARGH! Don't they realized that aqua is just light blue, and pink is just light red, and that purple is a COMBINATION of blue and red??

We could have represented all of the primary and secondary colors! I could have put my m&m's in a circle... red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange. Do you realize how much that would have completed my life? I arrange my candy's by color, okay??? I'll admit it! And now, where am I supposed to put the pink?? Off to the side?? *sigh*

Pshaw. I woulda voted for plain, until someone reminded me of mint. So mint it is.
