Green M&M's®, manufactured by Masterfoods USA, have long been the subject of myth as they are considered, by some, to have magical aphrodisiac powers. Whether or not this is true is, of course, subject to interpretation (and personal experience).
Curious as to how this myth may have occurred, we did a little informal research and learned the following fun facts about the color Green. According to Celtic myths, the Green Man was the God of Fertility. Green has long been considered a metaphor and symbol for fertility, and this was evident in the 15th century as Green was the preferred color for wedding attire. The symbolism attached to the color green continues today even though it has taken on a more modern meaning.
The myth about Green M&M's® was fueled in the late seventies and early eighties, as rock-and-roll performers like Van Halen requested bowls of Green M&M's® backstage. Adding to this myth, in 1996 Masterfoods released a commercial asking, "Is it true what they say about green ones?"
There is no empirical evidence as to whether or not these fabled candies have magical powers, but we do know that they taste great and are part of Americana candy lore. Van Halen revealed that they made their especially specific request to make sure that their tour promoters were paying attention to detail. If they missed a trivai request about candy, they would most likely miss more important requests.
Each factory-sealed bulk bag includes 5 pounds of single-color M&M's®, and there are approximately 500 Green M&M's® per pound. These candies are exclusively manufactured by Masterfoods / M&M Mars.

Paid $5 for expedited processing. Paid $16 for 2 day shipping. Paid $25 for 2 pounds of m&m's. Ordered at 9am on Thursday, September 22, received on Wednesday, the 28th. How is that expedited processing? Considering I paid $46 for 2 pounds of m&m's, I expected better.

I Snaps by the POUND!!!
I saw I could order Snaps after a lifetime drought. I order 6#,s, and ate em all. I saw a problem forming so I ordered 9# of Snaps in 12 oz packs. Still . I wanted sealed Snaps for the long haul. So I ordered another 6# bag … and ate it. The pandemic hits and I salivate over my sealed 12 oz bags. Then I ate em. A year later I found Snpas online. The were not cheap. I bought 4 12 oz bags. Opened the last one yesterday.

Perfect amount!!
With decent weather on Halloween, wanted to make sure I had plenty of candy to give away. Delivery was on time and kept me out of the stores buying old candy that had been on the shelves since Labor Day.
I loved these small jellybeans. The did not seem to have carnauba wax. The shells were perfect, not too hard, and not waxy shiny. Colors and flavors were fantastic and made beautiful Easter gifts in cello bags. We're ordering more to serve with appetizers when having dinner parties, a playful statement we think will be well received.
What’s the reason for them, discontinuing the malted milk, balls, and chocolate stars
Why would Brach’s discontinue the malted milk balls and the chocolate stars?
This is a question that no one can answer! In the past few years, Brachs has discontinued almost every product, including the many true classics! At one point, we were this brand's first and largest online distributor. Now, we are lucky to offer any of their items! As to why remains one of the candy world's great mysteries!
I UMPIRE OVER 200 GAMES A YEAR AND I ALWAYS START THE GAME WITH A DADS ROOT BEER BARREL. MY FELLOW UMPIRE ALL WANT ONE WHEN THEY SEE ME . GREAT ROOT BEER FLAVOR THAT REMINDS YOU OF CHILDHOOD.
Thanks for sharing your review and for telling us about a fun baseball tradition! Half of what we try to do - maybe more - is to provide candies that connect people with their childhood! It's what retro candy is all about!
