So, today we have another promotional tie in with the new Indiana Jones flick. This time it's m&m's that have undergone a little flavor change in honor of the movie, and I'll admit I was apprehensive about trying these. After all, I've had the Razzberry and Cherry Cordial version of m&m's, and those were so bad that I shudder to even think about them.
Anyway, the packaging for these is simply lovely; there's a picture of some Mayan looking ruins and lots of leafy green plants. Like the Snickers Adventure bar, there is a picture of Harrison Ford looking all intense and scruffy. Unlike the Snickers bar, the green m&m mascot is also pictured, and she's giving Indy her best come-hither look. It's sort of creepy, actually... but let's not focus on that! They also have some "Arti-FACTs" on the back; mine say that Sean Connery was always the first choice to play Indy's dad and that when it was time to pick a new m&m color, blue was the winner.
The m&m's themselves come in three colors: white, dark green, and light green. They're also really lumpy and irregular looking, and they range wildly in size. The candies are imprinted with the usual "m," but they also have little designs printed on them. The designs I've seen have included skulls, temples, and some kind of freaky mask/face thing.
On to the flavor! Basically, this m&m consists of a crispy disk (think of a larger version of a rice krispie) coated with mint flavored chocolate. I didn't really notice the mint much at first- it was noticeable, but not overwhelming- but by the time I finished the bag I had a nice minty fresh mouth.
I am happy to say that I really enjoyed these m&m's. I would like to see a plain mint chocolate version, but I doubt that will happen. Oh, well... a girl can dream!
