Yes, I Think

I was curious. I wanted a Mega M & M.

The commercial showed an M & M large enough to cause a concussion if dropped on a person's head. Wow, that's my kind of candy.

I go to my local store, and buy a package, knowing immediately something isn't right: The bag is smaller than the life-threatening candy-coated chocolates on TV. When I get home and open the package, I discover words cannot begin to express my disappointment.

Mega M & M's are not "mega". Not even a midget would think anything about the candy was extra large, or even large. A hamster would have trouble tripping over the thing. Okay, so they're bigger than regular M & M's and maybe even Peanut M & M's (though I doubt it). But they're definitely not Mega.

But damn they're good.
