When I was small and occasionally even now, I find it very satisfying to smush milk chocolate M&M’s between my thumb and index finger before eating them. I deliberately let the chocolate warm up a just a tad bit by say for example, leaving an unopened bag in my pocket for a minute or two… There’s just something about the compression and rupturing of the candy shell that is satisfying in much the same way people find it satisfying to pop bubble wrap…

The chocolate may melt relatively quickly when it’s hot out but at least the candy shell prevents it from getting messy to a degree, which I think is more the point

[@Craxin01]

English, believe it or not, has changed in the last 80 years. The original slogan was referring to the chocolate melting onto your hand, meaning the chocolate isn't getting onto your fingers. Be that as it may, once you bite through the shell, the chocolate is most definitely melting in your mouth,

[@GuiSmith]

I mean, “It melts in the shell, not on your hand” works by its own context. I dunno why that isn’t used. It’s accurate, descriptive, equally simple.

[@Ruiluth]

It doesn't suggest that you eat it though, and doesn't get you thinking about chocolate melting in your mouth.

[@Astronomicalfacts]

I agree with that. All chocolate melts.

[@EskoBomb]

It's comparing itself to the alternative options like chocolate bars, which melt in your hand

[@EskoBomb]

That being said yes it melts in the shell just like he proved and just like you're saying here that's a good phrase but it doesn't compare it to say a chocolate bar which does melt directly onto your hand I think we all kind of understand this and this episode is kind of a splitting hairs episode and that's cool because that's why we okay I'm going to go take a shower now and just enjoy the episode and kind of zone out

[@AustinD_YT]

The Shell lets you snack, without the mess! is even better because its truthful, simple, and fulfills the role of comparing it to other things like Chocolate bars and addressing the actual issue of them melting in your hand. Instead of having a chocolate bar with the mess, have a M&M with the shell.

You should see if the chocolate in M&M’s hardens back up. And that might be the point of military shipment. It melts but stays in cased in the sugar shell to later be hardened after shipment. As if nothing happened in the bag, unlike their chocolate bar counterparts.

[@xxkai__gamesxx9572]

I will always wonder how Mat comes up with this stuff, It's always so fun to watch him lol

[@andrerosario2531]

The slogan should be "melts in your mouth not ON your hand." So while the physical process of melting happens inside the shell whilst the m&m is IN your hand, the milk chocolate theoretically doesn't make it outside if the shell ON your hand. It's the semantics and prepositionality of it all for me 😂

sweaty, melted M&Ms are for everyone. Also..M&Ms disolve quite a bit on ice cream. Those colorful streams on a vanilla cone are part of the fun.

[@evanmontague9456]

Also when you hold the m&m’s (for like four minutes) while it melts on the inside it is still solid and yes, when you crush it, it’ll ooze but it’s advertised as candy and put that thing in ur mouth and it’ll ooze in your mouth. Not to mention that when popping the m&m’s in your mouth (like a normal person)it isn’t melted by your hand even slightly because of the shell and because you break the shell with your teeth it’ll melt in your mouth. The problem with how matpat “proved” m&m’s melt in your hand is that he went out of his way to make the m&m’s melt my holding it for a long time. It’s like if someone said “HEY GUYS IMMA PROVE THAT ROCKS ARE FLAMMABLE” and then took a rock, poured lighter fluid on it and lit it on fire.

@@johnnyslokes2712 Exactly, it isn't melting in your hand, but once you bite through that shell and the chocolate is exposed, it certainly melts in your mouth. I think he's reading the slogan more like if a person were found crushed inside a car after the car had been crushed in a car crusher, we wouldn't blame the car, we'd blame the car crusher. So, since your hand is making the chocolate melt through radiant heat, he's technically correct. But, since the chocolate isn't melting onto your hand, the slogan still reads true.

This was one of my favorite ways to eat M&M as a kid. Stick the package in a warm spot (the sun, a car or a back pocket) and then you got a perfect treat: a crunchy outside with a warm melty center.

[@connormurphy6393]

I work at a grocery store stocking shelves overnight. We get BIG loads of candy during holiday seasons and they come in early so we have to put our pallets of candy up top on our metal sky shelves. But we can't do that with candy anymore because the lights up there (even 6ft away) heat up the candy so much it melts. INCLUDING M&M's lol, pulled the pallet down to check on the candy and picked up a bag of liquid M&M's 😅

I was going to call you out based off what I saw Rhett and Link do on GMM, but you changed it up with the specific words in the slogan. Good one!

Matpat, I think you should reach out to Linda Bartoshuk. She’s one of the most phenomenal taste scientists out there, and she might be able to greatly benefit you when it comes to the science in your videos, especially behind taste. She works in the phycology of taste, and was a professor at Yale for a number of years. Currently she works at the University of Florida, and she would probably love to help you with a theory. She has some really good evidence on some really cool taste stuff, that’s super interesting. Since some philosophers greatly messed up the ideas around taste, and she has some super out there theories (she’s currently writing a book about it). I would love to see this, and I’m sure most of your viewers would too, so just consider it.

[@DragonHeart53]

To be totally fair, this is generally taking the slogan a bit too literally. The candies accomplish their task of not melting "in" your hand by simply not covering your hand in chocolate while you're trying to eat them. it doesn't mater that the chocolate is already melted inside the shell, it's meant to keep that chocolate from melting "onto" anything other than the inside of your mouth. which is referring to the phrase of "melting onto" something. regardless of if the chocolate is already molten by the time it gets to your mouth, the only place the chocolate is actually being released from it's candy shell, is in your mouth. that's why it was successful as a candy for sending to troops, because open bars of chocolate became a nightmarish mess to handle, but the M&Ms were still solid pieces of candy. even if they were just a little softer than usual.

[@atirkahn]

I totally agree, in my eyes the slogan still definitely stands up, since at no point does the chocolate get to your hands and coats them, it coats your mouth and taste buds - which is exactly what the slogan is trying to accomplish 🤷🏻‍♂️ So in my opinion this theory doesn’t really hold any water… (unlike the shells holding in the chocolate! Ayyyyy 😂)

[@JordanRunge14]

Exactly. Who cares if the inside is melted as long as the outside is intact and allows you to eat them without the chocolate getting everywhere

[@starplatinum2414]

THANK YOU!!!! This is exactly what was irking me off about this theory. Because sure from an unnecessarily over analytical and scientific standpoint, the M&M slogan is wrong about the chocolate melting in your mouth and not your hand. But from a common sense standpoint the slogan is fine because no one, literally absolutely no one in their right fucking mind is going to intentionally hold a bunch of m&m in their hand for upwards of four minutes.

Looking at this again, I'm wondering if it's theoretically possible to hold M&Ms in your hand long enough to fully dissolve the shell. At that point, the chocolate should have long melted as well.

You've actually convinced me that the slogan isn't as false as I thought it was. I've always just thought of the reaction that leaves the coloring on your hand as being a result of melting, but, as you've shown here, that was wrong. Focusing on the milk chocolate, though, the slogan rings absolutely true. The chocolate isn't melting in your hand because the chocolate isn't IN your hand. It is in the candy coating. You held it for 4 minutes and that coating wasn't even close to dissolving enough to let the chocolate melt into your hand. In your mouth, however, the candy coating will dissolve fast enough that the chocolate will indeed melt in your actual mouth. Conclusion: Mars nailed that slogan.

While the slogan is false, it's actually a pretty ingenious way to keep the chocolate intact for the military. The problem with it melting was that it would lose its structural integrity, but M&Ms' sugar coating keeps the shape even when the chocolate is completely melted.
