US vs UK M&M’s | Food Wars

[@ngairetaylor6373]

There is a story a few years ago about bees in Germany starting to produce honey that was bright green. This worried people for awhile until it was discovered that the bees were being very clever and lazy and had discovered the M&M factory in Germany which had thrown out containers worth of M&Ms into a skip. The shells being almost pure sugar with dye that the bees had decided was easier to “harvest” than flowers. The bees produced honey in a range of bright colours and even black (a mix of blue, green & red?) The honey was very edible… Just a very startling colour.

[@niklas2933]

Of course German Bees would engineer something new very typical German

[@bobyouness]

[@Sarah-qd9bq]

I agree, I had never heard of the custom M&M's so I went to their website only to find that although they ship to a host of European countries which all have their own website, Canada does not have their own website and we cannot customise M&M's since they say that they do not ship to Canada. That is too bad too, I saw their products on America's site and I can picture some being great little add-on gifts to fill a gift bag.

[@talsingh451]

Do you get lionbar in canada? I saw am episode of family guy recently and I think they don't get llionbar in the US. Its quite tasty and definetely a top 10 here in the UK

Iirc the “share” size is just the king size re-packaged. A few years ago Mars said they were discontinuing king sizes of all their products to “help fight the obesity epidemic.” The share size showed up after this.

Whoever edits these videos definitely deserves a raise. The funny add ons are what make them so much more entertaining. Also crispy M&M slap so hard, my personal favorite flavor.

Gotta agree with Harry about UK M&Ms world; it's huge but it's pretty much all chocolate m&ms. No other flavours and it's pretty dull to look around. At least the Lego store has some interesting displays.

I live in Pakistan. I was so curious about the hype behind pretzel M&Ms that I asked my friend living in the USA to sned a bag here with his travelling father. I was thoroughly disappointed; they taste like a hollower / emptier version of a peanut M&M. He did also send the limited edition English Toffee Peanut flavor; it was infinitely better than the former. It tasted like the praline part of a praline ice-cream and smelled like the chocolate equivalent of potpourri.
