Enough is enough! The bickering, hatefulness and division has to stop! It's about time we Americans had an honest discussion with each other about the disparate ratio of M&Ms to nuts/raisins in our nation's trail mix.
Let's keep the discussion cordial and friendly. All opinions on the matter will be respectfully heard.
What are your thoughts?
Ready, set, discuss!

I'm Switzerland - no opinion - I don't eat anything with the word 'trail' in it!

So I have one vote for M&Ms, one vote for nuts, and one tie vote. We're on a roll.

@LadyDuck I don't care for them mostly because they are milk chocolate and I don't care for it.

I love trail mix but it has to be gooder.
M and Ms I do not want in my trail mix.

So one vote for nuts/raisins. I'll have to remember, no M&Ms in your trail mix.

No such thing as too many M&Ms, but I can see the other side's argument of "just buy a bag of M&Ms instead of trail mix."

Finally...another vote for M&Ms! I thought nuts/raisins was going to run away with this debate!

. But I do love nuts and raisins in trail mix. I of course don't have any problem munching through M&Ms on their own.@bluesa (15023)

@moffittjc , when I am in a nutty mood, the peanut M&Ms hit the spot. I like regular M&Ms otherwise smarties on top of ice cream! I remember you mentioning you and your kiddos would go out for ice cream after watching a bit of t.v. . I am happy you did. :-)

@bluesa We like to go out for ice cream! Actually, most of the time we go to a local fro-yo place near our house.

Do you like regular M&Ms, or the peanut M&M's. I prefer the peanut M&Ms to the regular ones, although I do love both. In fact, I topped my ice cream with M&Ms this past weekend when I took the kids out for a treat!

Well I'm glad you like M&Ms! I like Smarties too, but not sure how good they would taste in trail mix.

I love trail mix especially nuts and M&Ms

To me, that is why trail mix is so good, because it has both nuts and M&Ms.

Not sure about nuts or M&Ms but raisins are good snack while having a good heated debate.

@moffittjc I hope they don't use raisins or nuts as a food fight tool.

@Letranknight2015 I will admit, I've thrown both raisins and peanuts at people before! Haha

Wow, our first raisin vote! I'm impressed! I'm a fan of raisins, but nuts/seeds are my thing, especially in trail mix.

I was munching on trail mix this afternoon while waiting for the solar eclipse (I know, Catherine told me I had the wrong day), and the idea for this discussion hit me. The things you think of when staring at the sun! haha

@DianneN Pray tell, what are the other ways you can go blind, besides staring at the sun?

I cant stand raisins so I'm opting for M&Ms. I do love nuts though. Can I just take the squidgy nasty raisins out?

You have my permission to take all the raisins out! And you can give them to me, I'll add them to my trail mix. Although I'd prefer M&Ms over raisins, I can eat the raisins if I have to.

If you get the peanut M&Ms, does that count for a healthy option? They have nuts in them! haha
