Hello Mr. Blue Face  |
| |
| I was watching an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (Which isn't uncommon as I watch it practically every day) and it was the episode where Carlton was all depressed before his interview for Princeton. So he runs away to a little casino like place and some guy is singing the blues. Well it's not that kind of blue that has the blue face. Carlton was talking about the world and it's disappointments and how there were Blue M&M's and I was like "OMG I FORGOT!" I'm so used to the blue M&M's being in M&M's that I completely forgot the world VOTED that color in back in 1995. Do you remember M&M's before they were blue? Do you remember life before M&M's? (est. 1941) Did you vote for Blue M&M's or another color? Do you remember the vote at all? Do you ever get so used to something that you forget that it wasn't there a few years back? I mean, besides the obvious of things like the internet or television or cell phones. More like... Life before Blue M&M's? Do you? | | | | | |

| | Ha ha. Fresh prince of Bel-Air is one of the best shows. It's always on in the morning when I'm getting ready for work so I watch at least two episodes a day monday-friday. It's also one of those shows that no matter how many times I see the same episodes, I still love it! Aww. You can still get tv's that small amazingly! I remember M&M's before there were blue ones, but until I heard Carlton say that I completely forgot that there was a time before Blue M&M's you know. It was just one of those things I forgot about. The green M&M Is fairly new too and I remember when she was introduced to the world. it's just so funny how you get used to things and forget that it wasn't there before. | | | |

| | Hello raychill I do remember life before blue M&M's, but I can't believe it's been nearly 18 years since that auspicious occasion. Wow. I didn't cast a vote for any color. I was content with the red ones and, of course, the green ones. I can remember what it was like to have only a black and white television, with no remote control and only three channels, including PBS! | | | | | | |

| | Oh you're an old fart aren't you! Poor old bear. Do you remember what it was like to not have the charmin toilet rolls to use behind those trees? (please understand that reference ha ha) 18 years? 12 you mean? or was that a funny I didn't get? I'm failing here! So you remember when Lucille ball had red hair that was really a lovely shade of gray!? Those had to be some very tragic days. | | | |

| | Ah yes, bear years. I have heard of them vaguely. Tragedies are a sad part of our lives, one might call them... the tragedies or our life! | | | |

| | There haven't always been blue M&Ms??? Why do I not remember this vote? Life before blue M&Ms...nope, I have no recollection. Of course, if you asked me what I had for lunch on Friday, I probably would not remember that either. | | | | | | |

| | I'm glad I wasn't the only one! It was in 1995 (I actually did research prior to writing this discussion, how sad is that) and there was a vote because they wanted to add a new M&M color and blue won. I'd forgotten all about this until Carlton brought it up. That's what's good about watching syndicated tv...you learn history lessons! I don't think I had lunch on friday? remember... I forget to eat :p | | | |

| | To totally remember the vote and life before the blue M&M's!! I can't remember if I actually voted or not but I know I wanted purple to win - because well that's my favorite color LOL. I'm glad though that blue won if purple didn't. And I'm glad they decided to add another color to the population of M&M's. A more colorful world the better in my opinion! It is really hard to sometimes to remember back when things like that have changed. I can't think of anything small at the moment (proves your point LOL) but I know they've got to be loads of other things. | | | | | | |

| | Do you!? I vaguely remember it but I completely forgot that they didn't exist until Carlton said something! ha ha. I probably didn't vote back then either cause I don't eat M&M's like crazy or anything. I couldn't see purple in the bags. I am glad they've expanded their color worlds and size worlds and type worlds! ha ha. I like peanut and peanutbutter. but they've got plain and mini's and do they still have the crunch ones? M&M's are everywhere. It's true. I always wonder why Bart Simpson doesn't promote butterfingers anymore. I bet there are people these days who don't remember that he did! Oh here's one. Pizza Hut didn't start delivering pizza until the late 80's. do you remember life before pizza hut delivered!? Ohhhh ahhhh. ha ha. | | | |

| | I didn't know that about Pizza Hut. But my parents rarely ordered pizza and my mom prefers Dominoes the best. Me I'm a Papa Johns girl all the way! I don't like most of the new M&M's. I'm much more on the classic end with the plain and the peanut on occasion. The peanut butter ones are too bad but just too big. I don't like the mega ones at all. And I think the minis chocolate tastes different than the regular sized ones. Not sure if the crunch are still around - but I don't favor crunch things too much. That is a good question - why DON'T you see Bart advertising Butterfingers anymore! I'm almost positive he's who got me hooked on them! | | | |

| | I learned about the Pizza Hut thing on tv once. I also do this "did you know" multiple choice question for the library electronic sign every week so I learn a lot of stupid random facts! Most of which I can't use ha ha. And I hate Papa Johns! Their sauce makes me sick. Pizza Hut is my fave but I'll do Dominoes once in a while too. Yeah, I don't like plain M&M's cause I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so I can only eat chocolate if it has other stuff in it. So Peanut will always be my favorite. The mini's definitely aren't good and neither were the crunch. You can't alter a classic you know? Butterfingers are one of my favorite candy bars, so it always makes me sad that people are allowed to lay their finger on Barts Butterfinger! | | | |

| | Hi raychill, I was quite a bit younger when the whole blue M&M thing came about! But I do remember life when records went to cd's, the Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, and Rainbow Bright went into retirement, and I remember cell phones, dvd's, computers, internet, etc. Good discussion, thanks for reminding me how old I've gotten ;) PurpleTeddyBear. | | | | | | |

| | Well the blue M&M thing was about 12 years ago. So if you can remember life with all those other things you have to remember life before Blue M&M's! We all get old eventually, sadly. THough I really don't ever want to get old. | | | |

| | I remember the M&M voting hoopla. I didn't vote for a color, but I wanted purple or that turquoise color to win. Do you remember how much commontion there was over the M&M voting? I remember people in my area were taking the voting thing very serious, like it was a presidential election or something. Ha ha. You could walk in a grocery store or a restaurant, and no lie, you would hear tons of conversations about what color to vote for. I remember life before the blue M&Ms. My life is now a little brighter.:P | | | | | | |

| | Ha ha. How weird would it be to have a purple M&M now after all these years of blue! I can't believe I don't remember the blue M&M thing! I mean, I vaguely remember it, but not really. I feel so deprived! OH where is our time machine! | | | |

| | i remember them taking away the red m&m's for awhile..does that count? ;) um..probably microwaves.they were such a magical thing when we first got one.i use it every day now just to do simple things like reheating coffee.it's so much more conveniant than putting things back in a pot and heating it on the stove. | | | | | | |
