Personalized M&M's
Published December 18, 2004
It finally come to this: you can order bags of M&M's, deemed by many designers "the world's most perfect candy," with your very own custom-printed message on them.
Your message must fit on two lines, using eight or fewer characters per line.
Deadline for New Year's Eve messages is December 20.
A half-pound bag costs $9.49, with a four bag minimum order (that's $37.96 if you misplaced your calculator).
The most popular message choices so far?
"I love you Grandpa" and "Will you marry me?"
One note of caution: They won't print anything with "inappropriate language."
You could put your phone number on them, and have a perfect one-time pad equivalent.
Even if they didn't call, they'd think you were really sweet.

This innovation would make for a unique play on an old story idea:
Boy meets girl, girl gives boy phone number (on M&M), boy accidentally eats number/number is crushed during bus ride next to enormous and foul smelling stranger, boy must find girl or die trying.
