Today I went to the M and M store in Times Square in NY and let me tell you something: tourists love themselves some M and Ms. There were so many Midwest moms with their overweight children walking around that store just enhancing their diabetes to an extreme. There are tubes that LITERALLY go up about 11 feet into the air filled with different M and Ms. "Mama! These are orange!!! And they have peanuts in them!!" or "Hey Ma! These M and Ms are called God Bless America cuz they be red, white and blue!!" (and the word 'white' is pronounced with that H sound in it...) or "Sweetie, mommy can't buy 3 pounds worth of M and Ms because it costs $13 dollars an ounce!" these were only some of the myriad of sentences SCREAMED throughout the store today.
The best part though, was seeing this 2 year old kid in his stroller with a HUGE bag of mini M and Ms with the biggest smile I've ever seen on a face of a child, ever. These are the two thoughts I had:
1. Mini M and Ms are definitely a choking hazard for a 2 year old. Good luck with that.
2. That bag has a good 3 pounds of chocolate in it. Your child will not sleep until next month. Good luck with that.
It was good visual of what America is. That's a picture of the bag I bought. It's about half the size of when I got it...
