Razzberry M&Ms “Get razzed!” — Susan :P

I hadn’t even heard of this limited edition flavor but I guess it’s from early fall of 2007. I got the last bag in the box at the mini-mart up the street. At first, I couldn’t tell from the packaging if they were going to be raspberry flavored of if they were just going to be pink. But they were raspberry flavored! I liked them, but Kai thought they tasted like perfume.

What I don’t get, is that there doesn’t seem to be any particular promotion to warrant a limited edition M&M flavor. Like, they aren’t seasonal and they aren’t tied to a blockbuster movie in theaters about raspberries or anything. I thought that was weird that they would just put out raspberry flavored M&Ms for no special occassion. I guess they are thinking they can go the Kisses route… but I doubt enough people liked the raspberry ones (or heard about them) to encourage M&Ms to keep trying.

Personally, I _love_ limited edition candies. Except when I love them to much and then they go away. Just thinking about cherry ice cream flavored Mike & Ike’s brings a tear to my eye. Right now I’m all about the Elvis Reeses Cups. When those go away I’m going to go into a deep depression for at least a week. I was thrilled that Hershey’s brought back cordial cherry Kisses a second time.
