I agree with Ben Kunz who says Mars, the maker of M&Ms, is brilliant.
You see, they've decided to package Green M&Ms for Valentine's Day this year.
It's no secret that chocolate has its own aphrodisiac qualities. Now, top that chocolate with a green candy coating, and you've got the best of both worlds!
Ask chocolate lovers to define chocolate and they will describe it as 'the love drug,' 'the eighth wonder,' 'the food of the gods,' 'a wicked pleasure,' 'better than sex,' and 'the secret drug of happiness.' Source
Here's everything you want to know about Green M&M's and some reasons you might want to go green with your favorite candy this year.
Green is the new pink... right?

Green M&M's For Valentine's Day
They're saying that green is the new color of love.
Red is out. Pink is out. Green is all the rage this year... and that includes your favorite candies!
Here is the official press release from Mars Snackfood about their Green M&M's.
An interview with sweet & sassy Ms. Green, the only female M&M's spokescandy:
Ms. Green joined the M&M'S pack in 1997 as the first (and only) female spokescandy. She instantly captivated fans of the iconic candy with her luscious lips, slightly suggestive smile and white-hot go-go boots. Famous for her sometimes intimidating "I melt for no one" bravado, Ms. Green is turned on by simple candlelit dinners... in Paris, and isn't shy about promoting her beauty and special powers.
By the way, they say that Green M&Ms taste just the same as other colors of M&Ms.
The Secret 'Powers' Of M&Ms Colored Candies
Whether Green M&Ms have aphrodisiac qualities or not is largely debated -- for years it's been this way. ![]()
The rumor that these green candies are an aphrodisiac apparently started or first gained prominence in the 1970s, when students reportedly picked the green ones out of packages to feed to the objects of their desires. (At that time, an average of 10% of plain M&Ms and 20% of peanut M&Ms were green.) Why the Green M&Ms were attributed with this power is unknown -- perhaps it was because the color green has always been associated with healing and fertility. (The company itself routinely states that they cannot explain any extraordinary 'powers' attributed to Green M&Ms, either scientifically or medically.) Snopes
Did you know there is another 'secret power' that Green M&Ms are rumored to have? This one centers around baseball. Supposedly, if you eat a Brown M&M, you'll get a single. Eat a Yellow M&M and you'll get a double. Eat a Orange M&M and you'll get a triple. And eat a Green M&M and you'll get a HOMERUN!

I can taste the difference in blue ones too. I don't like them actually. Every time I have been eating M&Ms and noticed a weird taste in my mouth, when I check the color, sure enough, it is blue.
I miss the light brown ones, personally.
I was just reading about your Hitmen of Music row.Good stuff. That reminded me of a time I played beside Craig at Zanie's for an event put on by the Song Writer's Guild of America. Here's the chorus to one of mine. I tried to pitch it to the M&M people years and years ago. No interest. Maybe now?
"I've been savin' up green M&M's
In case you ever break down and you let me in
I'm gonna feed 'em to ya baby
If you ever say maybe,
Savin' up green M&M's"
even though "all m&m's taste the same", my twin sis can discern the taste of the blue ones. she does it 10 times out of 10. it's weird. Even weirder, is that she only possesses this ability with the blue ones, she cannot tell the difference in any of the other colors.
