M&M's candy fades to black
and white
NEW YORK, Dec 29 (Reuters) -
M&M's, the colorful button-shaped candies, are about to go off color
for the first time in 60 years, but it remains to be seen whether their fans
love or hate the change.
The chocolate-filled
sugar-coated candies, made by a division of U.S. confectioner Mars Inc.,
will be available in only black and white for the next few months instead
of the standard six colors as part of a promotional campaign.
Mars' Masterfoods USA division, which also markets chocolate
brands such as Snickers, will launch the chiaroscuro version in the United States
on Dec. 31. But some stores that ran out of the colorful stock have already
received supplies of the new variety.
The candy is sold in more than
100 countries, but the black and white ones will be available only in the United States.
|
"Many tourists
from places like London are buying them
because it is not available in their country," said Yahya Tai, the
owner of a New York City
newspaper and candy stand who has started selling the new M&M's.
|
But the company plans
to bring back the colored candy to the market after the promotion runs its
course in a few months.
|
"You are going to have people who are shocked
and they are going to be miss their regular favorite colors," said
M&M's spokesman Jeffrey Moran. "As long as we can tell them the
colors are eventually going to come back, they will be pretty happy."
