You have all made my day! Thank Google for helping me find you guys!! Just like many of you have stated, most think I’m crazy for missing the light brown M&M… They need to bring it back!!!

I can’t believe it. I just got a bag of peanut M&Ms and that got me thinking… what happened to the light brown ones? I tried searching on Google images, I at least wanted visual confirmation that they did in fact exist… not even Google can find them, that’s how gone they are. Oh sad day.

It warms my heart to see that some people had enough foresight and will to save a bit in a ketchup bottle. I read in another post somewhere that someone had 11 saved in a little vial. Can you PLEASE upload a picture of a light-brown M&M? The world cannot forget.

Wow, I really thought I was the only one who missed the light brown ones. All of my friends always thought I was crazy for saying they tasted better. Nice to know I am not the only one. I don’t like the blue ones either. They just aren’t the same without the light brown ones and I know it has been YEARS since they have been made. *sigh* It makes me feel old.

the tan ones were the best, agreed.
i always thought they tasted different too. even if they are the same, color surely affects the perception… oh, whatever! i KNOW they tasted different! :)

Luckily, i had the foresight to save them. I have a Heinz ketchup bottle full of tan M&Ms sitting in my parents’ house somewhere. I can’t be the only one!

Wow
I dont remember the tan ones..
Must’ve been before my time.
But I do agree that the blue ones are out of place.

I loved the tan ones too, and I agree they tasted different and better. My husband says that the blue color is like “Ford” blue and that it was an even older color that they brought back. i haven’t been able to verify that as of yet.

And here I thought I was the only one who missed light brown! Glad to see I’m not. :) I’d trade blue for light brown in a second, though I admit, I don’t remember it tasting different. :)

I never even noticed they changed the name to Milk Chocolate, I usually get peanut though, but I still refer to the original as Plain, and that will always be how it will be to me.

light brown used to be the only ones that tasted different. I have tried to tell people this, but everyone thinks I”m crazy. I’m glad someone remembers.
