...'I Want Candy' can work for Valentines too...

4:03pm Ken From Haunted Hyde Park:

Good thing "I want candy" hasn't replaced "Trick or treat" yet. Sounds kind of pushy.

4:06pm Count Chocula:

m&m's were first produced in Newark, 1941 until 1958, brown, yellow, green, red and violet

4:11pm Ken From Haunted Hyde Park:

@Count Chocula - Interesting. Can you tell us when peanut M&Ms were introduced?

4:15pm Count Chocula:

"Peanut M&M's were introduced in 1954, but first appeared only in the color tan. They were debuted at the same time as the tagline "Melts in your mouth, not in your hand." In 1960, M&M's added the yellow, red, and green colors.

in 1976, orange was added to the M&M rainbow to replace red, which was discontinued due to the red dye scare over Red Dyes #2 and #4." I miss tan, replaced by blue.

Thank you Bill Kelly for sp-oooooooooky sounds.
"...the children of the night...what beautiful music they make..."

4:43pm Mailman Tom:

I asked Zacherley about it at a Chiller con many years ago, and he told me it was a lost film. I hope they really did find a copy, and it's not a hoax!

5:00pm flashbazbo:

Not to be critical but I never made the connection. Maybe using the word as a noun instead of adjective for the only time in history threw me
