Custom Printed M&M’s
Aug 20th, 2006 by Alex
Flipping through some circulars, I found a cool novelty for candy addicts. For about $23 per pound, you can have custom printed M&Ms made to your specifications direct from the factory. That’s right, you get to pick what one side of the M&Ms will say… all from the comfort of your couch.
The ordering process is all online. No micromanagement here, your options are relatively limited.
Color
There are 17 colors to choose from, many of which aren’t in the typical bags (though perhaps in the seasonal bags). Unfortunately, you can only have up to two colors per order.
Text
You’ll have to be brief; there’s a two-line maximum, up to 8 characters per line. Each order can two distinct messages.
An 8 ounce bag costs $11.25. The minimal order is four bags, costing $45 before shipping. Festive packaging in the forms of tins and bags are also available for an additional charge. As an added bonus until the end of September, you can get an extra bag for free with promo code MYMM43… making your order only $18/pound. Snazzy.
A bit on the pricey side for chocolate, but a cool concept.
