Star Wars Dark Chocolate M&M’s – available again November 1st, 2005
Back in June, I wrote the makers of M&M’s to see where I could find more Dark Chocolate M&M’s.
Here’s their response, excluding the info on where to find them in Baton Rouge (They’re mine, you hear, ALL MINE!):
Masterfoods USA is excited about our promotional partnership with
Lucasfilm and STAR WARS as the exclusive confectionery snack sponsor of
the sixth and final movie; Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.The promotion is dubbed, “The Star Wars M-Pire”, and for the first time,
M&M’S CHOCOLATE CANDIES were made available in dark chocolate beginning in
April 2005.M&M’S DARK CHOCOLATE CANDIES have been shipped to warehouses nationally.
They are only available for a limited time and are selling very quickly.
The stores in your area that are listed below have recently reported that
they carry this product. However, MASTERFOODS USA does not guarantee that
it will be in stock at any given time.
…
This product will again be produced in limited quantities for a limited
time when the movie is released on DVD this fall.
You do not want Stars Wars Dark Chocolate M&M’s.
[I give a subtle Jedi wave to affect your mind]
You will set the Dark Chocolate M&M’s down.
[I give another Jedi wave]
You will leave them for me —
BWAAA-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAHHHH!
Well, if you really must know — Target has them. In fact, the Target I visited had them 1/2 price in the Halloween candy section — big oops!
