There is one thing I look forward to more than any other at Christmas time.<\/p>\n

More than presents.<\/p>\n

More than cards.<\/p>\n

More than snow, tinsel, and the tree<\/p>\n

I look forward to Mint M&Ms.<\/p>\n

I love<\/b> Mint M&Ms. I wish they were sold year round, so much do I love them.<\/p>\n

They’re like ordinary M&Ms. But they’re minty fresh.<\/p>\n

And they are awesome.<\/p>\n

I bring this up, because I was at the store yesterday, and what did I see but a whole display of M&Ms. With the Indiana Jones logo emblazoned upon them.<\/p>\n

Naturally, I was curious. Twenty years ago, when The Last Crusade<\/i> came out, I couldn’t remember Indiana Jones being merchandised<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Twenty years. Fuck. I feel old.<\/p>\n

I digress.<\/p>\n

So, this display of Indiana Jones M&Ms.<\/p>\n

One of the bags was green. Green? I looked closer. “Mint Crisp,” it said.<\/p>\n

Mint!<\/p>\n

Mint!<\/p>\n

I was excited by this turn of events.<\/p>\n

I eagerly bought the Mint Crisp M&Ms, and went on my way.<\/p>\n

I did not like the Mint Crisp M&Ms.<\/p>\n

They weren’t sufficiently minty.<\/p>\n

The crispiness detracted from the mintyness.<\/p>\n

They mocked me, the Mint Crisp M&Ms.<\/p>\n

These are one discovery that Indiana Jones should have left alone.<\/p>\n

Christmas cannot come soon enough, so that the real Mint M&Ms can take their rightful place on store shelves everywhere.<\/p>\n
