M&M's Premiums

So, I'm perusing the fancy chocolate section at the grocery store and I see shiny a colored box with my favorite letter(s) on it, M&M's. I'm thinking, "why are the M&M's in the fancy section?" Well, they're not just M&M's, they're M&M's Premiums. Suhweet! Extra delicious M&M's. There's mint, almond...a bunch of flavors. So I pick up a box. Feels pretty light. Probably as much candy as you get in a normal bag in the check-out line. Then I check the price.

$4.50!

I love M&M's. But for nearly $5, those had better put me into a trance of chocolaty ecstasy. I couldn't bring myself to do it, and instead opted for the Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Hazelnut Toffee for about half the price. I wasn't disappointed.

I'll have to try the M&M's, but for that price it's not likely to be spur-of-the-moment.

By the way, happy 08/08/08.
