Niobe kind of threw down a gauntlet in the comments, wondering if they'd reject:
nick's
censored
or
nick's
xxxxxxxx
or
nick's
(bleep)
So, I tested them out. To her great joy (chocolate!) and my vague feeling of thwartedness (rejection would have been fun to snark at), Niobe got a bag of M&Ms from me for her birthday (today!), complete with bleep.
Now, of course, I'm wondering whether the appearance last week of that new TV show - $#*! My Dad Says - meant that the M&Ms people had relaxed their stance on the "bad word" status of#!@?&*.
What do you think?
Thanks so, so much! And believe me, it wasn't easy to keep people from eating them for long enough to get a photo. And by "people" I mean mostly me.
ReplyDeleteyou guys crack me up.
ReplyDeleteand hey, what do I need to do to get chocolate?
I love it. Happy birthday, Niobe!
ReplyDeleteI envision a great M&M experiment with many of us seeing how far we can push these people.
ReplyDeleteBonus: M&Ms for all!
too fun.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday, niobe!
I love it! Great color combo. They look delicious. Enjoy, Niobe!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Happy birthday, Niobe!
ReplyDeletePushing the corporate envelope, two bloggers and one gorgeous photo at a time. Go, both of you (and happy birthday!)
ReplyDeleteHappy friggin' birthday
ReplyDeleteThey had no problem printing my WTF m&m's.
ReplyDeleteI'd show u a pic, but they are SO gone.
Also... thanks for the blog post inspiration today.
Awesome. Absolutely awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlso, happy belated birthday, Niobe!
I have to follow-up even though it's a few months later... I ordered some for my mom for Christmas. I asked that they print "Hi Grandma!" and "Eat me!" (because how clever/silly is that to write "Eat me!" on candy that someone IS going to eat -- and my mom LOVES M&Ms. Seriously LOVES.). Only that last one fell afoul of the family nature of their brand. Because someone thought I had other ideas. That thought had never entered my brain until I got their email. EW. The candy is for MY MOTHER.
