WTFork Happened to Peanut M&M’s?

I thought I remembered Peanut M&M’s being sized just like these Forking Candies pictured above but these are not them.

We were sharing a Bag of Peanut M&M’s at the Movies and they  Forking Seemed different. They seemed to have hardly any Forking Peanut in them and seemed much Forking Smaller.  They seemed very different in my mouth.

This really bothered me and I had to go out and buy a bag to measure after I saw a bag of Mega Peanut M&M’s at Walmart.

I’m not good with a Forking Ruler but these are really tiny! I think some of the Forking Candies are smaller than Plain Chocolate M&M’s.

I was at Walmart and noticed Mega Peanut M&M’s saying they had more chocolate and bigger Peanuts in them.

I tried them and I Forking think these are what we all know and loved from before. These seem like my old Peanut M&M’s I remember.  I don’t know for a Forking Fact but I believe that today’s regular Peanut M&M’s are now down-sized.

I don’t know maybe they had to do this? Smaller peanuts and less chocolate must cost less.

When I was a kid we ate peanut butter  and Jelly Sandwiches but these days many kids are allergic to peanuts so these sandwiches are not permitted in schools. I also remember not too many years back super markets used to have bins of peanuts in the produce department. These days you only see peanuts come pre-wrapped in bags.

Maybe not enough Forking People eat Peanut M&M’s these days?

Forking Nutz!

    these peanut m&m are way smaller and tasteless now..in fact bad taste with awful aftertaste. they are shadow in year 2023 compared to what they used to be in year 1985….the formula has changed drastically for the worse.
    they are bioengineered…..both the peanuts and chocolate taste 100% weird and artificial…the good blending of salty peanut with real chocolate is gone. another treat from our past that has degraded to inedible…same as breyer ice cream, same as doritos, same as original pepsi…etc. etc. etc.

    Have you bought the peanut butter m&m’s lately? They have changed as well. They are smaller and have no chocolate just like Resses Pieces. They used to be half chocolate and half peanut butter. Disapointing!

    Wow, I thought this was all in my head! I happened to mention how the taste had changed and a friend said she noticed also. Peanut M&Ms were always my favorites but the aftertaste has stopped me from buying more. (Am wondering if having too much candy shell is affecting the taste.)

      They do taste different! They have a bad aftertaste. I bought this bag and couldn’t wait to try them after so many years of not having any. First taste and it was “wow” these are not the same M&Ma’s from my past. What the frig Mars?

    The m&m peanuts taste horrible. I can remember when you began eating them you could not stop they were so good. Now they have hardly any taste to them. Just to be sure I bought some twice in different states. Horrible. Won’t get my money a third time.

    You are 100% right!! I am sitting here eating the regular peanut m n ms and I just had to google if they were smaller because they just didn’t look at all right and I knew for a fact there was less chocolate. I am extremely disappointed by the fact they would do something like this across the board and then will increase the price in a few months also. The greed is beyond pathetic!!

    I payed good money for a large bag ,they are very differant. The peanut is hole but very small nearly a cull! The chocolate is coated so thinly that the candy shell makes the chocolate hardly notisable in taste! I’m very disapointed. I want the bag to note the changes for us without a clue intill our money has be wasted. WTFork!

    I knew I couldn’t be the only forking person to notice this! My husband thinks they’re using peanut pieces or scraps as the “regular ” size and the whole peanuts are being rebranded as mega. They ain’t fooled us!

    The mega peanut m’s are not even as big as the regular m’s used to be! Plus the bags are waaaay smaller so you are getiing way less than in the past. Depressing.

    I said to my husband the other night, what happened to peanut m&m’s, that they were the size of a skittle and that we had to eat more at a time, because they were so small. I want my big m&m’s back, and not the megas. Never ate the megas.
