June 24 marks opening day for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Mars is once again tugging at my heartstrings with limited edition movie tie-in M&Ms. There's the traditional chocolate (Chocl-o-bots) and peanut (Delect-o-cons) flavors, bearing wrapper images of Bumblebee and Starscream kickin' it with the dopey yellow M&M. While plain and peanut are nothing to have to change your undergarments over, you might want to do so for the new flavor, Strawberry Peanut Butter.



I don't know if the rest of you belt out the Hallelujah Chorus when M&M comes out with crazy schemes like this, but it's become the norm for me. Even odder considering my "norm" is usually to drink heavily and sing to the moon. I'm a little saddened that the candies aren't stamped with Autobot and Decepticon logos because speckling a couple of candies doesn't even come close. Even the Pirates candies had specialized stamps.

For the lord God omnipotent reigneth......

The flavor, however, tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made into a candy. The chocolate has a hint of strawberry flavor to it with the traditional peanut butter center and candy shell. They're also fun to pinch until they explode. Somehow peanut butter M&Ms are exceptionally enticing to pop, like Capri Sun pouches.

There's 5 limited edition wrappers in all and I've only accounted for 3. There's also a yellow-dyed Transformer's Snicker's available, so I'm thinking maybe the 5th wrapper is a M&M minis tube. The hunt will continue.
