Delicious... Most Delicious.

Last night after our show at the Improv, Stefan, Geoff, Jeff, Mary and I were walking through Times Square.

This turned out to be a huge mistake.

As we hit 46th Street, it was impossible not to notice that we were going to come in direct contact with the ginormous Toys R’ Us that resides there. And of course, inside of that Toys R’ Us is none other than the Star Wars Chocolate M-pire.

Well naturally, what else were we to do at 9:30pm on a Tuesday night, but go in and buy Star Wars themed M&Ms?

The main appeal of this, actually, was not just the Star Wars themed M&Ms, but the fact that sold ONLY at Star Wars Chocolate M-pire are limited edition dark chocolate M&Ms.

So anyway, there we were, all ready to buy our M&Ms, when it turns out that they don’t have plain dark chocolate M&Ms. The reason is this: the Peanut M&M decided to join the dark side, but the plain M&M didn’t.

Two things:

1) I don’t need plot development in my candy.
2) There’s still peanut flavored light side of the force M&Ms, which destroys any semblance of plot, anyway.

In any case, they’re delicious, but our story doesn’t end there! Because we were already in Toys R’ Us, Stefan and I broke down, and did something we haven’t done since the first Star Wars prequel came out. We bought action figures.

Specifically, Stefan bought a super-articulated Tusken Raider figure, and I bought Darth Tater.

Anyway, the dark chocolate M&Ms are delicious, that’s my point.

Quick theory. Dark chocolate can be overpowering at times, so perhaps M&M's considers their fans chocolate light-weights who can't handle so much freaking chocolate at once. Thus the mandatory peanut to cut the dark chocolate richness.

Unfortunately I have nothing to contribute to the plot debate. Except that the worker at Toys 'R' Us was a bit too well-versed in it.
