Greetings Wanderers!
Have you heard the news? M&M's has announced that they are indefinitely suspending our beloved M&M's spokes candies, and are replacing them with the lovable "Chief of Fun" Maya Rudolph. While most fans hope that this is just for the 2023 Super Bowl, only time will tell. But before we talk about the current news we must learn about the past, and just how our beloved Spokes Candies came to be! So please, grab your favorite candy coated chocolate drops, your candy loving friend and join us as we dive in!!!
