I enjoyed that series of hideous M&M commercials where humans would try to eat those cute little M&M's. I want to use the word cannibalism, but that's not right because the humans aren't eating other humans, even though the M&M's seemed human. It was so outrageous that I loved it. I know that the ads are kind of old. I'm not sure they're even showing them anymore, but who cares? I loved it. I remember wondering what I would do if faced with a chocolate urge while being around an oversized, walking M&M with a good personality. I said to myself, "Self," I says, "What if it was your friend (or lover) and you cared for it, even LOVED it?"

And then I wondered, "Would I make it the point that we even had such a deep, complex relationship, or would I eat it before we got that far?" The question was answered when I bought a bag of peanut butter M&M's and imagined that they were alive. Would I spare them? Little PEOPLE, as human as I, that are probably friends with each other, related to each other, family members. A little community in a bag, innocently living out their lives? Separate, distinct personalities with goals and dreams, assets as well as faults, who cry and laugh and try their hardest? It was the best bag of M&M's that I've ever eaten.
