    I heard there are even some candies where the W was printed upside down! When people goof like that, not just once, but twice! Surely there should  be consequences.

    My son was born in 1989. No wonder he is so maladjusted, and here I thought he just took after him Mamma. ;+

    A scientific study has proven the eating Ws can cause brain damage, but increase the sense of humour.

    Once a week I am Canadian, therefore it is not spelt wrong. How aboot this:

    ∀ sɔᴉǝuʇᴉɟᴉɔ sʇnpʎ ɥɐs dɹoʌǝu ʇɥɐʇ ǝɐʇᴉuƃ Ms ɔɐu ɔɐnsǝ qɹɐᴉu pɐɯɐƃǝ ' qnʇ ᴉuɔɹǝɐsǝ ʇɥǝ sǝusǝ oɟ ɥnɯonɹ. Kinda looks like Russian. This post was edited by Element 99 at October 16, 2017 11:01 AM MDT

    He did not spell "humor" wrong, he spelled it British. British English have a lot of '-our' ending where US English juat write '-or'. The 2 nations have agreed that both spellings are equally correct.

    I didn't know that. But that brings up another question. What DOES the initials M&M stand for?

    It is from the names of the 2 people who got the idea for them.

    "Today I found out what the M's stand for in “M&Ms”. In 1941, Forrest Mars Sr., of the Mars candy company, struck a deal with Bruce Murrie, son of famed Hershey president William Murrie, to develop a hard shelled candy with chocolate at the center.May 18, 2010
