Masterfoods USA officially introduced it's "Mega M&M's" candies today. The difference is that these are larger than the standard candies. The plain variety is 65% larger than standard, while the peanut variety is 45% larger.
The concept of huge M&Ms is not totally new. They had come out with the "Ogre-sized M&M's" in response to the Shrek 2 movie. Demand was enormous for the "bigger is better" chocolate confection, that Masterfoods decide to make a permanent thing with the "Mega M&M's".
M&M's launched a pretty cool website to promote their monster variety. It takes you into the M&M's laboratory, where you can watch "M&M experiments gone wrong", and get dossiers on M&M scientists. Fun.

My guess is that they're trying new, bigger version because the mini-M&Ms were a miserable flop.
When you get down to it, though, they're just chocolate, and not very good chocolate at that. There are only so many ways to sell the stuff, so they have to keep trying new stuff to keep the novelty factor high. But everyone else is doing it, too, so there's no real increase in business to be had.
¿mini-m&ms a flop? Balderdash!
Are you kidding? Minis are the best thing ever and sell like gangbusters.
mega m&ms are the same size that the "Shrek" m&ms were
meh, I preferred the dark chocolate M&Ms they sold as part of the Sith release.
How about Mega Dark M&Ms! Now that would be tres cool!
Yes!! Mega Dark M&M's would be awesome!!!
I've tried them, and I'm disappointed. Not with the taste, but the fact that the hard candy shell cracks in your hand before it even gets in your mouth!
The mega M&M's are great. I just can't find them in the store. So far I like almost all of the M&M's the company has come out with I prefer the peanut butter and peanut. Would love to be able to find these in the store on a regular basis. (I also prefer the bolder brighter colors....)
