Bragging on my baby cousin - M&Ms

#1 Post by mellytu74 » Tue Sep 02, 2008 7:53 am

My cousin's daughter is a graphic designer a couple years out of Moore College of Art.

She's had a mixed media exhibit at the school but I think her real love is advertising/marketing/promotions.

When you see the special Halloween package of M&Ms -- I believe it says the "cool ghoul" colors -- with Ms. Green M&M as the Bride of Frankenstein, think of her.

She designed it.

I am trying to paste a picture, but it's not working.

She does a lot of catalog work that you have probably seen -- I know I have but maybe that's just my choice of catalogs -- but I think this is her first national campaign.

She's a good kid and I am very happy for her success.

We already have our Halloween candy in and on the shelf (Big surprise, right!), so I'll check it out tonight....

That's pretty cool!

Sounds like that'll be a perfect snack at a certain Flying Monkey's viewing party, should TPTB get around to sending The Call his way...

Are the graphics for the website hers as well? Very cool!

www.mms.com, and go to the What's New section for the Halloween games.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

you know here's a link I really like

http://www.halloweenmillion.com/
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I can't click on the link. I am thinking I can't do it from work.

I'll check when I get home.

It's really great -- although it's not like our household needs any more excuses to buy M&Ms.

:D

This is cool. Even better, I just won a 14-oz. bag of M&Ms with my free on-line UPC code.

The link seems to include the comma I put in, which will screw things up. Try this one without it.

Uday pigging out is like BDM being wordy.

It just boggles the mind.

I'm carbo-loading, so I can beat BDM in arm-rasslin'.

I so hope he doesn't come down with a cold that day.

Am I the only one who separates the M&Ms by color and eats them in a particular order?

Probably not, but I would think the others are strange, too.

Of course not!

You have to put them in groups and then even out the numbers by eating the ones that have too many until there is an equal number of all the colors.

My personal weirdness about M&Ms is that I don't like to eat two of the same color in a row -- even though they all taste exactly the same!

It's only weird if you start with the green ones.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Generally I start by reducing the numbers so that they're equal (there always seems to be a few more of the brown or orange ones than the others), then, depending upon my mood I either eat one of each color or I eat the blue, orange and brown ones, leaving the red, yellow and green, which I eat in 3s like a stoplight.

Good idea not to click on the link from work. It's LOUD!

You eat them one at a time?

Now that's strange. :)
