A Bone to Pick with Mars


M&M's used to be one of Linda's 5 favorite foods. Frozen yogurt with M&M's on top was the lunch-de-jour for years. She would eat peanut butter and M&M sandwiches. When the creamy peanut butter M&M's came out, she was ecstatic. Then came dark chocolate, Yum! The Caramel ones were to die for. There used to be crispy M&M's, but I don't think they sell those anymore. She would have loved to have this wedding cake. About 5 years ago she stopped eating them cold-turkey. Now that she is a vegan, she does not eat any dairy products at all. I bet this Atlanta woman won't be eating M & M's anymore. She bit into a blue peanut M & M and found a bone... a vertebra from a small mammal. The women is filing a lawsuit against Mars, the company that owns M&M. I don't think she should sue if she did not break a tooth or swallow it. Once, Linda found a big twig inside her Pop-Tart. She wrote the company and got a coupon for a free box of Tart's. p.s. If anyone knows where she can get a vegan "M&M" let me know. I would love to surprise her.
