Customize Your Own M&Ms
By Alice Hill
RealTechNews
I would file this under the heading, “what took them so long?” After all, the technology age is all about customization, and if you can have custom jeans made, and shoes, or even pens with little messages, then why not a personalized M&M candy?
Today is your lucky day. Simply go online, add a brief message, choose your colors, and you can have your own bag of personal M&Ms mailed to you in 10 business days. I chose RealTechNews orange and added in the letters RTN (RealtechNews is too much text) and for $37.96 (plus shipping and handling) I get four 8 oz. bags. We say: Sounds pricey, but you can bet this will be a hit with marketers looking for something original. Guess it pays to have a short URL or company name, like AOL, MSN and Skype, doesn’t it?!

We used this for my daughter’s wedding - Meredith and Mike (M & M) in silver and blue to match the wedding colors. It IS pricy but for special occasions it’s a great idea.

But if they are both Ms - didn’t the non-custom version cover you?

Just a bit too ostentatious and YUPPIE for me. I suppose it goes with the “Flaunt it if you got it” mentality.
