I have been craving m&m's for weeks so I treated myself to a big packet....I haven't had them for a few years. I was utterly disappointed...they taste awful!! What's happened?? They didn't even look like m&m's!! Heartbroken 💔

I had them last week and thought they were disappointing but I somehow blamed myself for having weird taste buds.

I'm glad it isn't just me!

Ultra peanut fuckuppery?

The crispy ones have done the same!! I had a pouch yesterday and not the same at all 😭

The peanut butter are amazing - but oh my gosh the caramel cold brew are another level! Off to the states soon so will be stocking up 😂

I love the crispy ones in the blue packets, but aldis own peanut ones are moreish, although not uniformly sized!

I was also really wanting some for some reason. I couldn't taste a difference!

Cowlover89 · 21/09/2023 08:52

I think they still taste yummy

I had some for the first time in years last week, they were awful!

Yanbu. Totally agree!
This it's a combination of the "chocolate" (it'd so disgusting now) and the shell has gone weird too.....
Haven't eaten them in a while now because they are not as good as they used to be sadly.

They taste very cheap for the price.

Peanut butter M&M's are like crack.
I'm almost glad they're not easy to get in the UK. I'd end up with diabetes.

Ooh, I’m off to Florida in a couple of weeks. Totally buying some of these.

Peanut butter M&Ms are the best. I get people to bring them over from the US for me in huge bags!!

Go to a retailer that sells US imports and buy peanut butter m&ms. Your life will be transformed and your bank balance significantly less 😆 but they are worth it.
