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 💔

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.

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

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

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.

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.

ItstimeToMoveagain · 21/09/2023 08:37

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

Cowlover89 · 21/09/2023 08:52

I think they still taste yummy

faban · 21/09/2023 08:58

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

YoureALizardHarry11 · 21/09/2023 08:58

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

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 😂

Ultra peanut fuckuppery?

MrsPercyParkKeeper · 21/09/2023 09:22

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!

OneTC · 21/09/2023 09:24

I'm not ready for this if it's true

Like we don't know Hmm go eat some kale and leave us to our M&M discussion.

Second the Lidl dupes.

I love these. But they have drastically reduced the size of the bag. DP took a shovel load of mine yesterday the bastard and there were hardly any left. The bags used to be huge.

LuckyAmy1986 · 21/09/2023 10:21

DH is in the US on business... I have never tried peanut butter M&Ms. Shall I put in an order?!

I don't think anyone was under the impression M&Ms are a whole food harvested by hard working farmers from the rare Venezuelan M&M vine.

My friend brought me some Bounty M&Ms back from Oz and I am obsessed. I'm having to ration them out.

Minikievs · 21/09/2023 10:33

Ooooooooooh, peanut butter m&ms????? This sounds like my dream!! And DD dream. It's her birthday soon maybe I'll get her a bag as a birthday stocking filler.
When do people buy them from in Uk?

Minikievs · 21/09/2023 10:33

*where 🙄

MrsPercyParkKeeper · 21/09/2023 10:38

Bounty M&Ms oh my. I need these

IdleAnimations · 21/09/2023 10:43

A lot of food has been ruined, I don’t know if it’s because of the sugar tax or health police. So many nice things are a shadow of their former selves and yet wildly more expensive.

I miss coco pops and sugar puff cereal the most 😣they taste stale and cheap nowadays.
