My last American review for a little while…hopefully, you boys sure do know how to put me off chocolate. Anyway, here we have some Mint Crisp M&M’s, which were new at the time of writing (mid-June) and released to coincide with the new (again, time of writing) Indiana Jones movie.

Each pack has a “fun fact” on the back, of which there are 16. I had fun fact 11! Wanna know what it was? Ok! When it came time to pick an actor to play Indy’s father, Sean Connery was always director Steven Spielberg’s first choice. Wow! And guess what? Mars put a M&M spin on the story too, wanna know that as well? Alright then! When it came time to pick a new color (sic <.<) to join M&M's Brand, Blue was the first choice of more than 10 million U.S. consumers. OH MY GOD. That is fantastic and my life is enriched because of it. Thank you Mars!

Ok, I overdid it there. Anyway, the pack looks nice enough. Indy is on the front, strutting his stuff with the green M&M, who I can tell is female due to the shape of her lips. No I didn't look TOO closely, stop judging me!

So let's open these up. Ok, they're open. I'm pouring them out and now they're all out. We have three different colours (proper spelling) here - dark green, light green and white. Each one tastes exactly the same, it's just to mix it up a bit.

They're slightly larger than normal M&M's, and after biting one in half, I saw that these are basically exactly the same as Crispy M&M’s! Oh wait, except for the mint flavour that comes through too. Do you have crispy M&M’s in America? I can’t be bothered to check, I hope you do otherwise it’d be odd to use that formula with mint but not on its own.

The mint is quite nice, these are quite nice. Maybe it was just me but when I bit into the crispyness, they tasted ever so slightly salty. Just a touch of it. I checked the back and…oh, there it is! They do use salt! I’m impressed with my palette but annoyed that they put that in there. I do not want to become addicted to your salt-sugar combos!

Oh yeah, like I said, these are nice. For the love of god Mars will you give us SOMETHING M&M-wise? I’m sick of the same three varieties on the shelves. Give us peanut butter, or mint, or some of those cherry ones or just something you cheap gits. I’ll buy enough to keep you afloat, promise (not really).
