pretzel M&Ms are made of win. and chocolate. and pretzel. and a hard candy shell. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 11:00 25
- They are the best M&M's. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 26, 11:14
- I am optimistic that these could overcome my general loathing of pretzeled bread. - Dr.Vermin Aug 26, 11:05
- trish loves them - I'm not so sure of this sweet & salty craze going on though -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 11:03 20
  - How does her Food Crazy deal with the chocolate and pretzel touching? (nm) - musubi Aug 26, 11:05 19
    - its all one food, its not like having a skittle and an m&m at the same time -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 11:06 18
      - so if you were to wrap an entire meal in, say, burrito form, it would no longer violate food touching rules? - Reagen Aug 26, 11:07 17
        
        This is what I was just wondering. If you took that KFC bowl and baked it like a pot pie, whammo, it's not offensive to her Food Crazy anymore? (nm) - musubi Aug 26, 11:09 3
        
        if it was a pot pie and intended to be such, I think she would approve -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 11:12 2
        
        I love that *intent* is what determines palatability for her. "Sure that sandwich looks nice, but does it mean well?" (nm) - musubi Aug 26, 11:14 1
        
        I don't question it anymore. I just accept it and move along -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 11:15
        
        yeah, she eats burritos because the stuff "belongs together" -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 11:08 12
        
        I see a marketing opportunity for the "Thanksgiving Burrito". -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 11:09 11
        
        I'm surprised that some wrap company doesn't already make one -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 11:14 10
        
        let's see ... turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, brussell sprouts ... corn ... - Beryllium Aug 26, 11:16
        
        seriously, turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potato, gravy and corn, all wrapped up in a flour tortilla - that's $$$ right there. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 11:15 8
        
        We should start our own company, with this and the S'moritto. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 26, 11:27 2
        
        The Thanksilada! - JaxSean Aug 26, 11:31 1
        
        Holy crap, that's brilliant. -- nm - mara Aug 26, 11:37
        
        hold the cranberry, add some stuffing and I'll preorder a case right now. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 26, 11:23
        
        i'll pass - prayformojo Aug 26, 11:19 1
        
        this is just the draft version, I'm open to suggestions. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 11:20
        
        It should really be in KFC Double Down form -- nm - Roger More Aug 26, 11:17
        
        I was thinking that the cranberry sauce could be like an empanada -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 11:17
- So it's really more like "essence of win". -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 11:02 1
  - eau de la victoire -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 11:10

  - Why do I not own this on DVD yet? -- nm - nubby Aug 26, 11:00 4

      - It looks like it has now. -- (link) - Reagen Aug 26, 11:01 2

- A thing, a place and a place! -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 10:58
i just bought chocolate covered potato chips. unfortunately, they aren't for me and i'm not sure if i'll get to try them. - Andie Aug 26, 10:56 3
- These sound terrible. I must try them! -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 10:57 2
  - i'm assuming the taste won't be dissimilar to, say, chocolate covered pretzels. that same sweet/salty combo. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 10:59 1
    - I'm the world's biggest fan of pretzels. And I'm a great supporter of chocolate. - ty97 Aug 26, 11:00
