If I Were an M&M...This Is What I'd Look Like

(Or as close as I could get with the limited choices I had available.)

Yes, I admit, I succumbed to the marketing. I don't even watch TV and I still got sucked in! (And being at least tangentially in the field, so to speak, you'd think I'd know better.) But I couldn't help it! I've always had a fondness for the M&M character, from way back in the '80s before they even reinvented the characters and made them such a marketing/licensing phenomenon. Ask anyone who knew me back then--I used to draw an M&M man character all the time. It was like my little signature doodle. So of course when they reinvented and expanded the character story, I kept loving the products. And now, it all comes together for me in the ultimate expression of our times--the ability to make your own personalized M&M avatar. I must admit, it's brilliantly done. And by God I wish I'd thought of it first. Ah well.

Feel free to make your own and send me a link. Because we should all waste our copious spare time being sucked in to clever marketing campaigns for junk food...this is America!
