Shut up and eat

Yeah ok, so I'm a sucker for advertising. I succumbed to the M&M commercials beckoning poor chicks such as myself to step over to the dark side - dark chocolate M&Ms side that is.
My first impression...yuck. Disgusting, unappetizing colors with a flavor that doesn't taste too different from the regular fun colored candies. Colors like gray - ooooh yummy; maroon; dark blue; dark chocolate brown (only good choice) and then strangely a light violet color. Right there, like a moth seeking a fire I was ready to flip back to the light side. I considered sending them back for a refund. Instead I just let them sit on counter in a zip lock bag.
Tried them again tonight - still not as dark chocolate flavored as I would like, but today they do taste better. I just wish they weren't the hideous colors. What would be so wrong about them being the bright happy colors? Chocolate is supposed to be a mood swinging food - swinging you to the light side. When I'm in a funk I don't want candy that appears as dreary as the mind set I'm about to eat my way out of.
My plea to Mars - make the damn things cheerful and I'll visit the dark side on more regular basis. Otherwise, I'm sticking to the milk chocolate on this one.
