515703 Sun May 04 08:55:45 -0700 2008 31 14 Washington DC & Baltimore Area 0 3654980 I've got a BOLO alert for these new M&Ms, supposedly being introduced with the new raiders of the lost ark film. anyone seen them? especially in northern virginia? ;-P if you've found them, do they live up to their chowhound kudos? Sun May 04 08:55:46 -0700 2008 105717 alkapal 1 3655986 I've seen them at CVS and Giant up in the Baltimore area. Definitely worth it. Sun May 04 16:48:59 -0700 2008 3654980 25492 lstormont 2 3664131 Spotted yesterday at the CVS in McLean, VA. At this store, they were in a special cardboard RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK display although I don't think they were actually in the candy aisle. I didn't buy any. Wed May 07 05:58:24 -0700 2008 3655986 61567 Indy 67 3 3664141 wha? you saw......and did not buy and try? oh, my cvs here on spout run is behind the times!!!! thanks for the report. maybe they'll creep down 123, up military, across lorcom to spout run. how long should that take? ;-D Wed May 07 06:01:27 -0700 2008 3664131 105717 alkapal 1 3690651 I found them at Blockbuster video in Alexandria (Beuregard, near the CVS and Giant). They are delish! Mint M&Ms are my fave Christmastime treat and crispy was my favorite before it was discontinued, so this is my fantasy M&M! Thu May 15 12:02:18 -0700 2008 3654980 117080 LaceyB522 1 3691300 Had them from a Weis (I think that's where my wife got them) a few weeks ago. Thu May 15 14:17:07 -0700 2008 3654980 122220 insidecharmcity 1 3691584 there is an empty spot for them on the shelf at my cvs on spout run pkwy. i haven't found a bag yet! Thu May 15 15:47:10 -0700 2008 3654980 105717 alkapal 1 3691767 CVS b/w 14th and 15th Thu May 15 16:53:24 -0700 2008 3654980 18011 Jacey 1 3692209 I've also seen them at Walgreens (multiple DC locations). They're minty alright, but definitely not M&M enough! Thu May 15 19:46:22 -0700 2008 3654980 56733 choconut 1 3692306 Ooo...let me know if they show up at the Spout Run/Lee Hwy CVS location (Lyon Village)...that's my CVS too! I was there yesterday and didn't see them up front with all the other candy. I want them!!! Thu May 15 20:29:41 -0700 2008 3654980 27786 AlliantK 1 3693667 They have them at Target - I've seen them at two of them so far (Columbia Heights and Alexandria). CVS is pretty bad about getting limited edition candy up in a timely fashion. My local CVS on 14th and H still has the wildly cherry limited edition ones from months ago and no mint crisps. Fri May 16 10:14:20 -0700 2008 3654980 189024 ViolentScarlet 1 3695749 I got them at Safeway in the Rose Hill shopping center on Franconia Rd (or was it the Giant in Springfield? now I can't remember). Anyway, that was a week ago and my bag's almost empty. :) They were in a big display in the dairy section (? yeah, I know). Fri May 16 21:57:53 -0700 2008 3654980 128894 chinkleDC 1 3695964 I've seen them at a few different Rite Aids in the area. Has anyone tried the Wild Cherry ones or whatever? I'm very much intrigued by those... Sat May 17 03:52:49 -0700 2008 3654980 97325 MDoodle 2 3695987 ok, i looked again at spout run cvs for mint crisp. now not only no bags, but NO TAG for their spot on the shelf. ;-(( BUT, being the intrepid "i've got to have something different today" hound, i bought the wild cherry. ok, they are good. real good. they taste like cherry cordials (choco-covered cherries), and are in varying sizes of plumpness. some are much rounder than regular m&ms. some even have a darker red shade, like real cherries would. all this is a GOOD thing. get some, mdoodle, and report your opionion, if you will. (BUT don't buy out my stash, please) Sat May 17 04:35:10 -0700 2008 3695964 105717 alkapal 3 3700617 hmmm...i didn't see wild cherry m&ms at the CVS on spout run. where are they? i didn't even know about them! i looked for the mint crisp m&ms at the CVS on Harrison street next to Blockbuster (and i also looked in blockbuster) and they weren't there either! i'm starting to doubt they even exist! : ( Mon May 19 07:35:55 -0700 2008 3695987 27786 AlliantK 4 3704066 they are over in the section where the summer special products are (on the left, in the middle aisle rack, before the aisle with the tons of sunscreen)--- not near the regular candy area facing the photo developing area. i'll go check again today, but they were good. they do exist, they do exist! (although i feel the same way about the existence of the mint ones!) Tue May 20 05:32:02 -0700 2008 3700617 105717 alkapal 5 3735626 The Target on Rt 1 south of Alexandria has the Wild Cherry ones on discount. :) Fri May 30 15:14:43 -0700 2008 3704066 128894 chinkleDC 1 3701296 Rite Aids in No VA often have them. I love them, they are like miniature girl scout cookies (thin mints to be exact). Mon May 19 10:16:33 -0700 2008 3654980 12752 MsDiPesto 2 3704069 rite-aid will be my target today! thanks! Tue May 20 05:33:24 -0700 2008 3701296 105717 alkapal 3 3704718 I've seen them at the Giant on FFX County Pkwy in Herndon, and also at a few local 7-11's. I love all things minty and thought these were very tasty. Good luck! Tue May 20 08:57:37 -0700 2008 3704069 86642 MaryDC 4 3705567 i just wonder how their distribution works? strange! Tue May 20 11:58:58 -0700 2008 3704718 105717 alkapal 1 3707501 The CVS at the corner of Harford Road and Hamilton Avenue...YUM Wed May 21 03:53:32 -0700 2008 3654980 109812 crosby_p 2 3707563 crosby, what town? Wed May 21 04:51:07 -0700 2008 3707501 105717 alkapal 3 3707568 Baltimore City...sorry! Wed May 21 04:53:34 -0700 2008 3707563 109812 crosby_p 4 3808321 I've seen them at two Rite-Aids (the one on Chase St and a crappy one on North Ave!) Tue Jun 24 07:21:15 -0700 2008 3707568 19354 scarlet starlet 1 3808053 i had to fly to sw florida to find them at a sweet bay grocery. just kidding. i was on a family trip, and leapt for joy when i spotted six bags. i bought one. and at home tried them. good, like little girl scout cookies! went back later and bought out the remaining four bags (one had gotten away from me!) Tue Jun 24 06:00:47 -0700 2008 3654980 105717 alkapal 1 3808439 I just bought three bags on sale at the Suitland, MD Target. There was an entire plastic bin full of them. Get thee to a Target. Tue Jun 24 07:56:13 -0700 2008 3654980 203521 jesstheca 1 3808463 got more last week the same place I got em originally...CVS on Harford Rd in Hamilton Tue Jun 24 08:02:17 -0700 2008 3654980 109812 crosby_p 1 3825546 FINALLY, they have arrived at cvs on spout run pkwy and lee hwy in arlington! (summer items section, top candy bins). if you haven't tried them, but love girl scout thin mint cookies (when they were good, back in the day), try these. you will thank me! Mon Jun 30 03:25:04 -0700 2008 3654980 105717 alkapal 1 3832220 found raspberry ones yesterday at the Walgreens on York Road in Baltimore...don't like em as much as the mint though! Wed Jul 02 03:35:39 -0700 2008 3654980 109812 crosby_p 2 3832711 crosby p, ooooh, raspberry! i'll probably find those in december at the rate the mint crisps took to get to my cvs. have you tried wildly cherry? pretty good, but mint crisp is best m&m ever. period. Wed Jul 02 07:54:18 -0700 2008 3832220 105717 alkapal 3 3835492 I agree....the mint is the best...the raspberry reminds me (both color and taste) vaguely of cough syrup! (but they are still tasty!)
