(altho almond ones are holding me over) They are still available in Japan and apparently UK, why not in USA? just wanted to give hope to those similarly obsessed (or maybe it's just me o_O) Tue Aug 11 13:00:22 -0700 2009 14210 olia 1 4937683 Quite simply, they weren't popular enough to continue selling them. You can write to Mars and ask them to bring them back. They have returned a few times as a limited edition item, except perhaps a little different. Most recently there was a Crispy Mint version for the Indiana Jones movie last summer. They do still sell them in Canada/Australia/Indonesia and you can find them on eBay every once in a while. I've been finding them ever so often at a wine shop that sells imported candies in Los Angeles called Mel & Rose. http://www.flickr.com/photos/typetive/208743748/ Tue Aug 11 14:57:15 -0700 2009 4937275 18842 typetive 2 4942424 oooh, the crispy mint m&ms were awesome. i still have some in my stash, along with the lovely wild cherry m&ms, which are also long gone from the market.

When I see them, I stock up because I probably wont seem them the next time I am there. Wed Aug 12 06:34:09 -0700 2009 4937275 10258 Fydeaux 1 4939219 Although, not the crispy ones... I was at the grocery store recently and saw an empty display box for coconut m&m's. I had never seen these before and asked the clerk if they had any left - no. I cannot find them now. Anyone ever see these? Are they good? My husband would likely love these. Wed Aug 12 06:49:30 -0700 2009 4937275 71241 lynnlato 2 4941097 The coconut M&Ms are a limited edition item that came out in June. Once they're gone, they'll be gone (unless Mars decides to make them regular/seasonal). I saw them today at Walgreen's. They had them up by the register and were really pushing them last month.

I haven't tried them since I hate peanut butter, and the combination does not make PB any more appealing. o_O Wed Aug 12 15:27:30 -0700 2009 4941097 14210 olia 3 4942429 ok, i've got to go to walgreens, then. cvs hasn't had them where i am in arlington, va. there's a thread on the coconut m&ms. Thu Aug 13 05:12:43 -0700 2009 4941097 105717 alkapal 1 4942693 I would try your local Dollar Store. They usually sell shipments of "older "candy. I wouldn't recommend buying chocolate bars there, but M & M's should be ok.
