M&Ms lose all color

As for the documentary thing, no.  It's a running joke I have with a guy I work with.  He was born in England, so I try to convince him that every English related film is a documentary.  So when I see a movie and ask him about it, it's prefaced with, "I saw this excellent documentary this weekend, it's called Snatch".  And so on.

Thanks, I wish I could do something like that, with a straight face.

It's amazing what I can do with a straight face.

I'll have to see if I still have some pictures at home from the time I, I mean someone else, moved his office into the bathroom.

Was anyone else totally unaware that C&TCF was written by R. Dahl. I wasn't, and I read it to my kids. Ah, the joys of parenting. Makes you lose your mind.

Eggshell & lvory :biggrin:

You forgot the best documentary of them all: a clockwork orange

If you can forgive my ignorance, why is this significant? And you're right, I'm not sure how that documentary slipped my mind. Especially since we were disussing it last week.

Just heard an interesting piece of Willy Wonka & TCF trivia this week...the reason that the movie was named WW&TCF instead of Charlie and TCF is because of the (then) association with Charlie dropping bombs! They thought people wouldn't see the (ahem) DOCUMENTARY if the name Charlie was in the title. Pretty wild, huh?

And I must say that I just love the 'documentary' goof!!! Wish I had some English friends to try it on... :smile:

Interesting. Using a Chocolate factory as a cover to make bombs. Also, the documentary goofcan be used on anyone. Just try to convince them that the film protrays actual events. Like say, True Romance. Tell people it's a true story, they have to believe you. Or call you a liar. And most people won't do that. And for the few that will, make them prove that you are wrong.

Hasn't anyone been to an M&Ms Colorworks store?  You can mix your own batches from about two dozen different colors.

Never even heard of one. Where are they located?

There's an M&M store/Museum on the Las Vegas Strip, on the MGM side of the street (there's a Coca Cola store in the same "mall").

It does indeed have a wide spectrum of colors. Rumor has it the place is popular with brides-to-be who want to find M&M's that match their wedding colors to use as party favors for their receptions.

I picked up a couple of packages at Giant today. This was the third or fourth place I looked before I found them.

I happen to have an open bag of Valentine's Day colored lying around the house so I took a few pics.

Here are the black and white M&M's in a red bowl
