The other day, I felt the sudden urge for a little sugary pick-me-up and reached for a bag of M&M’s. I tore it open and, to my horror, only found one lonely orange candy resting at the bottom, like it was waiting for a party that never started. I stared at it, half-expecting it to sprout legs and confuse me with its newfound ability to socialize.
I couldn’t help but laugh at my own disappointment because in a world of abundance, there I was—having a deep, philosophical moment with a single M&M. It felt like life was trying to teach me a lesson about moderation or perhaps just how bizarrely tragic it is when you realize that even candy can go on a budget. After all, who would have guessed that my guilty pleasure would bring me face-to-face with existential candy crisis?

Should there be more than one M&M?

A
That’s just M.
R
Got ‘m
R
🤣
T
If you get two, then it’s M&M.
P
You know what the problem is? They have it set to “M” for mini, when it should be set to “W” for wumbo!
H
Plot twist the m stands for *mono*, you were only ever meant to get one the rest are just bonus characters.
V
Yes, the package clearly said M&M rice crispy square, not M&Ms rice crispy square.
K
M&M still implies 2 M’s
M
When you eat a singular M&M, do you just call it an M?
K
I call it an M&M that has 2 M’s
W
*It’s called no M&M**s** bar; we’re allowed to have one.*
O
No, that’s Eminem
P
No, a single piece of candy is called an M&M because the letters represent the two main components of an M&M: M for “chocolate” and M for “hard candy shell.”
K
Sooooo… 2 M’s?
P
Yes, 2 M’s to represent 1 piece of candy. >1 candy = M&Ms 1 candy = M&M Chocolate without shell = M Shell without chocolate = M (but specifically the second M)
D
Bro just got m
W
Plato would say there is only one true M&M, and all we see are variations on that one true M&M.
K
The Form of M&M.
R
So you picked them all off for internet points?
T
Soon that’ll be the norm I’m sure
N
You’re not even supposed to get that one
S
r/mildlyinfuriating
S
Yeah I agree it’s just an m
U
Oy, times are hard out here
S
That ain’t even an M, it’s a off brand… N or E maybe
K
I’m colorblind and I see 7, you guys only see 1?
K
Nope. You only get one.
S
Like EA…you have to pay for the others. Micro transactions my good man!
V
That’s not an m&m 😬
D
That one was probably made by Kelog’s..
S
It’s a sad crispy treat
T
Oh hey, a Red Baron pepperoni pizza
P
I’ve been playing this game with a costco pack recently. The least I got on any single package was 2, but some had like 10.
A
You didn’t get the memo, that’s the amount it’s always been, in fact our rations have been just upgraded from 3 m&m’s per snack to 1 m&m per snack, thank prosperity, also we’ve always been at war with EastAsia or maybe Eurasia, I forget.
R
The cannibal m&m
S
Reminds me of one time my family was at a seafood restaurant, my step dad orders tilapia and prawns, it comes to the table and there’s just one prawn. He calls the waiter over and makes a bit of a scene. “I ordered the tilapia and prawns this is tilapia and prawn! ” The waiter calmly brings the menu back over and shows him that it literally says “Tilapia and Prawn” right on the menu. My brother and I laughed so hard.
Y
My kid opened one with only one M&M as well. She was so excited to so sad real quick
L
Not if you are mentioned in the Epstein files…
P

D
You got yourself a unicorn.
A

S
OP got a Finish dishwasher detergent pod
D

M
Not in a snack pack, you ungrateful peasant!
P
My dad worked at Kellogg and made those bars. Out of the Snap, Crackle and….he was the Pop.
S
It’s just one M trying to live its best life
M
Check the packet, looks like you got some “Mmms”.
D
