Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 We all know M&M advertises theirs as melting in your mouth, not in your hands. But lately me and BlueJeans, also our nieces have noticed stains left on our hands, especially from the blue M&Ms. Anyone else encouter these traces?

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I generally dump 5-6 in my hand and pop them all in my mouth, no loitering around in my hand, so I haven't noticed any melting problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 It's the chocolate that doesn't melt in your hand. There has always been some transfer of the outer coating if they are held in the hand for any length of time, especially if damp. The blue may be a more intense dye than the others (never understood the recent fad for blue foods - the only foods that should be blue are blueberries and some of the veined cheeses), and, since it isn't a color natural to the human body, you see it more. Reds, yellows, and even greens tend to blend better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Melting is the changing of a solid to a liquid because of heat. That is not what is happening. What is happening is the moisture on your hands, whether sweat or just plain skin oil, is causing the dye to run. I put M&Ms on my ice cream. No way is anything melting there, but when I get to the bottom, I'm liable to find an M&M sitting in a puddle of green vanilla ice cream. The moisture of the ice cream made the dye on the candy run.
