For years there has been a myth that green M&M's are an aphrodisiac. M&M's played up on this myth in several of their commercials including
one where a mother is speaking to her husband about her concern for a poster
hanging in her son's room that we as the
audience are assuming is a scantily clad young babe.
The father replies, "Relax dear. It's what boys do!" The camera
then pans to reveal that their sons
object of desire is Ms. Green M&M posing in all her glory. To add
to the humor the commercial ends with Mom opening the bedside table where she discovers a drawer full of green
M&Ms.
Although I got a kick out of the commercials
I need to steer you clear of green as
your M&M choice if you are trying to
create an alluring mood. Fortunately M&M’s now have an
entire palette of colors that you can mix
to match whatever message you want to communicate. You can see
all of the colors and some color suggestions at the M&M Store but below are a few tongue-in-cheek recommendations of my own.
