The good folks at Mars Inc., makers of a plethora of chocolate confections including the ever-popular M&Ms, have apparently decided the old adage "Sex sells" applies to candy, too. After 30 years of mostly ignoring the inexplicable urban legend to the effect that green M&Ms have aphrodisiacal powers, the company has rolled out new magazine and TV ads unabashedly exploiting the candy's sexy reputation. In addition to the ads, which feature teasers like "What is it about the green ones?" and "You'll melt in my hands," specially-marked packages will contain green M&Ms stamped with the sultry, trademarked face of the candy's animated spokesmodel.
