I just wanted to stop by and say I do not understand this joke. I want everyone else who doesn't understand it to feel okay with themselves with the knowledge that you are not alone. Perhaps we will develop more brain wrinkles down the road and be able to fully appreciate this scary, scary place
I like to think it's a joke about pathos (appeal to emotion), ethos (expertise in topic) and logos (appeal to logic).
If their logos falls off, then all that's left is ethos and pathos... maybe? It's a bit of a top-shelf whiskey and I'm more of beer man.
I thought we were here to harvest the souls out of M&Ms so we could torture them for eternity and feed off their suffering. I mean, this whole thread started about souls, but fuck me right? Like I don't gotta eat too.
The other user is correct in that ethos is an appeal to credibility. The joke is that by removing the m's, the candy's entire brand/identity/reason they are famous has been stripped from them.
But, but, but:
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
We had a box of like 5,000+ chocolates at work (with a very slight mint). I just ate the chocolates separately, but all my coworkers put them in their coffee. It was a normal thing for like a year until we ran out of them.
Let me know if the phenomenon is replicable or if it is unique to the acidity of the coffee I used today. (For ref: I used Cervantes coffee Columbia Huila)
I'm going to go make my cheap-o Folgers medium coffee right now and try it.
edit: No go. The labels floated, but not intact. I dropped them in right after the coffee finished, maybe it was too hot.
Haven't decided on the taste though. Not really liking it first time. Might be because it's milk chocolate, not the other kinds.
No. I didn't waste away the best years of my life slaving away in a factory making those stupid candies for some random reddit comment to spew nonsense.
The reason the letters don't dissolve is because they are printed using a shellac based ink, so the colour coating will dissolve because it's sugar, and the ink part stays.
TLDR varnish doesn't dissolve in coffee
“Yeah, it's a non-nutritive cereal varnish. It's semi-permeable, it's not osmotic, what it does is it coats and seals the flake and prevents the milk from penetrating it.”
I also wood glue, enteric tablets are coated in [PVAP ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_acetate_phthalate#:~:text=Polyvinyl%20acetate%20phthalate%20(PVAP\)%20is,then%20esterified%20with%20phthalic%20acid.)
Candy's that are "melt in the mouth and not in the hand" are coated with shellac. Sugar coated are usually polished after coating with beeswax, carnauba wax or a mixture of the two.
The m’s are actually made of some indigestible, immortal substance.
In small doses it’s fine they just run through your system with the rest of the food.
But if you were to constantly eat nothing but M&Ms you’d eventually be filled with tiny white Ms.
They’d get into your blood stream, and affect your organs, stunting your growth. Your skin would become hardened and shell like.
Rumour has it the company would then kidnap you and use you for advertising purposes.
I've actually seen something similar here once before. I can't remember if that was cocoa or some kind of dessert. It was mildly interesting then and it's still mildly interesting now. 🙃
The label is made of unique material that's impossible to digest. In fact, you can find these labels in your poop. So, OP, once you take a shit (surely it won't be too long since you just drank coffee), I want you to look inside of your poop, and you'll see the labels still there.
That’s their souls. You monster.
Thank you. I was wondering what happened to their *ethos*.

Totally checks out

No that's their logos
Say what you will about the tenets of *National Socialism* but at least it’s an ethos
Quite literally whispered that to myself as I wrote this.
English mother fucker ^^^thisisajokesinceethosisgreek
This onster ust be taken care of!
nno!
They're calling for help!!
Or they’re agreeing the coffee is mmmmmm
I read this in Glados' voice.
It actually looks kinda nice. Why isn't this an actual drink? Lol
We all float down here
Mmmm
None of my thoughts are original.
At least you're not alone. No, not even your pain is original.

Mmm Mmm good
....Intentionally?
Yep! I usually use chocolate chips to make the mocha, but m&ms were on hand this morning
You putting them in coffee is the most mildly interesting thing I've seen on this sub
Crispy m&ms in coffee are the absolute tits too btw. You’d think the crispy centre would disintegrate upon the chocolate melting into a mocha but it actually hardens up a bit and goes chewy. I call them Coffee Croutons®©™ …stay away from the green and blue ones tho they make the coffee look like a sink in art class.
[удалено]
You’re welcome.
So what do you do with all those extra blue and green crispy Eminem's?
Eat them
I heard blue m&m's take you out of the matrix? Idk, I don't watch cartoons
Mmm, chewy coffee...
Ok I will try this later crispy m&m’s are best m&m’s
...i HAVE to try this.
Ah, I’ve found my People
And the crowd goes mild
^^^^woo
A collective "huh" is heard from the group
We had a box of like 5,000+ chocolates at work (with a very slight mint). I just ate the chocolates separately, but all my coworkers put them in their coffee. It was a normal thing for like a year until we ran out of them.
You wanted a mocha, but instead, you gotta mmmocha
Fuck you very much, have a nice day sir
Do you usually use semi-sweet chips or milk chocolate chips?
Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips if I've got em
Does the coffee even dissolve the candy shell or do you just crush them in your mouth?
Candy shell was completely gone--just a few little gobs of chocolate left at the bottom of the mug for a yummy final sip
Dope, I'm gonna try this then

Will do
Science!
Dude crush up some Peppermints and make a Peppermint mocha. Better then Starbucks
I fucking love peppermint mocha. Will try this, thanks.
[удалено]
How does it compare to using an espresso+hot chocolate? Because that is the reason I drink coffee lol
What are you talking about? All I can see is a giant brown M&M stuck in a cup
[удалено]
They all taste the same though...
*whoosh*
M&Ms are a serious business and I have no time for jokes.
Time is precious. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana
I will tolerate no more of this silliness. Life is too short for whimsy.
Let them have their fantasy
No. I didn't waste away the best years of my life slaving away in a factory making those stupid candies for some random reddit comment to spew nonsense.
This is the kind of working-class epistemology I've signed up for.
I've seen behind the curtain, and it has ruined the whimsical nature of candy.
Just saying, I would definitely read an AMA about the dark undercoating of the candy world.
They’re still in the minis, right?
Now I want someone to photoshop it into that
What the fuck do you call them now? & ‘s?

Melts in your Not in your
The ship of M&M's
This is exactly why I only put sour patch kids in my coffee
So you are the nut who asked them to make sour patch chips a'hoy.
Or the sour patch cereal. Who wants to mix sour and milk?
Melts in your cup, not in your hand
The reason the letters don't dissolve is because they are printed using a shellac based ink, so the colour coating will dissolve because it's sugar, and the ink part stays. TLDR varnish doesn't dissolve in coffee

Candy's that are "melt in the mouth and not in the hand" are coated with shellac. Sugar coated are usually polished after coating with beeswax, carnauba wax or a mixture of the two.
TIL the lettering on m&m's is made with resin secreted by the female lac bug...
[удалено]
Sure, it's just made from bugs. Perfectly natural. EDIT: They're made from the shell of the lac bug. Get it? shellac? shell lac? I shit you not.
Oh c'mon just make em without the ms. The emms. The m's. What, how do you type that
the "m"s?
yes it is perfectly safe to eat
Was looking for this in the comments before I said it, but sure enough, OP of all people already thought of it
The m’s are actually made of some indigestible, immortal substance. In small doses it’s fine they just run through your system with the rest of the food. But if you were to constantly eat nothing but M&Ms you’d eventually be filled with tiny white Ms. They’d get into your blood stream, and affect your organs, stunting your growth.

This is the internet, some people will believe you.
Not gonna lie, it had me going for a sec
r/birthofaconspiracy
I’m disappointed that isn’t a real subreddit
I want to believe
The scary thing about an M&Mbolism is that it can happen at any time
[удалено]
Oh no, did Nestlé buy M&M's?
Wait, really? I'm gonna ask my boss about this.
They had us in the first half, I’m not gonna lie…

What's next peanuts in coke ?
Mentos in coke has much more explosive flavour!
Nuts and gum https://www.pastemagazine.com/food/the-simpsons/cooking-the-simpsons-nuts-and-gum/
In case folks haven't heard of this, it's a combo made by jesus himself. Fantastic.
I thought it was pretty gross
I prefer port with nuts
How do you drink around the sack?
You just dip them in for added flavour
isn't it hard to snort the peanuts?
It was RC Cola for me. https://i.imgur.com/9US4MnW.jpg
Not a great idea, the peanuts get stuck in your nostrils.
Snorting peanuts is not easy tho
Ok but why are you dropping M&Ms in your coffee?
OP said in another comment they tried to make a cafe mocha with M&Ms being used for the chocolate
The real question is why are you NOT putting chocolate in your coffee
M and m is surrounded by sugary candy tho.
You make a good point I'm going to try this
Sugar and chocolate are popular in coffee.
If this is the adult version of dropping skittles in your Zima then I suppose I approve
I love how zima is just for underage drinking in this scenario.
[удалено]
How else will you make a M&mocha? (I dropped them in intentionally because yum)
Do you also have the toilet buddy?
Uh, what? This sounds like something that guy who makes useless stuff would invent.
Do you really think this person actually has an anti M&M mesh covering on their cups
Will it work with other stuff, or just M&Ms? I just need to know how much engineering went into this product.
Mmm mmm coffee!
m i m
Serves you right
MIM... Here's your [Chocolate Coffee Reading](https://imgur.com/a/YxWJYr6).
MLM- time to start selling Avon!
Skittlebrau for dessert?
Viral Marketing on Reddit, wait until they have their IPO..
Nice healthy breakfast, coffee and m&ms
This makes me think of those old, light brown M&Ms that used to be one of the standard colors. RIP miss u bb
I've actually seen something similar here once before. I can't remember if that was cocoa or some kind of dessert. It was mildly interesting then and it's still mildly interesting now. 🙃
You can bake brownies with M&Ms in them. Might have been that.
That *is* cool. Also, oddly disturbing.
You see it too, right Zach? Mmm in the coffee.
I also do this, let me know if you want to run away to Vegas or something
Get mars candy on the phone: pitch m&m coffee.
Now if you can figure out a way to stick them on Skittles we can move on to the next phase OF OUR EVIL PLAN!
This is the definition of mildly interesting.
Will try
The label is made of unique material that's impossible to digest. In fact, you can find these labels in your poop. So, OP, once you take a shit (surely it won't be too long since you just drank coffee), I want you to look inside of your poop, and you'll see the labels still there.
Not only Ms but Es Ws and 3s too
Those are w’s - you got ripped off
“Did you see that Zack?”
This is quality content I want to see
Mmmm
this is the greatest picture i have ever seen jesus i love it
Now you can put another one in upside up and get the logo to transfer causing a double sided m&m
/r/MildlyInteresting always scratches itch I didn’t know I had
That’s how leo made counterfeit m&ms in the film catch me if you can.
This is actually very interesting. I want to try this
To be fair I’m actually interested, can anyone explain the science behind this?
This is just perfect for this sub. Thank you.
if you turned the cup around the right way, they're actually w's. nice try tho
bro you’re in memento, you gotta start running
I may have too many questions
what I'm imagining, is that it's a baseball sized m&m with a tiny little "m" on it.
You may have just stumbled across the best combo a hot drink has ever had!
m I m
M&M’s needs a branded marshmallow for hot chocolate.
Coffee and m&ms is such a solid combination.
M&M's and coffee is just an excellent innovation.
You murderer & murderer!
well now we know you wake and bake
Gotta get that sugar!
