I forgot what the other colors were made out of, but they weren't the Yellow-5's or other artificial colorings.), but they tasted like regular M&M's. I remember people who got the Reeses Peanut Butter cup dupes loving them, and they probably didn't have the food coloring problem, since it's mostly just chocolate and peanut butter colors /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I actually loved the colors of the kind of m&ms...I thought they were pretty (kind of jewel toned!) and I liked that they didn't have that dye flavor I can detect in regular ones /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I liked the Reeses and Milky Way type, too. I would like to buy more of them but I never think of it!

haha, I guess that's another way of looking at it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Maybe if they were themed instead of feeling like "oh these are the bright M&M dupes" in my head the color wouldn't have bothered me.  They tasted the same, so I didn't really mind too much in the end, but the most common reaction I got from my co-workers (I had brought them to work and passed them out) were all asking if they were really old M&M's lol.

Oooh, I remember those!  I got them, and for some reason, they tasted like honey to me (I think they were actually flavored with cane sugar).  I would have bought more, but the only place I could find them here is Staples... and I almost never go there!

In other news, I don't think BzzAgent loves me anymore... If I get a campaign invite, I'll probably pass out from surprise before I remember to go and accept it!

Ditto. I think we're living parallel lives right now. Nobody wants to give us free stuff

Unreal candy gave away their products in Central Park a few months ago - I was able to try the M&M type candies and really enjoyed these. I even thought that these Unreal candies tasted better than M&Ms.

 

[lorizav]

Yes, I live in FL and got the $5 wine coupon as well, I wonder how much the wine costs?

 

[ewiggy]

FYI, not sure about other states, but I've personally seen Unreal products in Target stores in CA and OR.

And also in Walgreens in OR. I initially thought they were a Walgreens house brand the first time I saw them.

Lmao I feel the same way its been so long  I wouldn't know what to do.

My score dropped below 8 and just a survey here and there. I declined the wine one. I didn't want to have to spend a bunch of money on wine after the terrible Skinny Girl stuff. My husband hasn't gotten anything and he signed up 2 months ago. 😟

The faded colour wouldn't bother me at all, I've actually never understood why so many foods use unnaturally bright colours - it's actually unappetizing to me, even when I was younger and loved junk food lol. Mmm, peanut butter, one of my weaknesses. I looooove the machines at Whole Foods/Central Market where you can grind your own PB, especially the honey roasted ones!

Same here, I can't even remember the last time BzzAgent emailed me even if it wasn't for a campaign.

 

[jesemiaud]

I had a few surveys when I checked a bit ago. 

Grocery stores I use

Skin care purchases

Skin sensitivities and ailments

Got my Special K Nourish box this past weekend! But one of the hot cereal cup seal broke during shipment and spilled oatmeal over everything else. But still, the others were pretty tasty. I like the bars better than the hot cereal! Especially the lemon bar!

I got nothing between February and June so it's nice to see some campaigns again.

When I first joined, it took me 6 months to get into my first campaign, and another 6 months to get into my 2nd.  It's picked up since they changed the scoring though.

I had these today too but does not look like I qualified? Or do the just do surveys without campaigns?

The surveys come before invites. You can get many surveys with no invites.

I remember I got my first campaign right as I signed up, but only because it was the Hidden Valley Ranch one that they were having trouble filling up or something lol. Apparently the food version of Redbox. I think I've had 4 or 5 campaigns total in the year I've been a member. Fingers crossed for more campaigns!
