Ms. Brown Steps Into The Spotlight

One of the commercials I was wide awake for during Sunday's Super Bowl was the M&M's commercial featuring their new character Ms. Brown 

Brown is one of the original colors for M&M and they finally got around to introducing a computer generated spokescandy character for it.

Ms Brown has been behind the scenes the 'chief chocolate officer' and is now stepping out from behind the corporate shadows.   Ms. Brown joins Ms. Green as the other female spokescandy.

During the commercial I thought I detected the voice of one of my fave triple threat performers in Vanessa L. Williams.   While listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show this morning she happily confirmed for me during the interview that she indeed is the voice of Ms Brown. 

BTW, in case you're wondering, the voice for Ms Green is Cree Summer of A Different World fame.  

In case you didn't see it, here's the new commercial.

I Want Candy (Corn)

Since Halloween is rapidly approaching, I've already rode down to CVS and Walgreen's and stocked up on candies I can pass out to the kids that do show up on my doorstep tomorrow night.  

While I'm waiting for the adorable girls and ghouls to show up in their costumes with bags in hand, in addition to my obligatory pint of Blue Bell, I'll have a few bags of candy corn standing by for my personal consumption.

While I love chocolate in all its forms, when I have a taste for it I can't get enough of candy corn.   My love for it however runs in cycles.  

The last time I ate some of it was during the move, when I bought a bag of it during a fuel stop in Hammond, LA   I destroyed it before we left Tangipahoa Parish.  


I may go a few months without even thinking about it or walk past it while I'm grabbing bags of Hershey's kisses or whatever chocolate du jour I'm feeling at that moment.  But when I get a taste for it, I'm scarfing it up in mass quantities for at least two weeks, and just as suddenly as the craving for it came, it's gone.

But my craving for it is back, and just in time for Halloween.
