Food Moment – Deprive or Not?

After a weekend of re-engineering and over-engineering a garage door opener into a space that clearly did not take into account that components fail over time, I’m in the mood for something a bit more whimsical.  But then, the Daily Prompt comes out with a theme of Deprive…

No freaking way, people!  It’s not happening.  So this food image is for those of you who want to let go on a this Monday and dip into a rainbow of snackery, that you know is bad for you!  Please, enjoy irresponsibly!!

Mondays & Mondays

These M&Ms were color-sorted for your entertainment, as I wanted to prove that Skittles might taste the rainbow, but M&Ms represent the rainbow of ultimate American superfood.

M&M’s originated in the United States in 1941, and are now sold in as many as 100 countries. More than 400 million individual M&M’s are produced every day in the United States.  They are produced in different colors, some of which have changed over the years. The candy-coated chocolate concept was inspired by a method used to allow soldiers to carry chocolate without having it melt. The company’s longest-lasting slogan reflects this: “Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.”

Technical Details

This shot was taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mk II using an EF 24-105mm f/4L lens.  Studio was used judiciously to create some specular highlights in the right places.

    I wonder, which is the correct order to eat these sweets. By all of one colour at once or one of each in turn? I like he green ones the best.

    Love this Frank. Whimsical is a great word & seems to go with this photo. Thanks!! 🙂
    I also wanted to let you know that I’m going to be taking a break from blogging, probably for a week to a week and a half. I’m at a spiritual conference so will be booked up most of the day. Just wanted to let you know in case you didn’t hear from me! I plan to do a blog post tomorrow to let folks know. <3 [So I may not get to your Tuesday Challenge for this week!]
    Have a wonderful week, and so many blessings your way.

    Nikki and I just stumbled upon a new flavor of M&Ms. Chili peanut M&Ms. The peanut is coated in chili powder for just a touch of heat. Very addictive, proceed with caution. Awesome picture.

      Luckily, I am safe, as I don’t enjoy M&Ms at all 🙂 Chocolate just shouldn’t be crunchy 🙂

      I do like very dark chocolate twith cracked pepper or chili, as chocolate and heat are a perfect combination.

      Hope you enjoy this week!
