To be clear, I doubt that the newest flavors will mean that the peanut ones (my favorite) will go away forever, but the counter space at any m&m store just got a lot smaller in order to make way for the CoffeeNut, HoneyNut and ChiliNut ones now in rotation.
I get it ... it's an election year and so voting is trending (here's hoping as many people vote for a president as do for the next nut [and here's hoping that those phrases remain mutually exclusive when *that* mess is all over]) ... but why do we have to ruin a good thing?
I blame the potato chip folks ... who have been offering up "chip elections" for a few years running -- despite the fact that most of the sample flavors taste like someone just came along and swept up all the leftover flavor powder on the floor at the chip processing plant and mixed it together and said "try this". Actually, I blame the combos folks ... who experimented and failed miserably in the null's with a cheeseburger flavored bag (it had a pickle aftertaste that allowed it to also serve as an emetic). Actually, I blame the Latinos most of all ... because this all started when the big companies decided to add lime to everything trying to get their pesos as their community grew into an increasingly bigger demographic.
Back in the day when it was sooo much easier to choose my m&m's (plain or peanut ... those used to be the only choices) ... you are missed.
