I couldn't help but laugh when you mentioned the dark chocolate M&Ms cause I had purchased some early today of this same variety, never having tried them before. I was happily surprised they were so good, I didn't know until I got home they were the dark chocolate, got them at Big Lots and was more impressed with the price and the fact that they were peanut type than the variety. $2 for the big bag. <BR/>Its raining buckets here too and has been for the last two days, with tornados forcasted all around.

Sitting atop a bagmaker, is a computer weigher that consists of (for an application like M&Ms) 18 to 24 "buckets" that measure the contents of themselves. Each bucket drops its contents into another bucket level where the weight is double-checked. The weigher then decides which combination of buckets will most closely match the designated weight, and release only those buckets into the filling tube and down into the bag that's being formed below. If, coincidentally, an even number of M&Ms is what is required to match the designated weight of the package, then it will almost always be an even number!StarSAELShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17839642363920736854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-47480612475528864552008-04-09T22:20:00.000-07:002008-04-09T22:20:00.000-07:00Peanut M&Ms are the best thing ever invented!
