Well, since I live in the U.S M&M's are EVERYWHERE here. I can understand why they may smell a bit off in the UK as hershey chocolate is made a bit different over here, and usually has a very different taste from something I may order from the UK as I tend to lean more towards you folks chocolates. M&M's are very big here and now can even be ordered customized with messages, or colors. I like them, but wouldnt go out of my way to buy them, or even really buy a bag unless I needed to.
