Though I’ve already covered an M&M’s product<\/a> in the Countdown this year, they’ve earned this second spot by coming out with something that is awfully fun.\u00a0 Exclusive to Walgreens stores, M&M’s has released a Halloween-themed fun-size assortment where the individual fun size packs glow in the dark!\u00a0 Make the jump to check them out!<\/p>\n

As I’ve already pointed out, this special glow-in-the-dark Halloween packaging is a Walgreens exclusive item, and that is highlighted in this clipping from last week’s Sunday circulars that I saved:<\/p>\n

And now on to the goodies.\u00a0 The large outer-package doesn’t contain any glow-in-the-dark ink on it (at least I don’t think so…I never checked!) but it’s still a great-looking piece – it reminds of Goosebumps for some reason:<\/p>\n

\"Mars

There are five different fun size packs contained in the assortment, featuring each of the main M&M’s mascots in a different Halloween costume.\u00a0 Here they are:<\/p>\n

I’ve actually looked at all of these in a completely dark room (after charging their special inks up in the light) and while the glow effect is not super-strong, it’s still fun.\u00a0 They also used the glow ink on both the front and back of the packs.<\/p>\n

I was going to try to do some long-exposure photography to capture the actual glow-effect, but didn’t really have time, so instead I’ve created a simulated look at how these appear when they’re in effect.\u00a0 These simulated images capture the glow-in-the-dark areas pretty well, if not perfectly.\u00a0 Here they are!<\/p>\n

That’s all of the individual fun size packages.\u00a0 I gotta say, the whole glow-in-the-dark thing may be a bit pass\u00e9 these days, but I still get a kick out of seeing it used in this way.\u00a0\u00a0 Kudos to the folks who came up with the idea for this one.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share on M&M’s Walgreens-exclusive Halloween Glow-in-The-Dark Fun Size M&M’s packs.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
