These are the M&M's we know and love:
en.wikipedia.org
Delightfully chromatic pieces of chocolate joy.
But did you know that in the 1980s, M&M's had a different look?
They were brown...
...yellow...
...green...
...orange...
and tan (?!).
BUT THAT'S IT. Which means that M&M's looked something like THIS* in the 1980s:

*Minus the reds, if you can even imagine a more dreary combination of candy-coated sadness.
Thankfully, someone realized that spiraling into a Thanksgiving-hued vortex of despair isn't what you want when you tear open a bag of M&M's.
So they nixed the tans, reintroduced the reds, and added blue.
And everything was right with the world.
Never change, M&M's!
But HOLD UP. Why would they ever discontinue purple?
They should FOR DEFINITELY bring these babies back!

(But they can keep the tans...yeeck).
