It seems to be some rule of candy that if you stick with one brand for long enough, they will do something stupid that will make you not like them. Maybe I am a little bit too harsh and judgmental, but it certainly seems to apply most of the time. M&Ms, of course, are the classic example. Do you remember what they looked like when you were growing up? There wasn’t any blue color. There were two shades of brown, a light brown and a dark brown. Although a description of the colors in a bag of M&Ms does not sound so appealing, the actual look of the whole bag together was quite attractive. They were quite distinctive from say, Skittles, or other similarly sized candies. When they added that atrocious blue and removed one of the browns, it was a blow to this chocolate lovers heart. I have never forgiven them for that.

There are people that say all bottled water is the same. They see no difference in either taste or health benefit. Water is water, they think, and they just get the most convenient and cheapest bottles of water that they find when they walk into a store. Others, like myself, can taste a difference in different bottled water brands, and I have ones that I prefer. I don’t think there is any quality difference among many of the brands, but I do think some taste better than others.
