JoJo2 Star Poster Registered: Fri Nov 19 1999 Posts: 17656 Loc: San Diego California USA	PRINTING THE M ON AN M&M How do they get the M on an M&M? Perplexing. I can crush those things between my fingers. Get ready for this though. The people at M&M actually employ hundreds of struggling artists to paint each letter! It is one of the most unsung stories of corporate charity. OK, that's a lie. The secret lies in the conveyor belt. The candies are fit into little holes in the belt, leaving just a tiny amount of M&M sticking out. Then, the press is adjusted so that it lightly presses against the M&M to allow the paint to stick. The peanuts are bit trickier: Since they're all different sizes, the presses are adjusted to hit properly on an average sized candy. The others are either left unprinted or smashed to bits.

I'd be happy to sacrifice ( ) and take them off their hands for them! Whole or smashed - yummmmmmmm! _________________________ Cats know what we feel. They don't care, but they know.
