Perv!

So then. As a promo for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, M&Ms has put out a couple of limited-edition candies.

The ones I am currently eating while trying not to giggle are called "Pirate Pearls." They're entirely in pale cream and white colors, and made from white chocolate. There are a few more in a bag than your average M&Ms--enough, perhaps, to make one a necklace.

The ones I haven't tried yet are called "Jack's Gems."

WHO IN THEIR MARKETING DEPARTMENT THOUGHT THESE NAMES WERE A GOOD IDEA?

I dunno; the more I think about it, the more I think maybe it was actually very clever. Perhaps the presentation went like this:

"Innocent people will think "oh, that's a cute name", and just get them, and smarter people will buy them because of the humor factor! Whether they get it or not, either way they'll buy it!"
