If you were born in or before the 1980s and your parents allowed you to eat candy, chances are good that you encountered tan M&Ms. But for those of you who had your first chocolate experience in the mid-90s, you will probably know the current M&M color line up, which includes the color blue.

The America I Saw by Traveling 150,000 Miles on Greyhound
Maybe it’s the hypnotic rumble of the bus wheels beneath me. Or sitting side-by-side with a stranger, as if I’m in a bar or a confessional.
