The Giant Fighting Robot Report

I am dubious. (I am metal.) I am stainless. I am milk in your plastic.

I think the Star Wars tie-ins have finally jumped the shark. And this is from a franchise that had a couple thousand Jar-Jar products for Episode I.



Star Wars M&Ms. There are 72 different packages. Collect them all, it says.


72 packages
$3.49 a package
------------------
$251.28


At 220 calories per serving, and approximately 9 servings per bag, that would be 152,560 calories, the equivalent of two months of caloric intake. (I am basing these off of the peanut Jedi mix that I grabbed the other day.)

Assuming, of course, you'd violate the mint-in-box packaging by actually eating the things.
