With Valentine’s Day only a few weeks away (Has your significant other reminded you yet?), it’s nice to see that the fine folks who produce M&M’s are already on the ball. It seems that they’ve come up with a new way to provide poetry AND give chocolate at the same time. To paint a very morbid picture of how convenient that is: that’s like knocking two birds out of the sky with one rifle blast.

On the Very Short List today is news that M&M’s can now be personalized to give to your lovebird this February 14th. And while the word count isn’t that long — 16 characters is all you’ve got to work with — it’s still a refreshing way to tell that special someone, “It’s Over” or “Divorce, now” if you can’t think of just the right way to put it.

The VSL compares it to fortune cookies, Alpha-bits and texting.

Yep, that’s pretty apt.
