Why there is no chocolate m&m’s in Norway?

1. I read something about certain U.S. food dyes not being legal in Norway/EU.

2. I actually think Non Stop are better.

3. There is an article about it here in Norwegian [https://www.nettavisen.no/nyheter/derfor-finner-du-ikke-m-m-s-pa-kiwi-eller-rema/s/5-95-1203442](https://www.nettavisen.no/nyheter/derfor-finner-du-ikke-m-m-s-pa-kiwi-eller-rema/s/5-95-1203442)

   In short: No one knows. Even Mars the producer are not sure why and the state agency confirms its not an illegal product in and of it self

4. They would have to adjust the recipe to fit local rules, and they likely found it wouldn’t be worth it, especially when our market is so small to begin with. They’d also have to compete with Non Stop (Which is simply a much better product). Simple market research yielded a “nah”.

   You can find them in Duty Free stores tho

5. M&M’s suck and Non Stop is just better.

6. Because NonStop is better.

7. Food store monopolys at it again :/

8. We already have a superior product available..

9. I miss the peanut butter M&Ms

10. “M” tastes better!

11. because it is shit

12. Because 2 companies have similar products with similar names and they couldn’t agree who had the right to market their product under “M”.

    Iirc M won over m&m by being the older of the two merkenavner.

    edit: haha, i’m downvoted even though i provide a link. reddit really is a full of angry kids

13. we don’t like it

14. Because m&m’s is inferior.

    *adjusts monocle*

15. You might find them at the cinema. We had them in the pick and mix section when I worked there a few years ago.

16. Buy Nonstopp you uncultured swine.

17. We have M’s, which are like a gourmet version of peanut M&Ms. Better chocolate, better sugar coating, better peanuts.

18. They don’t taste that good.

19. we have something better, its called nonstop
