       More surface area!   

       +   

       (Extra points if you expand this to four dimensions.)

       r t - just suck.

       No, a two sided M&M would be of infinite thinness and zero weight, ergo impossible.   

       M&Ms are composed of a fractal surface of infinite complexity whose limits tend to that of a compressed spheroid.   

       A three sided M&M would be too pointy.
—FloridaManatee, May 27 2003
   

       Think of all the children who throw M&M's at each other who'll get their eyes poked out by the corners...
—oatcake, May 27 2003
   

       But M&M's only have one side.
—waugsqueke, May 27 2003
   

       Expand this to four dimensions? Okay, how about a regular m&m over a period of time?
—Jezzie, May 27 2003
   

       I like it...   

       I can't think of any triangular-shaped candies @ the moment, so this @ least, sounds original.

       I wondered what on earth 3M's email domain name was doing on this site.

       Triangular chocolate? Toblerone!
—Aristotle, May 29 2003
   

       3D M&M's coming at you.   

       or go with the M-theory and make it an mmmmmmmmmmm (11-d m&m) imagine if a rapper used it as his name!
—benlevi7, May 29 2003
   

       Isn't the name normally on the wrapper?
—Worldgineer, May 29 2003
   

       what is the point of having 3 sided M&M's??   

       They'd taste the same
—Pericles, May 29 2003
   

       M&M worm-holes.
—Tiger Lily, May 30 2003
   

       Fogfreak, think truncated cone.
—egbert, May 30 2003
   

       yum, 3 sided m&ms i like it, but the company would still have to include the same number of m&ms in a packet - thus more chocolate!
—peppina, May 31 2003
   

       Would'nt the m&m's break the package?
—The Tick, May 31 2003
   

       not if they have rounded edges....
—peppina, Jun 02 2003
   

       I think the best notation for this would be m^3
—kulturkrash, Jun 02 2003
   

       WWMNMS?
—funp, Jun 03 2003
   

       Why are they called M&Ms in the first place? Each one has but a single 'M' on it. They should just be called Ms.
—mrthingy, Jun 20 2003
   

       is there an M on each side? if yes, hence M & Ms. so these would be M & M & Ms?
—po, Jun 20 2003
   

       I think there's only an M on one side. The other is Mless. But maybe somebody should check.
—mrthingy, Jun 20 2003
   

       Mless - didn't even need to check. Though they aren't named for the letter on them anyway (would be a bit silly). See my link about the Mars family secret.
