M&M's Will Deploy a Rescue Team if You Run Out of Candy This Halloween
M&M's
M&M's is making sure there are no tricks pulled on chocolate-craving trick-or-treaters this spooky season by deploying its first-ever Halloween Rescue Squad.
M&M's parent company Mars recently commissioned a survey which found that nearly half of American households worried about running out of candy for trick-or-treaters, while 89% admitted that they've snacked on too many treats meant for the costume-clad visitors.
Thankfully, the Halloween Rescue Squad will make sure that no kid is left behind without a candy stash.
The Rescue Squad will be working in partnership with delivery service GoPuff while supplies last, filling your bowl within 30-60 minutes—free of charge. To order some emergency treats, visit the Rescue Squad's site. The helpers will be on call starting at 3 p.m. ET on Oct. 31.
In a statement, Tim LeBel, President of Sales and Chief Halloween Officer at Mars Wrigley, shared, "The Halloween season is expanding, and enthusiasm is driving consumers to shop earlier and more frequently. As the authority on Halloween, we plan for the season years in advance to ensure we satisfy shoppers' needs."
He added, "From our first ever M&M'S Halloween Rescue Squad to new product innovations, we're doing everything we can to inspire more moments of everyday happiness this season."
Additionally, M&M's is celebrating Halloween with the debut of exciting new sweets: M&M's Campfire S'mores. It features chocolate and white chocolate candies that replicate the delicious flavor of the dessert with a toasted marshmallow and vanilla-flavored layer. The candies come in three autumnal colors: white, black, and orange.
