"B-O..N-O..M-O...TURK-ish TAF-fy...!"
I remember the commercials...hated the product. Yuk.

B-O-N-O-M-O. BONOMO'S. I remember the jingle to this day. Probably heard it on ads during "Andy's Gang," or some such.
The candy I loved then, and still do, is Hershey-ets, which used to be shaped like two cones attached to one another, in the same colors as M&M's. But I thought they tasted a lot better. You can still get a variation of them at Easter time, when Hershey sells chocolate eggs. Sometimes I splurge and gorge, knowing full well the vast amount of sit-ups I shall have do do in recomepense.

Hardly surprising: Hershey's has always made better chocolate than M&M Mars and their for-the-undiscriminating milk chocolate (not much of a compliment, though -- no American chocolatier's product can compare with best of Europe and Israel's dark semi-sweet).

Did you know that in Roald Dahl's preserved study, there is a 10 lb. ball of foil wrappers, accumulated from all the Cadbury chocolate bars he managed to consume while working there. I read it in a New York Times Travel section article on visiting his home.
(Thank God I've never saved chocolate wrappers! They'd weigh considerably more than 10 lbs!)

Then, if Dahl had been hired to write the Bond film that preceded YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, THUNDERBALL might've ened up being called "Wrapperball"...
