Just been for an afternoon of driving the kids around some London landmarks and some food in China Town, when we came across a massive, Applesque store in Leicester Sq, 4 floors, all dedicated to M&Ms.

I could not believe it and it was rammed with happy looking people not looking incredulous, like I was, buying everything from M&M T-shirts to keyrings or filling bags with single colour sweeties and having pictures taken with giant M&M characters.

WTF!!!!!

I liked his first album, especially 'Stan'. However, I feel after his first spark, he never really brought anything new to the table.

When we went at Easter they had a NASCAR car in the centre of the store.

They also sold pretty much everything under the sun with 'M&M' on it.

I think it's a triumph of marketing and location over common sense.

The NASCAR was pretty cool, but the price of the merchandising, its ludicrously overpriced.

I just bought a mate a bright yellow golfball.

I went to the one in Vegas, was HUGE!.

Didn't know there was one in England or Orlando.

Which is bad because I lived in Florida for 3.5 years!

We all gawped at it for a bit whilst we were at a VIP do at 1 Leicester square, out on the balcony for a bif.

Looks damned impressive and fking massive for something dedicated to such tiny little chocolates!

Wouldn't mind going for a snoop round, do you get wristbands for free M&Ms halfway round like the amsterdam heineken factory? yum

Stan was on the second album, if you're going to make a joke, at least do your research. whistle

Stand was actually on the third album. If you are going to criticise someone for poor research, its a good idea to actually do some research yourself.
