Every summer, people gather for the traditions and rituals that make life meaningful. A cozy evening campfire with s’mores, a cookout full of grilled meats or an afternoon party with poolside cocktails all make the list. As days get longer and warmer, there’s so much to celebrate. I, for one, love to mark summer by the return of one hit television show: Love Island USA.
The great thing about Love Island is that you don’t need to have watched any other season before diving in headfirst. In a world of Too Many Shows, this one doesn’t require any explanation beyond this: a bunch of single people mingle in a villa in Fiji, play games and decide who gets to stay and who has to leave. At the end, a winning couple is crowned and receives $100,000.
Of course, I get to watch the drama unfold from my sofa with unlimited snacks. Then I can text my friends about who I think makes a good couple, and who should go home. But thanks to M&M’s, my watch parties just got even more fun.
What are the Love Island M&M’s?
As with any good reality TV show, there are a ton of Love Island catchphrases that kind of become inside jokes among its fans. Sometimes these jokes even break through and become massive memes that circulate on social media—remember that “I’m a mommy” audio that was trending last summer? That came from Love Island!
M&M’s basically took the most popular Love Island phrases and printed them on its candy. So while the iconic M&M’s logo is still on the front, the backs of these chocolate candies say things like, “pull for a chat,” “closed-off” and “my type on paper.” There are also actions, too, like when you see an islander working out, snuggling or eating a late-night snack. These Love Island-inspired M&M’s will be sold in 10-ounce pouches.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Included with the M&M’s Play Along Packs are game boards, so you can play along like bingo with your friends! Simply give a random pile of M&M’s to everyone who is playing. Every time someone mentions a phrase from the candy or does one of the actions, check and see if that phrase is in your stash. Then you can fill up your game board. It’s a fun way to make sure you’re paying close attention to every minute of drama.
How can I get the Love Island M&M’s?
This is a special, limited-edition pack that is only available online beginning on June 2. You can purchase them online at MMS.com for $15.99 while supplies last. If you or anyone in your life is a dedicated Love Island fan, then this is definitely an “add to cart” moment. If nothing else, you can still get fun, summer-colored M&M’s with fun sayings on the back!
