The candies were originally made in six colors: red, orange, yellow, green, brown, and violet. (Peanut candies were made in the same colors, except violet.) In 1949, Violet was taken out of the mix and was replaced by tan. Red was eliminated in 1976[1] because of health concerns about the red dye amaranth (FD&C Red #2), a suspected carcinogen. Despite the fact that M&M's did not contain the dye, red M&M's were removed to satisfy worried consumers. By 1987, the public had forgotten the scare, and the red candies were reintroduced. They currently contain Allura red AC (FD&C Red #40). In 1995, tan was replaced by blue.

When America entered the 1950s, M&M'S® Plain Chocolate Candies were quickly becoming a household word, particularly with the growth of television. In 1954, M&M'S® Peanut Chocolate Candies were introduced to the Brand's portfolio, and sales of both varieties continued to grow. That same year, the universally loved M&M'S® Brand Characters and the famous slogan, "The milk chocolate melts in your mouth—not in your hand"®, debuted in the initial TV advertising.
In 1960, M&M'S® Peanut Chocolate Candies added three new colors—red, green and yellow—to the original brown color. In 1972, the M&M'S® Brand Characters first appeared on packaging, and became increasingly known through print and TV advertising, reinforcing Brand awareness. In 1976, orange was added to the M&M'S® Peanut Chocolate Candies color mix.
Also in 1976, due to public controversy surrounding a particular red food coloring, red M&M'S® Chocolate Candies were removed from the traditional color mix. The red food coloring in question was not actually used in M&M'S® Chocolate Candies. However, to avoid consumer confusion, the red candies were pulled from the color mix.

The Sauce: What makes pad thai, in addition to the rice noodles, is the sauce. The general mix of flavors is sweet, salty, sour, and hot. Typical ingredients are: * fish sauce (sometimes soy sauce is used in addition, or in place of for pure vegetarian versions) * sugar (sometimes palm sugar is suggested) * vinegar (various kinds specified; tamarind sauce or lime juice are sometimes used instead) * "red stuff" -- may be paprika, tomato paste, catsup, chili powder, hot chili sauce, chili paste with garlic, tomato sauce, or cayenne pepper, depending on the recipe. * Other possible additions: salt, black pepper, chicken stock, dried shrimp powder. One recipe calls for boiling the sauce before using.

MM's are not as good as they use to be. They changed the colouring dyes because the old ones contained additives. sadly the new ones are not convincing during chromatography experiments.
