Someone said the movie ET initially endorsed skittles over M&Ms but the skittles company declined, thus M&Ms were put in the movie where Eliot uses it to reel in ET as bait. Thisis something I wondered about but forgot, lately I had a dream I was on the bike flying with them now and then... and it just made me think of this question. In my dream there are both M&Ms and skittles. Does anyone know the story about the candy? Is that what made M&Ms famous? I heard Skittles wished they had taken the offer to boost sales.

NOPE

Reese's Pieces were put in the movie. Reese's Pieces had just hit the market, it was part of their marketing campaign, and it was a great coup.

Not skittles, not M&M's

M&M's were the ones that regretted not having the candy in the movie.

It was M & Ms that refused to be in the movie. They went to Reeses pieces then.

It was reeses pieces. But you are right about the rest of the story. M&Ms was offered the endorsement deal at first but declined it. Bonehead manuever, huh?

Spielberg wanted to use m&ms but the company refused. Instead he used Reeces Pieces
