Sweets To the Sweet

by Shayney


"Great idea, installing a viewscreen in the ceiling above your bed."

Harry sprawled on Tom's large bed, Tom beside him. The screen above them flickered with old-fashioned, two-dimensional images.

"This was a popular pastime in the 20th century," Tom said. "Watching movies and eating junk food."

"Junk food?" Harry asked.

"Food celebrated for its complete lack of nutritional value."

"Oh."

"Here, try some of these."

"Thanks, Tom." They munched contentedly for awhile. "What are they?"

"They were called M&Ms," Tom said. "Like 'em?"

"They're good, " Harry replied. "But why do you keep giving me the green ones?"


AUTHOR'S NOTE: For those wondering why green M&Ms...according to American urban folklore, green M&Ms make you horny. (I'm told that in the U.K., they believe this about Smarties instead of M&Ms.) No one knows how this rumor started, but M&M/Mars regularly gets requests for bags of all-green M&Ms (which they refuse). They even allude to the aphrodisiac rumor in some of their current TV ads.
