I got wind of Carl Chapman’s blog boycott to help raise awareness about M&M’s tie up with the The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The guy refuses to blog until he gets 25 other blogs posting about this promotion. So, here I am.

And though these pink chocolate candies are in no way scientifically proven to treat breast cancer, indirectly, it may help in looking for something that can. Each time you buy one of the specially marked bags, M&M’s will make a donation to The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, which funds researches searching for a cure or therapeutics for breast cancer.

A pity that by this time, you’d probably have been done shopping for Halloween treats. But you still have all of November to help support this cause! Look for them at your local retailers!
