Last week while walking home from my parents hotel I was walking through Times Square and saw an abomination a store that I had no idea existed. It’s a store called M&M’s World and it’s a store that is three floors high and sells nothing but M&M candy and accessories. Yes, Virginia, M&M’s now come with accessories...at least at this store. I thought this would be a perfect Times Square place to play...Tourist Trap OR A Place That’s Actually Worth Checking Out.

And we're off. Goddamn, it's cold out for May.

Deedle dee dee...fresh air...deedle dee dee...Times Square!

Fuck, it's after 11:00 o'clock at night and it's as bright as daytime here with all the lights. I hate it here!

Did I mention I hate it here? Oh, good.

And here we are, the M&M...and M&M and M store. Mmmmm.

Three floors of shopping!

They've got t-shirts on the first floor.

And on the second floor they've got...t-shirts.

And on the third floor...more t-shirts! Where the fuck is the candy in this place?

This guy has a vested interest in the t-shirts! I'm cracking myself up over here!

M&M coke spoons! Great...but I want candy!

Ask and ye shall receive. Vats of the elusive M&M candies.

Another satisfied customer.

She stocked up. If she only knew she could get the same product at the Duane Reade a block away at half the price.

Photo Booth!

Goodnight everybody, see you tomorrow after dark.

The Verdict!

Tourist Trap OR A Place That’s Actually Worth Checking Out?

Souvenir

Shit I forgot to get a souvenir...wait, I know...

I'd rather buy my M&M's from this guy, anyway.
