The only ones I like are the almond M&Ms.

The Milky Way definitely has more potential. Scientists estimate it may have 400 billion stars. But it’s the old thing of “everybody’s job is nobody’s job.”

Mars currently owns two of the biggest peanut-centric
candies on the market, Peanut M&M's and Snickers.

Who knew Snickers was peanut-centric?

Well, I guess they will do whatever they have to in order to keep the prices jacked up....even if it means manipulating the “climate change”. Of course, it may eventually result in decreased sales. When that happens, they may have to advertise “new-sized” product or run a few “sales” to get the prices down to normal again.

They're also pretty sugar-centric.

...focus on protecting peanut crops from climate change.

Grow them indoors.

Why are there so many people with peanut allergies where there were little to none before?

The best roasted peanuts that I ever had were from a small shop in northern Georgia. After that, mass produced peanuts from a grocer’s are animal feed. Mass produced stuff has taste LAST behind yield, disease resistance, etc.
