I voted for Reese's Pieces, but I like them both.

If I remember correctly, the ET movie makers offered M&M's the "product placement" originally and they declined. Next thing you know, Reese's Pieces is famous....

Interesting read.
Spielberg's people approached the makers of M&M's, Mars Inc., with a deal to use the candy in the film. Notoriously frugal, unpredictable, and tyrannical in their business dealings, chief executives John & Forrest Mars flatly rejected Spielberg's offer. Looking for the best alternative, the movie's producers turned to Hershey Foods for its Reese's Pieces, a relatively new addition to the Hershey product line.

This is a no-brainer. Reese's pieces win on account of their higher ownij content.

you might want to, you know....expand your horizons a little and just try a few things out there.
(not saying that candy is the be all and end all of life itself...but having not had two of the most prevelant candies on planet earth sort of suggests that there are many other things out there you probably havnt experienced but should go for.)

start small! go for it!
live life on the edge!
eat some crap!
