Your friendly HVAC gal here to remind folks experiencing extreme cold: β’ Do NOT use unvented gas heaters, propane heaters, grills, or ovens to heat your home. Carbon monoxide is no joke! β’ Do NOT run space heaters on extension cords β’ Do NOT shut off heat completely, even if you're leaving town

it is interesting that m and ms are not really a new flavor or anything just a new delivery method. some buckaroo said 'okay if we give these a thin candy shell then you can just eat chocolate by THE HANDFUL' and the whole world was just like 'okay this is now the most popular candy ever'
