New York City Bartenders & Patrons

For a few months, I worked in a bar in Times Square that is directly across from the M&M store. I could see into it from the second floor, customers came in with their M&M purchases; I even went in once to confirm my suspicions...
This is what I have discovered: The M&M store is the MOST ridicules thing I have ever seen. It is a massive structure, 2 floors, almost an entire city block that sells crap with an M&M logo on it. Are you serious? People are buying this shit in droves!
Now, don't get me wrong I enjoy buying shit I don't need as much as anyone.... but a raincoat with a blue smiling candy on it? Is that anything besides embarrassing?
So let's say, a big portion of these people are going in to buy the actual candy... ok... i get it... they are yummy... but...::: SPOILER ALERT:::: you can buy m&ms EVERYWHERE!!! I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a deli or newsstand that carries multiple versions of this product. Oh wait-- is it the odd colors that have drawn you to the store? Were you home, eating some melt-in-your-mouth goodness, and you realized your life will not be complete unless you eat neon pink M&M? Those lame every-bag colors were boring you to death?? They will taste so much better if they were black? Grey? Aqua? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??????!?!?!?
What is it? Is the product? The logo? I don't get it!! If General Mills opened a store would people buy Corn Chex headbands? Would people fly from across the world to buy Triscut key chains? I seriously hope not!!
I really needed to get that off my chest, I feel much better.
