Great teaser!
I hated the false advertisment of M&M's....the did , always have, and still do melt in your hand. The slogan should have been "Melts in your hand so hurry up and put 'em in your mouth"

Umm... How did you decrypt all those letters? How can this be done with or without the hint?
Nice teaser. I'm not very good with this kind of teaser--not enough patience, but I enjoyed working on this one. Thanks for posting.
I did very well for the amount of time I spent, but soon became bored and impatient. The reward does not justify the investment. Thanks anyway.
I like to do cryptograms, but I need to have them on paper and I just didn't have the ambition to copy this all down. I enjoyed the quotes though!
Reading this teaser I can honestly say I don't remember doing this.
Oh well, kind of funny it became a TOTD.
