New Pretzel M&Ms

Okay, so I picked up a couple packages of new Pretzel M&Ms the other day, and they are totally underwhelming. Little round pretzel balls, coated with chocolate and the trademark M'ed candy coating. The texture is almost identical to malted milk balls, but the flavor is just incredibly boring.  Chocolate, crunch, hint of salt.  Well, "hint" might be too strong a word.  More like "vague innuendo" of salt.

Honestly, I don't really understand the current popularity of this variety. It took me forever to find them - they seem to be sold out everywhere I go - and when I did find them, there were only two little bags left.  But they're so thoroughly "meh" that I'm not sure it was worth the effort it took to get them.
