[M&M](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/album-art-packaging)'S Messages are making a return with fun new pack designs that share words of encouragement and images of familiar M&M'S spokescandies. There are now 28 different M&M'S Messages packs and they share timely words that are meant to be shared. On some packs, there are simple sentiments like "Slay Girl" or others like "Have a great day pretending to do work," that appeal to adults who need a pick-me-up during a day of Zoom meetings and working from home.

It's no secret that some of the most powerful ways to connect with others are through food and music, and M&M'S is tapping into both. M&M'S Messages packs include codes that can be scanned to discover a curated [Spotify](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starburst-different-every-time) playlist with corresponding messaging.
