“Trail mix is just M&M’s with obstacles”

“Trail mix is just M&M’s with obstacles” is a jocular saying from someone who loves M&M’s—but not the other trail mix ingredients—that has been printed on many images. The saying was posted on Twitter on October 18, 2011.
 
“Trail mix is just an inconvenient way to eat M&M’s” is a related saying.
 
   
Wikipedia: Trail mix
Trail mix is a type of snack mix, specifically a combination of granola, dried fruit, nuts, and sometimes chocolate, developed as a food to be taken along on hikes. Trail mix is considered an ideal snack food for hikes, because it is lightweight, easy to store, and nutritious, providing a quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit or granola, and sustained energy from fats in nuts.
     
Wikipedia: M&M’s
M&M’s (styled as m&m’s) are “colorful button-shaped chocolates” produced by Mars, Incorporated. The candy shell, each of which has the letter “m” printed in lower case on one side, surrounds a filling which varies depending upon the variety of M&M’s. The original candy had a milk chocolate filling which, upon introducing other variations, was branded as the “plain” variety. “Peanut” M&M’s, which feature a peanut coated in milk chocolate, and finally a candy shell, were the first variation to be introduced, and they remain a regular variety.
