THE SPOT
The Shrek 2 tie-in "The Kiss" promotes "ogre-sized" M&M’s. In the :30, the M&M’s Red and Yellow walk with Shrek and Donkey through a forest, telling them that the large sized candies are the result of a magic spell. Shrek suggests that maybe the spell can be broken if someone gives someone else a kiss. The M&M’s think about puckering up, but ultimately Red decides against it.
