M&M’S® Peanut Chocolate takes a Wild, Raised Ride: Jak Boys Customs

With all of the different kinds of candy in this big, chocolate-filled world, only two would go with me in enormous quantities when I am marooned on the desert island: Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, and M&M'S® Peanut Chocolate candies. M&M'S® Peanut Chocolate Candies, with the makes-a-lot-of-sense tagline, "Melts in your mouth, not in your hand," were introduced in 1954. That's the year that the much-loved (and eaten) M&M characters first appeared, too. While literally wandering around today, camera at the ready, I made a turn and the M&M'S car was dead in front of me. I stopped. Stared. Not believing. Was this really a totally raised - "jaked" - 70's era Chevrolet Impala? Covered head to toe in M&M'S? Yep! All my favorite and delicious peanut characters that I like to down by the handful. Holding on for dear life.

With a little sleuthing I found that the company that is responsible for this transformation is Jak Boys Customs. They have done at least one other M&M'S vehicle, an SUV, plus tons of other wild rides. They have quite a big operation and I bet a great reputation to match. They will customize any car or truck, and will do repairs as well. But from the look of their website, and the vehicles I saw, they are customizing experts and are good at it. They specialist in adjusting ride heights including hydraulic jacking (like the M&M'S car), air bag lift kits, custom wheels and tires, ground effects, air brush murals, freehand pinstriping, and probably anything you can think of and describe. It's a wild, jacked-up ride for my peanut chocolate characters. Hold on guys. I wonder if I should take the car with me to the desert island? It would have to have a trunk full of M&M'S, of course.
