The proof: boxes of presidential M&Ms with his signature were handed out for the first time Saturday to those on Air Force One.
President Obama’s signed M&Ms.
The Examiner’s Al Weaver was the pool reporter for the president’s trip to Lynchburg, Va., and he wrote: “M&M boxes were handed out featuring POTUS’s signature for what some poolers believe is the first time.”
Up until today, blank boxes of M&Ms and Hershey’s Kisses were only available as the newer boxes were being printed. During a recent gathering with other reporters in the Roosevelt Room with Trump, Secrets grabbed a couple.
The M&Ms have a rich history dating back to former President Ronald Reagan who requested them as a replacement to free cigarettes.
Every president since has had their signature on the specially-made boxes and they are a must have for every visitor to the White House or Air Force One passenger.
